Aphrodite
Aphrodite
The fugacious sun skims and courts celestial blue;
Vermillion arrayed lighter then darker fade;
Scarcely dressed, stretched a million themes,
Across the universe;
No time for life, no life to dream.
Unseen, she slips then flirts below, as darkness
Unfurls its wondrous beam, shimmering wavelets
Effortlessly, toward the sandless shore,
Where whispers a warm breeze.
Becalmed without lips, a lingering kiss upon my brow;
Eyes firmly closed, washes bare flesh pure
And seduces all that is unsure,
To touch, to kiss, to bathe in the beauty of her soul;
To love as Love was won,
from emptiness to nothingness ,
Retreats without words,
And so ebbs the flow of time.
In water writ her name in foam,
A love that was never mine.
