One look And the words run down Like a celestial waterfall
You are Beautiful
Not just handsome, Pretty, or fine No You are Beautiful
It is not for your eyes Resembling the fresh breeze Of lilies on a peaceful lake
It is not the fairness of your skin Glancing smooth and warm Like a graceful silky sunny day
It is not your soft lips A rare rose awakened by the dew Caressing my body under moonlit nights
You are Beautiful
Not just handsome, Pretty or fine, No You are Beautiful
Because the look in your eyes Glows with the sincerity of love Beyond reality and reason
Because only the touch of your skin Opens my heart to transcendence Fearless and inexhaustible
Because it is your divine lips That arouse languor in my limbs Like the moon awaking the tide
One look And the words keep tumbling Like pebbles from a mountain top
You are Beautiful, my love.
