Love Poem: Beautiful Girl

Beautiful Girl

the wind blows her hair 
creating the illusion that it has a life
of its own

her head held high
she has the confidence of a lion
walking away from a fight
proud and victorious

eyes as blue as water
clear and pure
shining with the strength of the sun
powerful as a waterfall
sweeping down a rocky cliff

skin as pure white
as ivory
gleaming and gorgeous
innocence and beauty 

her face lights up when he comes into view
no wonder he loves her
shes everything I'm not

I hide in the shadows
watching what I will never have:
him
