Depths Of A Woman

Blue
Not sad, but deep
Portrayed flesh amidst a sea of blue
Wide-eyed beauty
Lips aglazed
I splendor at the sight of your face
I see all women in you
Whether young or old, the look is true
The magic comes through to light all within
Never to doubt the existence of love again
Wake me with your gaze, 'til I open wide
Touching the depths that resonate the beauty of being
