Love Poem: Natural Beauty

Natural Beauty

Many a day has passed 

Since she entered my world 

And since then my mind has been clouded 

By the image of this girl 


If my mind were a garden 

She would be the perfect flower 

At the peak of its bloom 

In its most fertile hour 


If my mind were a hot Summer day 

She would be the cool breeze 

As it glides through the shade 

Of the tallest of oak trees 


If my mind were the Winter 

She would be the Christmas snow 

Covering flowers, trees, cars and houses 

So only white would show 


If my mind were the ocean 

She would be the sunset over the horizon 

Possibly the greatest natural beauty 

And finally, I’m realizing 


That it takes neither money nor possessions 

To reach the greatest happiness of the heart 

Because a woman as beautiful as nature 

Can touch a man and create such a spark
