    Ode to beauty
    To beauty, such treacherous lover,
    My vows of never taking my eyes off her -
    (the silent, sleeping form of
    the goddess on this earth)

    To beauty, such treacherous lover,
    A prelude to a deadly kiss -
    Whilst I watch from afar
    The graceful lines of her lips.

    To beauty, such treacherous lover,
    I offer my words for her to use -
    Like the poet forever writing
    Love letters to his muse.
