i gaze upon your face
timeless time of wonderment
lasting look of love
-----
ancient hercules
storied in myth and legend
poems by old poets
-----
neither elf or sprite
siren sea nymph nor naiad
most charming matron
-----
not so innocent
in love with rascal poet
forgives him his sins
-----
beautiful the dawn
lighting up her morning smile
with which she warms me
