Homage to Beauty

What homage shall I pay
     to a beauty built to last
from inside out, executing the blueprints
     of resistance and mercy
darting flashing eyes in soft face
     and clenched fists on hips?

What homage shall I pay
    to beauty insistent on truth
knows that two are not always one?
Beauty that won't deny
     is itself an eye
will not rest under contemplation.

What homage shall I pay
     to beauty at my side?
Your spirits' gaze impatient
     to mark the possible,
     to disregard the improbable,
     back arched to the sublime
- I speak of these now.
