Aphrodite's Children

A tear drop of land in an eternal sea waits for just the right footfalls to hideaway, to rest. Let the sky brown their skin, let the ocean narrate in the thunderclap of storms, let their love coalesce. Oh yes, they survived and marooned here they await solitude was their wish and Poseidon's bequest. Rolled in the sea's fecund foam, and tossed on the tide the children of Aphrodite in moonlight abide.

Okay, now that there, that up there, is gorgeous. I feel romanced to my toes. Sophisticated poem with language that skydives. Glad I went searching, hon. Cheers. Cyndi. PS- are there more procedures for you down the road? All okay? Cause I don't worry enough, you know. I always need something more to fret about ;-)
