Imperfect Perfection

Saucy smile

pert lips

eyes sparkle

look over the shoulder

grinning

knowing my worth.

Dancing under the moon

stars shining bright

swirling

lost in delight.

Fireflies light up the night

strolling

jasmine perfumes the air

romance is high

or at least

in my mind.

Diving through sunlit waves

grit of sand between my toes

watching seagulls dip and soar

serene smile on my face.

I am smart.

I am beautiful.

I am the wild beast within.

I am strength.

I am dreams come true.

Look twice

that is what you should do

when I walk by

for this opportunity

this beauty you see

like a wisp of smoke

curling to the sky

will dissipate

leaving within

a void

where my comfort could have been.
