Sacred  is your Image
~*~

My first night home
Your name I see upon my mind
Caused my heart to skip a beat
I rushed through all
The preliminaries
To enter your site.
~*~
As my hands became sweaty
Shaky and uncontrollable
My heart could no longer anticipate
The loveliness awaiting my vision
Then it opened
Your true loveliness
Completely covered my full screen.
~*~
Like a master portrait
Hanging in a private chamber’s wall
Or a religious tapestry Icon
At the holiest inter sanctum
Of the Vatican.
~*~
With the true image of a Goddess
Noting in the word
Can ever compare
With what my eyes are graced
To visualize.
~*~

There you were
Like the symbol
Of  a canonized saint
There I was standing before you

Staring past your portrait
Into your lovely mysteriousness

Of eyes.
~*~
Like an idol worshiper
Fantasizing dreams
That will never come true
Yet here I still stand
Deeply in love with you
What more can I ever do?
