In your eyes
dwell the angelic hosts
of heaven.

Your hair cascades
like the most majestic waterfalls
as it falls to your shoulders

Your body so perfect
that Michaelangelo's sculpture
pales in comparison

Lips so lucious
that your kiss
could send a sinner's eyes
toward heaven

When you speak
the heavenly creatures
speak in one accord.

Who can compare?

Can I be so foolish
to try to catch the eye of
a goddess such as you.

Oooh. I can't see any woman not melting like chocolate in the sun when she reads this one. Well done.

Its in the attitude.
If you look at her as a goddess you will lose confidence.
That is unless you see yourself as a god.
No matter how beautiful she is she is just a woman...
And either she will like you or not...James

Brad,
there are a few fallen goddesses who will love you forever (and perhaps smile upon you) for these words. I know I would (if I was fallen )
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
