Once in a while like a goddess from Greece,
But all in the blink of an eye it seems,
Wonder but is all I could do in a day,
Its nothing but the waves in my mind, it seems.

Surrenders the winds in the light of your heart,
Imagine, a world that is ever between,
These two extremes on which we're built upon,
The night shall never end, if you go on like this

I plead with you, to the one that could do,
Whatever he pleases, whatever he desires,
What shall I do that will bring you to life?
You walk in the dust, and I see you disappear.

Love, they say is the greatest of us
But none of them see or feel how it hurts
An illusion that is real enough to make one cry
How fake is it really, tell me dear, do you see?

Its a lonely night but the goddess that's you,
Awaken the beast, in my mind, with a kiss
Tender is the touch of your lips, oh I feel
Its nothing but the waves in my mind, it seems.

Why hath nature created thy divine self?
Art thee meant to be ignored? Or embraced
Why? Carved with perfection, if only to take away?
Thy beauty: is it all an illusion?

The beauty I crave, is the beauty thee posses
But how could one say? The timeliness of thy beauty;
Should I act or refrain, the temptations?
Should I adore or disgust, the sensations?
How art thee so appealing? Even to a shadowed beast.

Thy silky hair and glorious eyes
Thy soft heart and softer grace
Thy warm words and warmer embrace
Thy pleasant odour, thy presence, even more so.

How could nature create thy divine self?
Why perfect? if only to degrade?
How could one resist, how could one abstain?
Thy beauty however, I now embrace
