Love's Tapestry Redux

Perchance I will forego the flesh
Remaining in this ivory tower
My gaze steadfast upon the mirror
Content to continue my weaving
As the tapestry of our love grows
Accepting the beauty of the reflection
Accepting the fate of courtly love
A love so pure that it transcends the physical
And strives instead for a higher goal
For the ecstatic adoration of the the beloved
As the embodiment of perfection
As the inspiration that motivates
Nobility, spirituality and honor
As the font of happiness and fulfillment
