Love Poem: Vilia

Vilia

Too often we see
only what we see…

forgetting each Weed 
complex as the Rose – 

and arguably 
far more resilient – 

But beauty is not
only skin deep...some blessed
throughout…his witch of the wood
also a goddess, apparent:

his Vilia,
Captive of her own 
sublime beauty
kept pure from man
by heavenly decree

as all poets carry 
a similar burden 
and revelation – 

an ideal of perfect Love

on earth never to be 
entirely requited….
