To all beautiful women
You have a powerful smile
Now this may sound strange
But please stay, listen for a while

Our hearts in your hands
You must handle with care
Because your carelessness and cruelty
Is a harsh burden to bear

And do not take it for granted
This gift given to you at birth freely
For it has won you praise and love
Without effort, so easily

Beautiful woman, let the day shine through your smile
Beautiful woman, please come talk to me for a while

Beautiful woman, won’t you take comfort in my arms
Beautiful woman, please heal me with your charms

Beautiful woman, you are an exotic being
If only you knew, you could pluck my heart like a string

To all the beautiful woman
You hurt like you heal
As you send my mind spinning
On this maddening wheel

You need to understand
Just what you do to me
Whether weighing me down with grief
Or lifting me up with glee

I prize your smile more than a gem
In the memories of my mind
And it is my wildest of dreams
That you would value me in kind

Beautiful woman, you hold me in a trance
Will you let me take you by the hand, and run off with me to dance?

Won’t you visit me, upon your graceful wings
I truly seek the healing that your love brings

You just don’t know how much I need your smile today
Please give it to me in any sort of way

Beautiful woman, you shine like the night sky
Beautiful woman, I have this sudden urge to fly
An extremely embarrassing poem I wrote when I was sixteen....
