Poem: Second to none

You are everlasting, like the radiant sun,
A sparkling jewel, my darling, “second to none”.
Your persona and compassion is “diamond rare”.
No mere shiny imitation can compare.
I admit that in ignorance
I have been fooled by “the plastic”,
the actresses in a play.
Dazzled by their seductive eyes,
mesmerised as they place their bodies on display.
As David did for Bathsheba in the Bible,
I sacrificed my soul for a coveted thrill;
But I have matured since then,
now their glisten makes me ill.
Like King Midas after the end of his folktale,
I can finally appreciate a lady
as an endearing treasure.
See you as a priceless being
who can provide me with eternal pleasure.
My dear, you are everlasting, like the radiant sun.
A breathtaking jewel, “second to none”.
