Aphrodite, the goddess of love
 Breathed a charm on my skin
  Telling it to feel like it was dancing
   When the one I love happened 
    Within sight, where I could embrace
     The sweet tenderness of his heart
      This feeling was a deep passion
        Leaving me with a feeling of allure
          The assurance that I was fertile
            Like a lush and abundant meadow
Rich in protein and vitamin extracts
 Alive with pure, potent abundance
  Never barren or lacking intimacy 
   Certainly not fearful with a cold timidity
    Always filled with insight, wisdom and hope
     That this moment would bring me
      Into the presence of sweet, tender ardor
       Beliefs that would take me leaping
        From worry and anxiety to pleasing poise
         The knowing that everything that comes
Within reach ~ love that is so sweet ~
 Arises from destiny’s promise to me
  To believe in the joy of a love that dwells
   Inside me and my adoring companion
    The one who has felt the effects of love
     Brought about by the goddess’ arrows
      Sent straight through my heart’s center
       Enlightening, igniting and inspiring
        With feelings and thoughts which color
          My entire world with embers of desire
Wanton need for the pleasure I seek
 When I feel close to this amazing person
  Who enriches my life with their presence
   And shoots stars of yearning warmth
    Through my body, my core, my depths
     Where every joy is abundant and fulfilling
      The craving for someone who feels devoted
       Who dreams and believes and cares for me
         The one who loves them without conditions
           And feels like giving without any strings
Feeling closer than a brother or mother
 Like intimacy has opened it’s whispery breath
  To murmur pure bliss through my breast
   Love like this knows no limits ~ it is completion!
