Poem
Aphrodite Deep in a quiet enclave In a secluded kingdom by the sea Set in the twentieth century Lived a wonderful child in a wonderful place And her name was Aphrodite Her eyes were silver grey And quite fair, blond hair was she Designed by angels, Made by God exquisitely And she did not know from heaven below That she was to be loved and loved by me Strong as a man but by her hands She was to bear my family tree Written in the stars and in heaven Cherubic child, beautiful smile She was to be loved and be loved by me The evil things that dwell in hell And Creep at night soundlessly Exist in this small enclave by the sea Then they spied with lidless eye And noticed my Aphrodite As time goes on her family moved From the quiet enclave by the sea In my wild imagination I saw her tomb from my little room For she died and she died to save me Alone at a desk with lighted lamp In this quiet kingdom by the sea I sit in the dark and read She embraces me in my day dreams Divine and lovely Aphrodite If there is a God and he visits This little kingdom by the sea Invited and boldly empowered Those unspeakable things and their rings Will be found and be bound by me Life goes on and it is late I live sequestered in another place Far from this sheltered enclave by the sea Once in a while she appears far away She waves and she beckons to me I fall deep into slumber and dream I truly do want to believe Aphrodite aside my bed whispers She smiles like a child and promises To be loved and be loved by me
