Aphrodite ?
Women be their own worst critics
almost perfect, never finished
correct every flaw and blemish
augmentation in the clinic
Artist's see what they should be
in the light that falls
stroke them in a perfect form
visions for perpetuity
As a man, I see outlined a halo
humanity's goddess of perfection
shadows on the shower curtain
curves just like a well played cello
Flattery that does not pose
in that undress, each pert exposed
to countenance a centrefold
perfect nakedness that few behold
The backlit form upon the drapes
peach of youth that glows so bold
mind alight, plush velvet sheen unfold
lithe limbs profiled in stark delight
Carved from base metal into pearls
exquisite form with no mistakes
for what was bound is now unfurled
so sweet, demure, so delicate
Marble carved and come to life
imperfections all without a blight
a specimen that stands uncaged
the bud to flower in a vase
And Michelangelo He'd seen
the inspiration of his dreams
and leave that form, his legacy
the art of perfect nudity
Wonderment that freedom breathes
almost perfect, never finished
correct every flaw and blemish
augmentation in the clinic
Artist's see what they should be
in the light that falls
stroke them in a perfect form
visions for perpetuity
As a man, I see outlined a halo
humanity's goddess of perfection
shadows on the shower curtain
curves just like a well played cello
Flattery that does not pose
in that undress, each pert exposed
to countenance a centrefold
perfect nakedness that few behold
The backlit form upon the drapes
peach of youth that glows so bold
mind alight, plush velvet sheen unfold
lithe limbs profiled in stark delight
Carved from base metal into pearls
exquisite form with no mistakes
for what was bound is now unfurled
so sweet, demure, so delicate
Marble carved and come to life
imperfections all without a blight
a specimen that stands uncaged

the inspiration of his dreams
and leave that form, his legacy

Wonderment that freedom breathes
