You are so beautiful

V Kali asked us to choose one of three songs and use the title of that song as the first line of the poem we were asked to write. I chose You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker. I wrote the following poem for Denise.

You are so beautiful.

Your beauty captured me.

Tied my hands around your waist.

Bound my heart with so much haste

That I could only see your beautiful face.

And that is all I wanted to see

In front of me,

From now until always.

And then you teased,

And laughed, and sang your song

Before my ship sailed away,

And I was gone.

I longed for you

And me to be together.

I was bold

To Dream

That we’d grow old

Together.

All because

You are so beautiful to me.
