Her love unlike anything under the sun
Soothes the soul
Pleasant to behold
Assures and calms men
A rainbow in a dark world

Beyond comprehension is her character
Perfect mixture of vanilla and lavender
Creatures made for beauty
Endowed to satisfy
Beauty renewed with age

Her love cannot be compared to any other
Stronger than a fortress guarded by battalions
Secure like an eagle's nest
More tranquil than a palace garden
Tastier than the vines of Greece

It endures the seasons
It survives the quakes and storms
The assassin cannot prevail over it
Survives scourges and disease
It will be endure on after food has run out
It is a strong army
It is more faithful than a brotherhood oath

But alas more temperamental than a stormy night
Fragile than a candle lit on a windy day
Or a newly formed flower
Slow coming like spring in the middle of winter
Chocked by the slightest of action
Dies just as quickly as it begins
