The Fragrance Of Beauty – Look In The Mirror, You’ll See It
05-Aug-2009
Our hearts, yet not quite developed, but still overflowing
The trickster that we call life, waiting, impatiently at the door
The hue of ever present opinions, though welcome, yet overwhelming
There’s only one opinion that counts, you know it, and I do, and nobody else really matters
The gem across your brow, ever so lavishly displayed
Matters not my sweet, yet the fragrance of the ethereal image, ever so captivating
Come my darling, drink from this essence that I’m giving you
Not my essence, but God’s, taste it, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
My memory, and yours, may be intertwined in lives past
Yet my sweet, we are living in the present, cherish it, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
It nourishes your body, and rejuvenates your soul, no doubt in that
Come my sweet, get close, take a sip, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
No bitterness in this, never a regret, you have to trust me
You are close, yet not close enough, come my sweet, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
Your cup may be full, yet my darling, what you have there is hemlock
Drink not from that cup, throw it away, yes my sweet, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
Your womanhood, all but evident, for all there to see
The sweetness of your breath, oozing through, ever so gently, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
Eight hundred years, since Khayyam, graced the face of this earth
Come my sweet, we as lovers, yet the Robaiyyat as our Bible, come, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
The very essence of passion, ever so consuming, I do know that
Yet my darling, confuse not passion with madness, embrace my words, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
If Jesus were alive today, he would bless these very words
Have no doubt, my sweet, these words are indeed life, come, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
Be silent, no words needed, absolutely none
Our silence, your spirit, my passion, totally sufficient, come, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you
A Poet’s work, is never done, yet I am expecting your embrace
Make it part of yourself, eat it, yes, all through and through, let’s be one, and drink from this essence that I’m giving you

Dear yolanda

Not Throwing Your Pearls To The Swine essentially makes reference to the fact of not wasting your time with people who don't deserve it
If there is one thing that I have learnt from this past relationship, then that would be: Regardless of how much affection may, or may not, exist between the two (2) parties, the foundation of a relationship is indeed mutual trust
This person that I was involved in misrepresented herself so much, that I didn't know what to believe about her anymore
Her Misrepresentations Started With Her Actual Marital Status; Then To The Number Of Times That She Had Been Married Before; Then To Her Actual Age; Etc.
I hope that you understand what I am saying
Concealed Truth Is Very Much Like A Trapped Bubble In The Middle Of An Ocean Of Water .. Sooner, Or later, It Will Surface Itself
Again, Take Very Good Care Of Yourself :)

I read Matthews in English and in my native language before. It was awhile ago, but "Not To Throw Your Pearls To The Swine" did not get my attention maybe because I did not have the life experience like that. So sorry to hear what happened to you......I think many people had the similar experiences....you just have to be very careful!
Thank you for your input on Khayyam! I think the guy is immortal. It is amazing that he still has his influence 900 years after his death......right now I can't even remember who won the Nobel Prize for this year besides Obama......
When I have time, maybe during X-mas, I will try to read his poem..I am pretty sure I can learn a lot!
Thank you and May God bless you!!

To be honest with you, this poem was written regarding one of my relationships past:
I am truly Glad That It Is Over
This relationship reminded me of a verse in the Bible which says "Not To Throw Your Pearls To The Swine"
I Hope That You Understand What I Am Saying
Take Very Good Care Of Yourself - You Are A Sweet Lady, And Have A Kind Heart
Remember That .....

We have boring meeting every Thursday, so I usually carry my wireless laptop with me, so I can access IC and have a little fun.....I accidentally stumbled across this blog 'cause "fragrance of beauty" sounds great! It is amazing that you were able to put God, Jesus, Bible, Khayyam, Rubiyat in one poem.....it is a very beautiful poem! Thank you!
Thank you again for the 8 video links. I will e-mail the links to my former Math teacher 'cause he likes Khayyam a lot, too!
thanks,
yolanda
