Her lips are sweet like honey

Dripping, ichor glossed.

Her hair is brightest sunlight

Divinity embossed.

Her fingers soft and nimble

Teasing music from the air

Pressing pictures onto pages

Twisting in my hair.

Her mind is summer lilacs

full of quiet bees.

Her eyes are steadfast earth

comfort beneath my knees.

She is not quite human;

nor home among divine

Her love is worth a million souls

Her love is worth all mine.

I have none to wish for

even less to give

But her prayers stain my trembling lips

It is for her I live.
