BEAUTY ON THE HORIZON

BEAUTY ON THE HORIZON 
(Till we meet again, Patricia Osei Owusu)

Across the Horizon, I saw one in whom there is no blemish

Enthralled I became, so that I could not think or act

I stood motionless staring at such an entity

Formed by the graceful hands of nature

Full of love and kindness

A beauty she is with eyes like glowing pearls

My princess she is with a heart of pure gold

She is my guardian angel always by me wherever I go

Blazing in the furnace of beauty she puts everything and

Everyone around her in awe

A replica of Aphrodite, her beauty strikes the world

Like a thunderbolt from Zeus

Truly, beauty lies in my eyes for I looked and saw

The signet of the perfection of beauty

A beauty with the enchanting nature of the moon and

The brightness of the stars

O Cupid let me not fall for such splendor

A dreamer I may be to fall in love with such enigmatic beauty

As strong willed as a boulder

As fiery as a furnace

With a voice so soothing

I wonder why she’s not an angel

O that fair maiden, there she lies on the horizon

A spectacle to behold

A sight to cherish

Who she is, is my Comfort, my Enchantress

The Beauty on the far away horizon
