His words were passionate and debonair,
an erotic tribute to cherished love.
A sacred treasure trove of savior-faire,
with talent delivered from God above.
He wrote of tragedy and love affairs,
his voices cultured by circumstance.
Heroic sagas ripe with brutal war
and triumphant pleasures, of sweet romance.
Great adventures shrouded in mystery,
exciting journeys, to exotic shores.
A cavalcade of ancient history,
delivered with elegance and delight.
For his future poetic legacy
is measured in the wisdom that he writes.
