#1 of Po-eems

Hastily scribbled one day at work some months ago. Completely forgot it until now.

Like a flute made out of clear wax  
Like fresh polish on an old tenor sax  
Like an old barfly who remembers how to sing  
Like a fragile crystal bell with a celestial ring  
Like childhood's shining toy ball  
Like someone named after alcohol  
Like giving up cigarettes (and this time meaning it)  
Like hearing your favorite song and really feeling it  
Like a summer morning, like a winter night  
Like a spring apple after the very first bite  
Like a piece of gold hauled up from the brine  
Like a bottle of vintage wine, a new spool of twine  
Like woodsmoke and diesel, the smell of autumn  
Like a 1930's film actress and her lace-framed bottom  
Like breaching the astral plane, intense erudition  
Like the first drop of beer after a long intermission  
  
You are  
Beautiful
