Adoration

Adoration

Laurel leaves grace
thy handsome brow
Where the light
of strength, wisdom
and kindness shines
past centuries to equal
Solomon, Socrates, and da Vinci
as timeless contemporaries.
Libra's balance sustains and tempers
passion, power, and creative obsession
as an admirable directional force.
Thy fair countenance,
made fairer by thy genuine heart,
draws me to thee in love's mystical nature.
 A sonnet's complication
would tribute thee,
but these simple phrases
are wrought with love and adoration.

 For Gino from Marsha February 14, 2008
