Analysis of You
Rudolph Valentino 1895 ( Guglielmi di Valentina d'Antonguella May 6, 1895Castellaneta, Apulia) – 1926 ( New York City)
Your Eyes
Mystic pools
Of beauteous light.
Golden brown
In color
Deep,
Yet, amber clear.
Unshadowed
By a frown,
Fathomless,
Whereign
My senses
Drown.
Your Eyes.
Your Lips,
Twin silken petals
Of a dewy rose.
Altar
Of the heart
Where love
Kindling desire
Worships unafraid.
Crucible
Of
Passion.
The rose in masquerade.
Your Lips.
Your Kiss,
A flame
Of Passion's fire
The sensitive Seal
Of Love
In the desire,
The fragrance
Of your Caress;
Alas,
At times
I find
Exquisite bitterness
In
Your Kiss.
