My Beautiful You

Taking your face into my hands
I gaze deeply.
And with a fingertip slowly trace
You
Eyes, nose, forehead
Arching eyebrow, high cheekbone
Curve of your cheek, firm chin
Small little laugh lines at the corner of each lip
And with eyes closed
Commit every feature to my mind
Memorizing the map of my heart's delight
Made real in your visage.

And opening my eyes, I lean in
Softly take your lower lip
And gently bite down
Tasting your flesh with hunger
Tongue slowly tracing the outline
Of each bite
As I seek to memorize your taste
Embed it in my mind
Immortalize the taste forever and beyond.

You are so beautiful
In so many ways
That it takes my breath away
Every time I hear you
Speak the words
That burn into my very soul
"I love you"
And you may deny all you want to
when I call you beautiful
Cringe slightly when you hear the words
"You are my beauty"
Laugh it off to your heart's desire
Beg me to stop (which I will never do)

You are the most beautiful woman
This guy has ever seen
Held, touched, tasted.
Beauty as beauty is meant to be
Where it starts in your heart
And then shines on your face
And lights my world
In all the hues of you
You
My beautiful you.
