THE ADORABLE APHRODITE

Love smiles in her eyes

Innocence beautifies it

Charm adds splendour

Youth glorifies her spirit.

Captivating totally

Heart, mind and senses

My beloved lady bright

The Adorable Aphrodite.

Twinkling diamonds sparkle

In her gaze bedazzling

Love is her graceful mantle

Endearing, everlasting.

Helen* could have learned a lot

About love's virtues from her

And Juliet* could have gleaned much

If only she had known her.
