He stands tall, a statue, of marble stone
Michelangelo carved Carrara bone
Faded northern lights fill those darkened eyes
Watercolor painted gaze, cobalt skies
Lips of ripened fruit, slices plump and sweet
Kiss deep and true, no ocean could compete
Freckled arms, pale thighs, lions mane of hair
Soft voice, deep and smooth, tone an angels prayer
Gifted hands mend metal, precision’s son
Complex matter solved puzzle, mess undone
Genuine promise and vulnerable heart
Precious treasure, a regal Bonaparte
A man adored, nor royal or Greek heir
Captivating just the same, chosen pair
To be at my right hand, to guard my throne
Stable rock, handsome statue, marble stone
One to call my love, man to call my own
He stands strong, my statue, my marble stone
