You showed me a glimpse of your beauty
And I with only human eyes, stared
Dumb, still, frozen
I wanted to say gorgeous
But it didn’t sum up the curves or how my eyes moved along with ease
I wanted to say beautiful
But it didn’t capture the shades of shore, to waves to the heart of the ocean
Nor the shades or waves of emotions that flowed on my skin, in my core
I wanted to say phenomenal
But what it did to me now and what it would forever could not be contained in words
I wanted to say
But my voice was lost, my mind empty
And my eyes beheld
In case I blinked
And that would be ungrateful
