Glad Sacrifice -- A Love Poem



Like an angelic being shaped by the faultless hand of God from the cosmic dust of stars
You shine divinely in my sky, a brilliant incarnation of Venus to my unworthy Mars
Your Hair a cascade of scintillating gold, to touch it is like caressing a treasure
Your Eyes infintely deep blue oceans would surely make drowning pure pleasure
Your Lips a rubicund bow releasing arrows of promise to pierce my quivering heart
Your Skin like flawless alabaster from which my own lips beg never to be apart
Your Body a cool sculpture of perfection, enflames the crucible of my passion
Your Presence, the epitome of ethereal elegance, heightens my senses in its fashion
Your Self, the beauteous altar on which I gladly sacrifice an eternity of my love
You must indeed be wrought by the Creator from the blessed essence of  heaven above
