Her Accidental Beauty

Her accidental beauty,
A cacophony stood still,
A sapling in spring
Unaware of the sun.

A blooming bud
Awash with light,
Looking to the saddened sky
And catching an April tear.

Her lips two dawns,
One lighting the day,
The other hidden soft
Under a nervous bite.

Her darting eyes,
Unintentionally coy
As birds stop to hover
And angels combine.

Her accidental beauty,
A riot swept aside,
A breeze as sweet as the sugar
Fermenting as heavens collide.

    this poem is amazing. i’m still dwelling on the last stanza, i think it’s incredibly beautiful and undeniably memorable. a wonderful ode that dodges all trappings of being cliche, well done.
