Her Beauty
Her beauty is her heart
Its glow is warm and bright
Some say that it's her darkest part
But they have never seen her light
.
Her flame used to be young and free
It's now hidden from the prying eye
A scared little girl changed glee for steel
She built her walls so high
.
Her love is like an ocean wave
Gentle, encompassing yet powerful and strong
Happiness is all she'd crave
Destroyed by making her feel wrong
.
Her love is strength and guidance, too
Leading from her darkened past
A smile from him and "I love you"
Are sun rays in the curses cast
.
Her eyes aren't windows to her soul
They're bigger, deeper, coldness and heat
Happiness and pain, a lioness on the prowl
A sunrise, horizon, a whole world on two feet
.
Her gaze can be piercing, a smoldering flame
But loving and gentle all the same
If she gifts you her love, her heart, mind and soul
Be assured it's eternal and never let go
.
Since I've been asked, the lyrical "he" is meant to be Henry.
