How shall I explain what it is to thee
That entices a man to suffer such loss
How thou art all and entire to see
Graven thy image felt on skin embossed
A smile which issues from the lips and eyes
Mystery from inner depths to explore
Beauty both timeless and personified
A touch which makes cause for kings to implore
Stir the echoes in the well of a soul
Fathomless thy reach across time and space
Unworthy suitors thy heart they not know
They kneel prostrate in presence of thy face

I will try to explain what makes thee fair
Yet I fall short as nothing shall compare

I love this line... so much I forgot for a moment to finish the poem. *S*

But the whole is wonderful! You write of beauty great enough to start wars but from the perspective of one admirer... and give us excellence! *S*
