Song of Songs

by sibyllene   Mar 1, 2007


Your lips, they are too fierce for this earth,
showering grace and inciting devotion.
The grace of your eyes, from living marble sculpted,
they are cast with the shadows of Heaven, too
heady in their cool depths.
The smooth line of your nose is noble, finer than gold.
The strong and soft give of your skin,
man of my heart,
it is better than velvet to me, more lustrous than
honey-polished wood, more
enticing than silk.

Too much, this bright external beauty, to
match the mud and dust from which we spring.
