Idyllic Pleasure
Idyllic Pleasure (Anacreontic Verse)
Laughter and delight
under a blue sky
on the verdant bank
of a bubbling stream
where luscious food
dulcet and divine
tempts taste buds
teeming with desire
while wine flows freely
like the roaming hands
and ardent kisses
of indulgent youths
lured by spring’s warmth
to an ebullient
effervescent mood
where inhibitions
slither unrestrained
in rumpled heaps
as latticed lacing
yields to deft touch
and the setting sun
shyly reticent
slides behind the hills
in a blushing haze
of purple and red.
