Day 16 ~ Pursuing Aphrodite

Oh thou Chalice of Heaven, give me thy hand.

Thy feet are the petals of roses, as silent as swans they glide.

The music of angels plays with the sway of thy rounded hips

Thy navel is filled with honey, where thy belly dips.

Honeyed breath escapes from your parted lips.

Thy womb is a pleasant pasture, fertile and flowing with nectar,

I come as a humble servant begging to enter thy land.

I have journeyed many a mile. Thou art a work divine.

Do not make denial of he who worships thine every whim,

He who prays for the jewels of thine eyes to turn and shine upon him,

And the burning bow of your smile to bless him with one superior smirk.

 

 

 

Tomorrow – a rubaiyat

The stars of the heavens are clear and bright.
I stand here alone, looking up tonight.
The song of the nightingale fills my heart
Ecstatic soloist, brings sweet delight

A softened light shines from the crescent moon,
At dawn it lips the ocean in a swoon.
All night I watched awake, we are apart.
The treasured morning cannot come to soon.

The scent of roses fills the dawning air
As I walk out in peace without a care
Amidst this new-born darling of a day
Where all the fields are newly fresh and fair.

You bring a smile, a word, a tender glance.
Tomorrow’s here and all the world’s a dance.
The sky is blue, the clouds have cleared away
And I am dreaming in a golden trance
