Beauty long sought for, incarnate, consummate
Found but in marble serenity quiescent
Wayward impetuously leapt into being
With you and in you.

Rapturous, exquisite past all concealment
Love in a sigh breathed to perfect fruition
Seeing unclothed unashamed in the sunlight
Glad adolescence.

Tremulous flesh in its riotous beauty
Flashing yet delicate past all expressing
The mirth of the world, and the joy of mere being;
Life at its zenith.

Eyes that fulfill all the yearnings of twilight
Mouth that steals open like dawn o'er the ocean
Figure more beautiful than (dared one imagine it)
God in his boyhood.

Now in thy nakedness, radiant, triumphant
Known by the salt waves in amourous transport
Kissed by the warm wind, caressed by the wavelets
Monarch of beauty.

Thus to have seen you is light for all ages
Just to have dreamed you is rapture for ever
But to have loved you is moment for lasting
For ever immortal.

Vibrant the future responds to your movement
Sinous curves round all living to loving
Perfect contentment at last is accomplished
Full and sufficient.
