~ The Promise Of Perfection ~

~ The Promise Of Perfection ~

There is a quiet in her face
       Where a heavenly paradise resides
A magical garden, is that place
       Wherein, all calm, all love, coincide
There, the promise of perfection, grows
Through eyes that hold what only love knows

Those soft moments one can't explain
       Those fleeting looks that hang in the air
Which causes smiles, hard to contain
       Quickly covered with a toss of her hair
Yet, as the promise of perfection, grows
It drives a solitary man, to quietly compose...

With words that show the heart of her
       And phrases that explode upon the page
Her poetry becomes the purity of splendor
       Her radiance, becomes legend, for any age
And so, the promise of perfection, is attained
                         And then,
"My heart is hers, and there, shall forever remain!"...

Tony Taylor

* This is dedicated
         To,
The most beautiful person
    In my entire
         Life...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY P!!

Hi Tony,
Got your message.
I enjoyed your poem - I seem to
have been in love most of my life,
sometimes cosmetically,
sometimes truly.
Your poem is a reflection of the latter
and comes shining through - you caught
everything there was to catch.
Keep well and safe.
Love,
Terry.
xoxo :)

Hi Tony,

I am happy for you, az the words tell it all, your affection is so sincere and tender
Kind of brought tears to my eyes, okay, it did

Wow! This is something new; short and concise..  Words come easy when one is honest.. " Her radiance becomes legend for any age" 
and so, the promise of perfection is attained.
My favorite lines..
I'm happy for you Tony.. Happy Birthday to your poet friend. 
I like the title ' promise of perfection'
Glad not ' in pursuit of perfection ' for there is no such thing as perfect...it's within us....
When I sing high notes without strain...
that's when I attain my promise of perfection LOL.
Stellar write..

Tony, this is such a delightful read. Your heart shines in every word. We all seek happiness. Your poetry radiates such warmth. You have captured that which we all long to treasure. As ever you have penned to perfection the powers of the heart, and what it can force our eyes to see. The beauty in another. And your beauty illuminates off this here page 

Your friend Gwen x
