+*+*+*+*+*+
You radiate heat
like the sun god Apollo,
To the ends of the Earth,
your glow I shall follow.
Golden and glorious,
you light up my life,
You banish all darkness,
all bleakness and strife.

With trident so handsome,
and comely to see,
You reign as Poseidon,
the god of the sea.
On a throne of gold conches,
you strike regal pose,
And gift this mermaiden,
with seashell red rose.

Like Zeus on the ramparts
of dazzling skies,
I am mesmerized by
the blue of your eyes.
Your magical powers,
indeed, do impress,
And forever I'll be
your angel princess.
+*+*+*+*+*+

Thought at first that was a heavy title to have to follow with a poem . . . but you did, and did it superbly...

Wow...what a sight he must be
To evoke such creativity
(And perhaps a bit of jealousy)
Indeed he sounds beyond yummy!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...
