Being Gorgeous

Being Gorgeous

(What it takes)

Kazam, kazoo, kablam, canoe

Water rafting down the sweet secret ride

I might have some rhyme

Down the rivers of your heart

Neon colored waters darkened through the years

Like LA rivers mixed with oil

Beauty in the melancholy world

Hold up

Back track

Zip zap

Like a mix tape on rewind

Damn you’re gorgeous

Colors spilling from your eyes

Colors of blues, reds and greens

Colors you haven’t even seen

Paint the city lights red

With flowers like roses

Roses

Roses

Roses

Primroses and Violets

Blast

Falling like sunset in the rain

And glitter pieces in the trees

Like the princess so beautiful

That gold and jewels fell from her mouth

Diamonds like your thoughts

An emerald of your soul

Rubies the size of shoes

Show the rarity of your life

Sapphires and onyx, gold and silver

I wish it were true

I wish I were you

Standing tall in the winter air

Feeling the sun in your bones

Drink deep

Sleep

Inhale the music of your mind

Enjoy the mirror applauding your soul

Rip it out

Stare at the well of color and music

Sound and wonder

Round like thunder

These pieces of lines make more sense in my head

Out here all I have to say is

Damn, you’re gorgeous

Your soul,

What’s inside

Like gold pieces in a chest

I’m just words on a page

No person, no human heart

I see fingers pressed gingerly

To words redefined

Listen to me

It isn’t what’s on your cage

Or the wallpaper of your skin

You are the data beneath

The falling sunset in rain

The city painted red with roses

Colors we’ve never even seen

Glitters in the trees

You are you

You are gorgeous

Being gorgeous

Means being you.
