Statuesque
Your body looked like a classical Greek statue
Under the nightly dark of some mysterious museum gallery
Soft light on marble skin glowing
Upon warm, pale supple curves
Casting shadows so deep, so irresistibly dark
I plunge into the event horizon of your love
Molecules torn apart
Rearranged in infinite states
I re-emerge, now wholly different
A parallel familiar place
The gallery and mystery
The statue near that dark staircase
Fabric of this dream dissolves
Swept away without a trace
Leaves me just a fleeting glimpse
Soft ivory glow on a carved marble face

I am stunned
That this poem has no comment, this is beautiful work the light and shade move through my mind, I can see the tableau set before me, sigh, I have missed this so much. This is gorgeous work; I cannot fault it.
I am still gobsmacked no one has left a comment. But I am chuffed I found it first.

dearest Tim,
I agree with Seren.
beyond that, I am enamored with these lines,
Casting shadows so deep, so irresistibly dark
I plunge into the event horizon of your love
Molecules torn apart
Rearranged in infinite states
Wow!!!
