The essence of beauty

This is the essence of beauty.
Your golden hair flows through the air,
Your eyes light up the skies.
Your face is as fair as newly thread lace,
Your lips are like blooming tulips.
Your hands are the finest in all the lands,
Your skin, to touch, would be a sin.
Your feet are ever so sweet.
You are the essence of beauty.
