Untitled(Precious)

I am a collector of beautiful things and I choose my words no differently
Fine art at it's finest so important significantly  
Some may say I'm hiding out in the open with how I'm going to write this here
I say no it's clear how I write about something I hold to my heart so near
Something that I treasure and hold so dear
It's enough to bring a grown man to tears
I told you earlier I collect beautiful things
I'm not talking precious stones and diamond rings
I'm talking something that's not superficial, it may not catch your eye
To me it was so beautiful and I could not just walk by
Of course the aesthetics are some of the most beautiful I've seen
But something makes me look closer, you know, get in between
I don't mean this in a negative way, I'm a respectful guy
I definitely wouldn't be mad though I'm also an honest guy
I've had many pieces of fine art before this
This one was special, something I could not miss
All of the other pieces I put in a gallery of my past
This new piece had an exhibit all it's own, contained in a glass that would last
This thing is harder than a diamond, worth more than gold
Softer than a feathery touch, a precious gem to behold
This thing is priceless and it's not for sale
No use in trying to steal it, I'll send you to hell
Sorry I got out of character while talking about something so heavenly
Forgive me the Lord's still working, I'm trying to become a better me
But back to the subject, I'm talking about God's Gift to the World
I can't think of a better name, it fits so perfect
This piece of art work can't be held in a frame and can't be given in a box
Won't see it in a jewelry store or museum so searching you should stop
I have the only one God ever made and it's just for me
And it's the most precious piece of art I've ever seen

  1. I really like this piece!! First off, i had no idea you were so talented!! the overall content of it is great. Your blog layout does nothing for the structure of your poem so yo might want to think about stretching it so your lines and/or stanzas don't run together. In a nutshell though i think that it is really beautiful!!
