I gaze on the face of my Beloved Each line, each wrinkle I know there The crinkle of eyes when she smiles And the upturned corners of her mouth Rosy red cheeks, the tilted chin And lips like red, red wine The taste of honey in her kiss That lingers for a while I think of time I not knew her When Beloved's face was strange I thank God I know you now And you belong to me

About this poem:
A Beloved's face was not always a Beloved's face but someone you might not even have looked at twice in passing on the street.
