The Golden Prince

Fluid light
dances
reflecting
refracting
bouncing off beauty
like
blindness
of a clarifying sort
wind whips
around strength
buffering
over
the musculature
of the golden prince
mine
or only mine
as a beholder
of beauty
and
all that is good
shines forth
like radiance
and I am
warmed
by your golden glow
