I come to you on a bended knee
the queen on a king-less throne
adorned by tears, carved with pain
of lost years and days to forsake  
yet your figure breaks into a shimmer
like a golden sun laying to rest
on the azure ripples of an evening lake
and here I am ;a witness of a miracle
a slivered breadth away you stand
I reach for you,I find my self shivering
as a blind man half-cured of his affliction would
finally be able to see shades of light in greyish gloom ,
I trace you on a canvass of twilight and darkness 
a tableau vivant,you stand motionless
my eyes parched in hope of a glance;
for I seek what I can’t see;
choked by silence; lost in an unconstrued maze
 I gasp for breath; whilst half thoughts stifle a crawling pulse
As time follows behind in similar pace
 space compressed in a dimension; unravelled of shape
an apparition of words emerge in lieu;
Who art thou but a being from heaven
born among blessed mortals to grace this plane
by doing so to reveal the ignorance in men; his failure
to know of true beauty beyond compare
and to revere Creation; for such effortless perfection
is beyond mortals grasp; across the horizons of imagined reach
yet now, the least of your echoing afterglow
falls within the spectrum of common sight
blinding ones vision into tears; it compels ever so forceful
Behold!
For this is why there is the light to a day;
to which the sky begets a canvass
beguiling the ocean to a complexion,
and to drape the hills in autumns cloak
All but to frame the portrait that’s her
Behold!
Nature’s aspired symmetry; the ratio of poetry in art
the prism of lights in a cut diamond
The goddess of beauty ascended in mortals form
For she is the perfection; the reverie of beauty
Behold!
The purveyor of heavenly stars to a midsummers night
the herald of raindrops for springs blossom
The unfurling petals of winters scarlet rose
The vast blue sky breaking against the shores of twilight
Art thou goddess or mortal?

I like your poem a lot. Anakin, if you do read another poet, go for Robert Graves. He too was into Goddess worship.                 Elsie
