Aphrodite

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!
