HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL

Hauntingly Beautiful

you stand before me
within arms reach
and yet you seem
so very far away
your beauty
leaves me speechless
your grace
makes me clumsy
and your eyes
make me want to hide
not from shame
but because they leave me
feeling exposed
and vulnerable
your beauty
your haunting beauty
at a glance it can be missed
but your beauty is deeper
than the physical
it slides into the mind
confusing reality
your skin glows with a radiance
never before seen
and when you leave
it's like you
are still there
ever present
ever watching
ever beautiful
hauntingly beautiful
lingering in the minds
forever enchanting
those who do more
than glance
at the initial
illusion
that you present
to the unobservant
