perfect

Amidst the love licked ashes falling all around the flaws of human ken, I saw a perfection. 

The sort of perfection that denied any such definition. 

She was the sort that well showed scars, scratches, cracks, 

all manner of things considered impure and thus, imperfect. 

She betrayed the human definition of that word, that perfection the kind is comfortable with. 

There was no such purity of mind to her. 

Simple a human she was, typical maybe even. 

Smoke led past her lips, ash tasted on her tongue, 

and the which of the look in her eyes seemed, maybe despaired. 

She was a tower of flaw and did not match 

what men nor women would call "perfect". 

Yet still, as I see her and all of this, still, something struck me. 

Something, a feeling. 

Something I can only describe as... 

Perfection.

So since this poem is in the same format of your not blood related cousin... I can't help but to connect them.
But, truthfully sometimes I'm like John Nash in his shed out back... so I could be totally off.

She's perfect to you... even though she's just like every other being that's ever lived. Smoking that sinful cigarette- she has the flaws that contains humanity.

And yet, she still remains somehow perfect to you.

Much better than a freaking and nauseating "my lady is on a high pedestal write"... she is what she is- horrible and human and still your perfection. That is really beautiful.

Different she, but more or less. Yeah.

We all see perfection in a different way! I loved this poem and its concept!! Great write!

Thank you kindly. I do try my best... Most times.

Marvelous, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Though she may seem completely imperfect to everyone else, she is perfect to you and that is simply beautiful.

[The Poet of Black Wings]

that's not... all this is about.

Then I sincerely apologize for my misconception.

Nothing was misconcived, you just didn't understand everything.
