Poem: Precious

You are a magnificent island beauty
that would put Helen of Troy to shame.
As “Martin Luther King” was more
than a man with a message,
you are more inspiring than a simple dream.
Your lips are lush and lavish
like the petals of an angel rose.
Perfectly chiseled are your cheeks and dimples,
modest and distinguished is your nose.
As the sky could not be blue
without the reflection of the sea,
a man’s life is deemed incomplete
if he is unable to win the heart of such a lady.
Tender and caring is your touch,
able to comfort a leper’s pain.
Compassion conveyed through rainbow eyes
as natural as the falling rain.
Your mind is as sharp as a warrior’s sword,
and your tongue is as soothing as white wine.
You are a queen among women,
and I am determined to make you mine.
