Beauty fades but not my love

4 years 6 months and 15 days left Sonnet IV

You were born through Aphrodite’s hands with an angel smile

that would make a man such as me, wander upon deserts.

or  swim into heavy waves even if it will take me a thousand miles.

just to hold you close and together we will not part.

Your hair so brown should uncover your eyes like unveiling silk,

as it perfectly swifts, soundless with a warm windy breeze. 

and your skin pales with the likes of milk

glowing through the sun’s reflection as it tease me.

Though such beauty of yours will long be gone

skin ages, and hair turns gray

you’ll slow down with old crooked bones

and your beautiful curves won’t be there to stay.

But I will be there to see everything, so come what may, we shall forth

for growing old with you is something worth waiting for.

Impressive! It has been a while since I heard anyone reference to Aphrodite, Venus seems to be the choice of modern poets. I personally like your choice of Aphrodite and from your powers of description you make me think her reborn. I have a question, thought it may sound a bit selfish but does she have a much older sister :~)
Standing Ovation! Clap! Clap!

hahahahhaha oh my she has, though she's happily married :D hahahahaha
Read few Roman myths I would prefer Greek as personal choice, I don't know probably cause they have set beauty as a standard? Through there exaggeration of their realistic sculptures? but anyway Roman and Greeks describes their counterparts very well but again Greeks always my personal choice.
