Description

The angel-liked male beauty.
Details: develv.deviantart.com/art/The-…
Art by Deva.

This beautiful poem about a Byzantine emperor's love to his precious eunuch was written by my friend from Russia Ilona, we roughly translated it. 

Your face is like a fragile rose,
And your body is white, like winter snow.
Oh my fair-haired angel,
May God prolong your glorious age!

You are shapely, soft and graceful,
And your temper is gentle, sweet and quiet.
I'm so in love with your beckoning gaze
And with the musk of your curls ...

Your stature is like a cypress,
And voice like trills of paradise birds.
I fell victim to the love of a whim
And spears of your velvet eyelashes.

Your gaze hurts more than a dagger
Under the flexible string of eyebrows,
Digging in a poisonous sting,
Faster and sharper than arrows.

A calm and regal walk,
Ruby lips by cheeks roses ...
Ah, why everything is so difficult,
And you are so far from me?

My silver-faced and light-eyed,
My soul cries like a nightingale,
Because rose's color so cruel,
Has pierced it with thorn.

Open up the doors before me,
Accept me in your chamber!
Dear peri, why are you burning
My heart on the coals?

I'm waiting for you, oh my tormentor,
My relentless executioner.
That proud victor doesn't hears
The crying  of the unfortunate poet.

Be calm, o unrestrainable in love!
Modestly turn to your idol
And let your mind to be inspired,
To fly into the radiant height.

A beautiful painting - and those dress-folds on the bottom look great! And so does the background, and the shading. I saw that there is another deviation with some details - I will have a look at it in a minute ^^

This is a portrait of an angel’s soul!

He is so inexpressibly good, kind, sincere...

His refinement and softness are fascinating.

Such beauty and virtues could be praised only in poems.

The painting and the poem are worthy of admiration!

Sublime Art!

Thank you! Your words is very valuable for me!
I read descriptions of beautiful eunuchs of Byzantium, who were compared to heavenly angels, and I was so impressed that I painted this radiant and pure image. I experience a great spiritual uplift when I reading such descriptions, and embodying such beauty in the art. The eunuchs were called "earthly angels" and angels were called "heavenly eunuchs". (Macarius of Egypt describe that)
I could not find this text in English, so I'm sending Russian text.

"Есть при видимом дворце ромеев почетные мужи, далекие от всякого смятения и волнения, никем не принуждаемые ни к ношению оружия, ни к боевому строю, так называемые царские евнухи, уважаемые всеми людьми и любимые самим царем; им доверено носить кому порфиру, кому повязку, кому что другое драгоценное и царственное. И есть на небесах чтимые всевышним Царем мужи, истинные евнухи, оскопленные, очищенные вышедшие из битвы с грехом; им доверены отечества благословенные, полные мира и отдохновения, и дарованы царская порфира и небесные сокровища. Такие совершенно освобождаются от воинской службы и впредь живут в безмятежности."
