Love Poem: Exquisite Tenderness

Exquisite Tenderness

Her long dark hair gracefully flowing
Her green eyes flash wickedly cold
Her truth shows behind her foundation
Her beauty so plain to behold
A beauty so plain to behold

She has placed herself high in her tower
Far away from the hurt and the shame
Where her soul is lost hour by hour
Where only her chains are profane

Is it love that her heart has forsaken
Can her wonder, the heavens replace
Is her world but a place torn asunder
How I long to see a smile on her face

In a world that has lost all its glory
For one so enchanting and young
What secret remains of her story
Lord, don't let her song go unsung

Her long dark hair gracefully flowing
Her green eyes flash wickedly cold
Her truth shows behind her foundation
Her beauty so plain to behold
A Beauty so plain to behold
