Awed by heavenly beauty, the words of lovely poetry are broken into simplicity.
Blinding melodies are sung to announce the arrival of an august divinity.
The constellations are dumbfounded by your radiance as the moon collides with the sun.
Dusk is overshadowed by Dawn.
The embraces of Love and Wonder become inevitable.
Sunrises and Sunsets become unforgettable.
The most precious gold is worthless in comparison to your caring heart.
Each spoken word by you is a work of living art
Brought to life by the breaths that were taken away.
Captivated as well, I ,the poet, try to find the right words to say
To the Modern Aphrodite.

Hello there! I just wanted to tell you thank you for the comment you left. And I love your description.. it could not have been worded any better! This poem is so angelic an delicate. The way you describe this girl in the poem is how I would like to describe the poem. I mean, hello, this is absolutely breath-taking! Reading this poem just feels so graceful and light. All things you say pop into my head vividly. It's all so clear. Your vocabulary is wicked good. This shows so much talent. I hope some day I get a poem like this written to me. Once again, BEAUTIFUL job.
