A sleek body in still repose
Compels beautiful thoughts of literary prose
A beginning that sets the plot
An alluring middle that defines what’s not
An ending that excites and titillates
Your epilogue continues to sensate

A subtle subject for an artist’s feast
His pallet prepared like confession to a priest
Contours delineate beauty and grace
Golden hair caresses your face
Blue eyes that sparkle in morning light
Pierce my soul with sheer delight

A poet’s fantasy you are to me
Asleep in your cocoon of perpetual safety
The secular world fades from view
Your spirit alive and renewed
Aromatic scents carried by currents of air
Inspire and inflame a synaptic tear

An imposing presence cut from chiseled stone
Each angle symmetrical and perfectly honed
Features one sees once in a lifetime
Remain awhile longer in this chimerical paradigm
Imagination is a gift from above
To hold onto those we once knew and loved
