3 things
a man creates
happiness
a profit
beauty

every day
we choose
to create

every day
we sacrifice one
for another

profit for happiness
happiness for beauty
beauty for profit

it is a strange
and difficult task
to balance
the three
but to be a man
demands balance

to sacrifice balance
to sloth and greed
is the greatest crime
a man can commit
upon himself

so every day
we choose

Beauty isn't the number
on your bra strap
Nor the number on your IQ test
Hell it ain't the number
On your bank statements either

Not the number on your waist line
Or the amount of teeth you have
Not how many people
Laugh at your jokes or have your number

Beauty is the room in your heart
The space you allow
For all people
All creeds
All religions
All colors
All living things

Beauty is the respect
You have for yourself
And others

Beauty is the strength
To stand up for those
Who are being tread upon

Your actions
make you beautiful
Not your body

Your beauty is what you make of it

Sparkling moonlight
As beautiful as dawn
In the golden gate
I gaze upon the heavens
Dissecting every star
Every galaxy
And celestial body
Every planet and 
Every solar system

I see within
Life
I see death
I see
You and me
But most importantly
I see nothing
For within nothing
Lies beauty
And peace

Sitting upon the hill
Gazing the distance
I see the blooming flowers
Opening themselves to the world

Sun Rising
Sun Falling
Beauty in their synergy
Light
And Darkness
Both sides of the same coin

I find equal beauty
In the sunrise
As I do
The flowers
And as I find
in *you

I took her sweet hand
Into mine
She was shaking
As she looked me in the eye

"Do you love me" she asked
My heart skipped a beat
did she doubt me? I wondered
Wrapping my arms around her
I whispered sweetly
In her ears
now and *forever

I was once lost
In the confines
Of my own soul

My heart inside out
And the world felt
Like it was
Every kind of backwards

But today
Will be different
I will put things
Rightside up
Whether you're here
Or not

And even if my heart falls
I will rise

And even if I lose my way
I will rise

And even if you blind me
I will rise

And though you don't love me

I will rise

What
Is the pit in my chest?
Numb to all emotion...
But....
An unmistakable
Unexplainable
weight is there...
I desire your presence
I feel it will drive this
Pain away
But as you near
It gains weight
I feel my chest sinking
And as my heart falls
Further
I seek you
Further

Until one day
I find myself soo deep
I cannot find my way back
To the your world

And now
Inverted
My heart pushed
So far
I am lost
In my own soul
I am lost
In my own mind

I know but one thing anymore...
I know you....
And that once
burning desire

One thing is left
That once burning desire
So curious I am
I cannot find reason not to
Grab hold of it
Once more.....

I fall
Indefinately
Lost in my own world
Where I will sink
Till I find
What I lost...

As the sun sets
And the stars rise
I look upon these
Twinkling and majestic lights
Truly noticing them for the first time
Its an experience one never forgets
And as I gaze
Upon this beauty...
I can't help but reminisce
Of the twinkle in your eye
As you said
"I love you"
An experiernce one never forgets
