You smile
Into my open eyes
I defy anyone
Not to call you beauty
A golden mean
A golden rule
Everything in proportion
Life
And all that she offers
In a skin sealed envelope
Posted with a smile
Any kind of music
Or sounds not only of birdsong
Any time you choose
In bounds the light
In time, in tempo, in mood
In or about to be with love
In or about to be with love
You begin
With mist moist eyes
Surprised
By disingenuous guise
I lie beside you
I defy anyone
Not to call you beauty
Any, or any other imagination
Any soldier, any platform
Any station, any journey
Lovers they
Gaze to say goodbye
And so also, for you and I
This morning we gaze to say goodbye
To rush headlong
Towards our next meeting
To rush headlong
Towards our afternoon
For our journeys are local
Also further than the clouds
For our togetherness is total
Also further out
Beyond and proud
You sing
With an unsteady tremble
Soft female sounds
Permeate your grounds
I try; and decide to defy anyone
Not to call you beauty
I cry, and softly
Politely
Defy anyone
Not to name you beauty
