beauty healthy happy

What do you think of my poem (second draft)?
Gentle Cynthia, kind beyond illusion,
Content without reward, intent not vain delusion,
Your disposition to painfully choose
To walk in everyone else’s shoes,
Leaves your aching heels without priority,
Treating yourself with inferiority,
Dismissing your anger, devoid of hate,
Withholding your spite from becoming too great.
Lovely Cynthia, timid from failure,
Tempered through sorrow, acceptance not sure,
I cannot fathom the refusal of others
To love a girl who treats them like brothers,
Never veil your true self in a disguise
And poison your sweet nature through lies.
With sincerity, I give you my heart,
Let it beat for you when yours falls apart.
Pretty Cynthia, please dread me not,
I dream of being your Lancelot,
Riding to sunset with you holding on tight,
Right through to the darkened beauty of night.
But alone, with my armor gone, my pride is weak,
No helmet to hide any reddened cheek,
Warmed by soft sheets, illuminated by faint moon,
We caress and kiss and cuddle to noon.
Oh dear sweet Cynthia, I'm sure you’ve long knew,
How heavily my heart beats for you.
I sigh at my longings, wishing so dear
That toward you I could relinquish my fear,
I hold such admiration for all you are,
You glisten more luminously than any night star,
Beautiful to sight, endearing through deed,
Acceptance and care from me, guaranteed.
Where do you think it could use improvement?

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Very good. I mean exceedingly good. And I am a very picky person. Just one thing: Add the word "the" before the word "sea" in your poem's second line. Write "eyes darker then the sea,"
Wow if this Cynthia is a real person she has a real hold over you huh, lol? Anyways I loved the line " With sincerity, I give you my heart Let it beat for you when yours falls apart" Just brilliant. I do however not like the whole prince part I feel its overdone and although this is the first poem of yours I read I feel you could do so much better than that.
