Beauty

Nothing is more beautiful

Beauty

 

There will never be anything more beautiful

Than waking up in a messy bed,

The sun coming through the royal window,

Warming your bed and the covers of wool and cotton

 

There will never be anything more beautiful

Than the smell of fresh coffee and tea

Lingering lazily up the stairs into your cracked bedroom door,

And the prickly aroma of scones and sweet pastries of love

 

There will never be anything more beautiful

Than the nakedness of the human body

Pressed closely to another,

And the nudeness of emotions and affection

 

There will never be anything more beautiful

Than the laugh of your lover

So close to your ear and closer to your heart,

So sharp that it pierces any impurities inside you

 

There will never be anything more beautiful

 

Except you

I know this'll probably sound redundant, but this poem is simply beautiful! There's a lot to cherish from start to finish. In particular, I love the details about setting the stage of an early morning, resting together. The smell of coffee and tea, a warm bed, the naked emotion coupled with the closeness of two nude lovers cuddled together. It's open but secure in a deep way. That line, second before last. "... Pierces any impurities inside you." That's very profound and interesting noting how beautiful the lover is. This is very sweet and lovely. Excellent!
