Love Poem: Adonis and Aphrodite, Soul Partners

Adonis and Aphrodite, Soul Partners

God and goddess of love and beauty enlaced with aster in a satin sky, two hearts clenched forever as one in a lover's embrace Souls enraptured, desires of flesh ne'er to quench In a timeless tale, soul mates excavated Love at first sight conceived from his birth, her seed of passion was planted, babe cultivated 'til mature, his splendor became her heart's need The Garden of Adonis shall forever bloom with his beauty Near a flowing river, grows from bloodshed and nectar, red anemone He is fated to share his eternal love with Aphrodite of the sky Tempted from the heavens and underworld, their fervor shall not die Adonis and Aphrodite By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders for Soul Partners Contest (Nette Onclaud) * a rispetto ending in two couplets
