Love Poem: Aphrodisia

Aphrodisia

She moved round the Fair on nary a care
floating on cloud cushions of Spring Gaelic air
as goers strutted their finest wares. 
Upon her arrival, a wicked west wind
did suddenly appear rifling
its way through the crowd. 
Ceasing its terror-----seeing the error
careful to zephyr each lock of her 
resplendent Rapunzel hair.
Every man there stood frozen in stare
with mates aghast in virulent despair,
throwing vexing fits of dubious---"BEWARE"!

Relucent gypsy eyes, Esmeralda eyes
glistened a crystalline Blue--tranquil yet deep
limpid and true, buoyant and sweet.
Seductive, Alluring, looks to mesmerize
Enthralling, Entrancing romancing their lies
secretly hiding a secret visceral guise
for all to gasp and marvelize.

Godiva aura skin, face of angels, like heavenly
aphrodisiacs streaming home from the sun
enlightening each bystander one to one.

Lips that launched a thousand ships of fools-
with kisses that dwell in forever.

Upon her leave all flocked to perceive
a life unlived by paltry pulchritude
rather one of sapient servitude
Once gone from sight--day tumbled to night
caressing lovers argue never to fuss or fight.

Can we meet at Life's crossroads with equal Temptation?
taking a breath in mutual Contemplation
kneeling in the presence of an awaiting Revelation.
