A Perfect Woman

How many times have I tried in failed effort to deny the love I live in you 
How many times have I in desperate resolve tried  to walk away from this love which was born at the foundation of time ? 

Do you not see in me the raging torment of my soul as I struggle  in vain attempt to set aside a love which is forbidden by the laws of men..... and yet I can not deny it, I will not deny my love for you for to do so would deny my own breath, my own heartbeat, my very life.  I am but a mortal man,  powerless to escape that which is part of my being and you my love are my completing part. You are in me, my heart, my mind, my soul, my every fiber.  From the formation of this earth we were of one thought, one spirit, one hope and one path. 

What should have been, what is indeed, is withheld from me and I am unfulfilled and incomplete —- leading to my undoing. 
Though separated in the long ages of time the vail of  deception is past as now I see clearly we are to be one once more.  A more perfect woman I shall never know.
