beau ti ful

beau ti ful

A Poem by Shirlena
"

self portrait

"

Looked 'cross  ways

And I said amen


I couldn’t begin

to believe my eyes

So I kept squinting dreams

And rubbing reasons

And wiping excuses

And blinking stupid

All I have to say is...



I think you’re so elliptical

I just couldn’t believe my eyes

It’s was such a surprise

Just couldn’t believe it

Just couldn’t conceive of it

I had to pinch myself

I had to look around to see if anyone else



Was watching me.

I think you’re so beautiful I wanted to

Ask someone to poke me

I thought it was some cruel joke

It was off the roof

I wanted to get me a camera

And have me some proof of your loveliness



Have a tongue tied

want to go somewhere and hide

From the glare of your sun

And your moon

And your stars

This is your universe

That only has room for

Your heaven

Your earth



You're so beautiful…

I wanna run

Freeze the scene in my

retina

developed in splendor

through its entirety

Maybe not to yourself

Or not to them

but you are so beautiful to we

who can not condemn

I've begun to recognize some of your themes, I think this "spontaneous surprise beholding" is one of your special themes. It's the rarer heart that appreciates the most. With eyes for splendor and a mind for Jupiters and ghosts.

Wow so candidly romantic and somehow self-sacrificial, ah so your a martyr below the stars after all. I knew it but again, I like this more intimate authentic verse, your poetry has a few flavors.
