1I've been promising myself to create something nice and happy to compensate for all the darker things that I've been writing about. Well here's that: a poem of what I find most beautiful in both the world as you see it and the one in my imagination.
Fräulein
Better than the tropical paradise
The waterfalls pouring from the heavens
And the rainbows that glow from the mists
More so than the snow-monkeys bathing in a hot spring
The flowers in the Garden of Eden
With the play-fighting of the hummingbirds
The dolphins showing off their acrobat skills
And the countless colors of the reef-life
What I find most beautiful in the world
I see everyday
A constant reminder of what I live for
Everything that has made me into what I am
And has transpired to make me even better
Like a guardian angel protecting my honor
Or a goddess I worship
A divine presence I can feel with all my senses
One that commands my attention
Through every aspect of my life
What I find most beautiful in the world
Occupies my most creative of imaginings
Even in the almost limitless domain of thought and dreams
Nothing can ever seem more beautiful to me
I open my eyes and it remains there
Forever comforting my insignificant existence
Reassuring me that I have purpose and hope
Telling me that I belong where I am
What I find most beautiful in the world
Has a stupendous complexity
And an overwhelming power over everything
But like any power in our universe
It can also be dangerous
Like any godly wrath
It would be best to be careful
For the mood of this power forever changes
Like the glow of the moon
What I find most beautiful in the world
Has a delicacy that requires constant appraisal
A state of mind that has very weighty needs
Like any river delta
It needs a guide to the oceans
A correct path that will lead to salvation
The missing link to overall perfection
To the absolute limits of the real
To the possibility of ultimate happiness
What I find most beautiful in the world
Is oddly enough something I find inapproachable
Like the stem of a rose it has thorns
I have never learned how to pick one up
Without looking like I ran into a cactus
No matter how amicable or open they may seem
I seem to read the signs wrong
I've only encountered the dangers before
I wish I didn't fear them so much
What I find most beautiful in the world
Is something I wish I could discover
They represent the sum of all my respect
And make me feel completely insignificant
Like a celestial body next to a grain of sand
I feel the stress of the importance they represent in my life
My body shakes and my voice crackles when I pray to them
Yet when I only observe them from a safe place
They sooth my heartbeat and relax my breathing
What I find most beautiful in the world
Is my greatest of needs
What I require to continue on
The very drive that leads my life
The very reason why my hands venture on their own
To approach textures and shapes
That can never be as comfortable
The reason why things smell so distinct
But can never smell as good
The reason why colors can sooth
But can never be as warm
The reason music can be so powerful
But can never seem as mesmerizing as their natural melody
The reason why things taste so sweet
But can never be as filling
For no amount of searching can ever find more than this
What I find most beautiful in the world
Is what I love the most of what life has offered
In my search for purity
In all my observations
In my undying opinion
Women
I know, I know: So you think all of this was predictable? You knew what the ending was going to say didn't you? You didn't even need to agree with me to know this did you? Well it's all true. I swear to you: there's nothing I can possibly imagine that can be more than what women are to me. Nothing can be more beautiful, more intriguing, more intense, more desirable or closer to perfection than women. Just sitting next to you brings a smile on my face. I can't find a greater joy, a greater sanctuary or a greater inspiration. If you don't believe me then why did you find it so predictable? You know it's my opinion and you know you can believe it. Now that you know how important you are to me… have a nice day : ) This was a happy poem and I hope you liked it.
PS. I know I wrote stuff about thorns and mood swings and wrath but I find that beautiful all the same. Even though I love the majority of you, I still love your individuality the most.
