Poetry - "Ugly Attraction"

Ugly Attraction

will you not come with me?
there’s something i want you to see


i've shown such ugliness in the past
that which stood out in my mind
that which most troubled my heart


presenting that ugliness
with grace of language and wit
somehow, you found beauty in it all


so now i wish you'd come with me
to let me show you the beauty
i've kept hidden in my heart 


come

through my eyes, see the wind dance
be embraced by rays of light


caress the earth
savor the skies


let me wash you with my tears
beneath the sun and stars


come see God
within a blade of grass


would you, could you
be drawn to this heart?


or is the attraction only there
when i’m being ugly?
