    Bathing Beauty

    Bathing Beauty
    ~

    No thought could contain her,
    Her enormity not defined;
    When she was brought to this life,
    It was to fill a part of being sublime.

    And if two eyes could at once meet,
    Mine would be held inside a dream;
    The day I could look up and see,
    Ravishingly her looking over me.

    For she had a radiance not unlike the sun,
    And a wonderment unmatched by an eclipse;
    As restless she was like a vessel tossed by the sea,
    A lady who woke the moon as bathing beauty.

    I like it. But maybe that just because I'm currently in love, and it made me think of her.

    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    That's a good thing. Yeah it's a fluff piece that I tend to write. I'm glad you're in love. Can't beat the feeling.
