To the Unseen Beauty Still Beloved

Though I've yet to gaze on your unseen face,
     or hear the sound of your imagined voice,
a tryst with you is what I most embrace, 
     tho' circumstance leaves us without much choice.   
But ne'er discouraged, I form an image 
     (of you)—a sparkling vision of snow-white
and gold: you're etched in resplendent carriage,
     and luminous, blonde halo that's sun-bright. 
Moved and overjoyed by the thought of you,
     I'd circumnavigate both space and time  
to have you in my orbit and my view: 
     no greater love's for you but in my rhyme!
Therefore, beloved, we'll tarry just in this, 
that soon we'll realize our united bliss.
