Hi Poppytimetea, I moved this into mild. It needs a bit of work before its ready for serious. Here are some comments for you.

Like they where blessed with the grace of some infinite beauty,--don't settle for vague modifiers like infinite beauty. Think of Byron, "She walks in beauty like the night." See how that's more specific and more evocative.
I break in your absense,--vague needs a strong image. Absence
And fall in the divinity of ur presence,--again vague. Text speak undermines your credibility with the reader
Into bliss,
Away from pain,--bliss and pain are vague and abstract without an image
Into the loving arms of a perfect goddess.--loving arms is a bit ordinary and cliche. Perfect is vague without imagery focusing it.
