A Lifeless Statue

Layered in alabaster white
Was this vision before me.
Carved by a master craftsman
Each detail of her body perfection.
Moonlight enhanced this delicate beauty,
Mesmerizing me with its glow.
As I gazed upon her face,
I saw an emptiness in her eyes.
How sad was this lifeless statue
With a forlorn look on her face.
With all the beauty a sculpture could give her,
Was left without a heart to bring her life.
As I gazed upon her intently,
I saw life sparkle in her eyes.
She moved with a graceful manner,
Now a human entity came before me.
How could I not resist her charms,
As I drew her close to me.
I felt the warmth of her body
As she was now a part of me.
When I awakened at the light of dawn.
There stood that statue smiling.
No longer sadness on her face,
But a contented look of joy.
