Rumi Quote: { In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beauty came into the room,
expectancy start building.
Hearing her gentle footsteps,
a tender touch heals the heart.
Sweet words ripple from her lips,
at the brink of a refrain.
They slide swiftly to the beat,
battling to build their own rhyme.
Issues vanish from my mind
when I catch her magic smile.
She draws me into her world,
as spring arrives in my town.
Shoes tell time from toe to heel,
she sings with a velvet voice.
Harp in its rack, she wails down,
offbeat tune crafted with love.
