an 8 eight liner may be a short poem
but it's a tad longer than what's expected in the short form threads. [you can post such in the for fun forum or any of the other forums] thanks.
please don't be offended; the poem for me seems to be trying to be too hall mark. [cheesy] the beauty is as holiness killed me.

TO MY VALENTINE
Don't be a Saint for me tonight,
my almond tree -- although the night
between our naked bodies is as death,
and beauty is as holiness,
your rosy crown is no triumphal wreath,
and even God suffers unrest.
Until love pleases, let us sleep instead,
and let the cherubs sanctify our bed.
