She was a numinous beauty
of eclectic ideals,
body tall and slender,
skin pale and smooth.
She was……
My work of art
She was everything
a fool could want for

and unfeeling
her body marble cold
She was held
aloft, aloof
from this world
Her eyes vacuous,
vapid, and gray.
But I liked her that way
She was My perfect perfidy,
My big ******* to the gods
She made me a faithless man
as I lost sight of all but her
of eclectic ideals,
body tall and slender,
skin pale and smooth.

This is a poem I wrote for english class. It wasn't originally supposed to be related to anything in particular, but as I was writing it, it grew to allude to the story of pygmalion and galatea, a greek myth.
