the night i saw beauty
the night i saw beauty
’twas night, i gazed at beauty,
like stars, her eyes and face.
count to one! i knew,
at once that i was out of place.
could barely manage a little smile,
heck, i did the best i could.
but all of its friends pointed and laughed at me,
like i knew they would.
so i spent my time on end,
trying to find my voice.
i tried to smile, i tried
to wave and still it to my dismay
was moving away,
i knew not, nothing of choice.
staggered to my senses it seemed,
a poignant scene of sadness.
i opened my eyes
i knew not if it was real,
whichever, a sweet madness.
