Radiant vision
silken skinned
sheer translucent
as a coral flame
you tempt my dreams
you rouse my slumber
you’re torrid
as a teen’s temptation
I am captive
to a lover’s pyre
kindle’d tinder
with slightest spark
sure consumed
by goddess fire
your delicate face
captivating
a visage more gorgeous
than heaven’s angles
comely soft
as spun-gold velvet
your hair a-flow
an enchanted rose
magic
to mystify
a petal’s blush
sensual to touch
soft
as a lover’s sigh
you’re Hedone’s daughter
lush with passion’s nectar
afire
in golden ardor
that folds upon you
sensuous as satin
your beauty
like a summer sunrise
so stunning
as to blind
creation’s eyes
you are fast
as a moment passed
light of foot
as an autumn zephyr
graceful
as a gliding doe
your courage
is your legacy
deeply rooted bravery
tempered well by history
relentless struggles
for equality
you’re strong
as an April storm
your scowl striking
as thunder’d lightening
your smile enticing
as a gentle rain
you are thinker
you are teacher
you are lover
you are mother
sacred source
of the human race
you are goddess
ever beautiful
divinely-splendrous
sculpted grand
brought forth
in nature’s glory
from fair eden
by Aphrodite’s hand
