Playful nymph proves strenghth is but a word
By sensual movement in rythmic grace
Strongest mens convictions now prove absurd
Lost amidst this flesh; this face

Hair of Ambrosia and earthen eyes
Full ripened lips moistened with dewy wine
Divinely faceted figure without compromise
Flawless skin made of porcelain, most fine

And yet, now another facet is placed
In innumerable layers lay untold emotions
Depth of soul; the physical relplaced
Exquisite beauty in thought and untold devotions

Evolving in endless parades of seasons
Not spewed forth in empty vanity
Full implication and flawless reason
Breath of life; Breath of sanity

Unbound with logic's cold intent
Unfettered by religious misguided words
Deaf to empty and unfelt repent
Out of step with the mindless herd

In more than image the mask retreats
Which beauty to honor is a difficult choice
Here in her soul the elegance repeats
In fathoms of thought, I hear her voice

For, in her words... the compassionate being
Honesty of experience; emotion of thought
Vision of love, bound with a mothers seeing
Education of life, that can never be taught

Herein beauty exists in mirrored reflection
Outward and inward in all the right places
Please, am I that she has allowed this detection
For more radiant is this creature with twin, exquisite, faces
      

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Absoluetly

this type of rhyming has always been hard for me, so I admire those who have it mastered
