  • Where did you get the photos from for this video?

  • @Lindz500 I collected them from Google Images. I may have used "beautiful woman" as my search term.

  • Superb reading and poem. Really enjoyable.

  • @GAIASDREAMER Thank you!

  • "If only your eyes, your smile or your foot reveal the infinite I love and have never known." I personally find this verse mystical. It is another way of seeing a woman as a reflection of the infinite beauty and wonder of God. I am so spiritually thrilled by this. Thank you so much!

  • I love that last stanza. It really shows why he could possibly be so transfixed by mere beauty when he explains it's effect on the world and how he sees it. It is romance but put forward in a way that, it seems to me, is both emotional and logical.

  • So sensual and verry true!

    Wonderfull word's to expelnt what is the real look for a man on a woman!!

    Wonderfull.

    Thank you.
