Your beauty extinguishes all others,
O Nova of brilliant light purifying
all pretenders who move in your midst
and leaving dust piles in your wake.
My Musa whose features are water-drawn,
you are my mutable feast changing
incarnations from bookish girl
to seductress to mother with babe at breast.
You stir this pen to write you real,
I believe I am still in dreaming
and you arose whole from my skull
as some pedestal pure ideal of woman.
Your every gleaming cell respires beauty,
You are an unobtainable mile
for me to reach like a yellow moon
looming beyond neanderthal hands.
Falling within distance, I re-surge
until at last my arms enclose you.
Nice work, thanks for posting!O Nova of brilliant light purifying
all pretenders who move in your midst
and leaving dust piles in your wake.
My Musa whose features are water-drawn,
you are my mutable feast changing
incarnations from bookish girl
to seductress to mother with babe at breast.
You stir this pen to write you real,
I believe I am still in dreaming
and you arose whole from my skull
as some pedestal pure ideal of woman.
Your every gleaming cell respires beauty,
You are an unobtainable mile
for me to reach like a yellow moon
looming beyond neanderthal hands.
Falling within distance, I re-surge
until at last my arms enclose you.
