Étoilé
(Starlight)

Thy beauty shines among the stars
You appear sparklingly radiant
Lustrously perfect hair
Eyes deep with mystery
Lips captivating with gracious smile
Exotically curvaceous your body inviting
For you are the true embodiment of love
Of all that any mortal can hope and wish for
La Femme d'Étoilé were I by pure chance
Be fortunate enough to encounter you
There is nothing I would not try to do
To earn your trust, your love
The reflection of starlight in your eyes
My unending bond to your heart
For ma chérie I must confess
That I love you so.
