Beauty Steals the Stage
by Sylvia  Leigh

You,  
 my love, 
 are a paradox...
A mind-bending twist 
 of flesh and fantasy.
The strangest things occur
 whenever you are near.

Your smile precedes you
 and the very heart
 of essentia
 seems to dissipate.
Flowers and foliage are drained 
  of magnificent color 
  and rather appear 
  in dull dreary 
  shades of 
  water-colored gray.

Stars cease to shine and 
  light fades to darkness as
  Beauty steals the stage...
In like manner,
  the moon reverentially yields 
  her undisputed eclipse
  to the shadow of your infinite light.

Dissimilarities abound
  throughout all of nature.
And absolutely everything 
  becomes nothing at all...
  in one moment of you.

I swear this 
  by all that is...
You,  
  spirit and flesh,
  naughty nymph and
  coveted angel...
You are the essence
  of lust and life...
You may as well
  blush in constellate shame...  
How dare you
  indenture all heaven and earth!?
You?ve  transgressed 
  the course of galaxies 
  and now
  Heaven pales
  in desperation,
  while 
  resting beneath your
  sensual touch.
