By Jove. 2014

 


a mere 3,000 years separate

his afternoon from mine

She laying in bed

 in that summer of heat

Loose gown white neck disguised

By where her hair falls

This girl, this woman,

The target of a thousand wooers

Among which I am one,

with the slightest touch

breasts pressed against my side

 so smooth her belly

how long her legs

 me clinging to her naked body

as he did back then

pleasing for a kiss

this afternoon of pure delight

with daylight through her windows

reveal all her words at night

that true promised

and I partake

 this precious gift

knowing it cannot last

 and I must take it

before the gods take it back
