Oh what wonder lay before my stare
such a gorgeous person to behold.
Every woman suddenly aware
of a righteous love which can't be sold.
A glimmer, a simple shine to see
yet complicated and so hard to read.
How could anyone not want to be
with someone like him. He is what I need.
A true beauty only the faithful
could possess lingers 'ever within,
even when every other is hateful
a real man gives not into their sin.
Author notes
Well my favorite poet is Lord Byron and I have my favorite poem by him on my author's page. He writes on the beauty of women, he writes on love, and even though he was weird his words are inspiring to me. Especially She Walks in Beauty. I love that poem.

I have personally never read Lord Byron, I have heard of him naturally, but never had the chance to read his works - I am deeply intrigued to do so now
This is beautiful and so well penned
Best of Luck

This is sooo good! I really liked it and understand it.
It seems to me that when a love is true someone tries to come between the lovers. Very nice.

Touching
"Even though he was weird." lol. Well, your poem certainly wouldn't apply to him (the last stanza especially) but I can see how this is similiar in style.
One typo I noticed. You had "with in" where it should be "within."
Really nice poem.
