Love Poem: Her

Her

(Anacreontic Verse)

Carved fierce from
sensuous stone
by an unerring 
hand to stand 
tall and naked
with me in the
morning sunlight.
Catching every
curve, reflect more
than the parts
capture something
of the rapturous 
whole, those beams
know not what
beauty they carry
as her skin -
a suple mirror - 
shows light itself
how sunrise 
ought to look.
Bright sky blue eyes 
pour into the room,
tiny prisms 
filter out 
heavens colors 
to give me 
but a glimpse.
