I had this penchant for beautiful men. What can I say? So sue me ....
You stand framed In my doorway, A modern god, Priapus made mortal, Pride of Aphrodite. The backlight plays Shadow games in your hair; The muscles of your belly Would drive Michaelangelo Insane with envy, and Would make Pygmalion weep. It is not finished; Opposing wills of flint and steel Strike sparks into the Tinder of our beings. The fire begins again, Consuming us both, Until at last, like the Phonenix, I rise up singing From the ashes of your body.

The backlight plays
Shadow games in your hair;
The muscles of your belly
Would drive Michaelangelo
Insane with envy, and
Would make Pygmalion weep.

I mean, they say I've got nice legs but--
