An Ode to Her Beauty

Yes, she is so beautiful that my eyes
faint at the sight of her sweet face, my heart
skips a beat too often with the rhythm of
her footsteps, so exalting to my ears!

My mind keeps growing obsessed with her thoughts
in broad daylight and when moonlit softness
of long and empty nights immerse the sun,
my craving limbs grow numb from her wild dreams!

My old skin, despite the burden of time
still finds a tautness hidden in its folds,
when my mind can sense her sweetness around,
perhaps from her scent floating in the air!

Her beauty robs me of my words too, I become
speechless as my heart begins to throb like a drum!
