The Greatness that is you

 

With you I don’t believe I am so simple, so ordinary.

I feel less rough, pitiful and indeed more extraordinary.

You make me feel beautiful, wanted, anew.

And thus I am no longer haunted by what once I knew.

 

I am to Cinderella a step sister.

You are the Prince that overlooked the prettier.

To parley with the defamed hag number two.

Finding more in the simpler depths of truth.

 

And now a prince kisses a toad.

And in that moment the ugliness unloads.

Revealing the beauty from within,

Harmonious together; repudiating sin.

 

And once the majesty comes to a halt,

Still you remain princely.

I can not yet find a fault.

 

But then the reality grows and I know I could never satiate you.

There are two many better ones that would better make do

All around beauty shines with the glimmer of grace.

And you can’t help but be intrigued daily by a newer more delicate face.

 

And so easily I retreat from needing you so.

I once again return to the iciest of colds.

But for you I could never feel the slightest bit of resent.

You are too fascinating to make your bed with an unworthy mess.

 

Always I will remember the merriment of your way.

The incandescence of your memory will embellish each day.
