Kiss Me, Love
Love, I’ve never known you to be as gorgeous
As you are in lying beside me sweetly,
At this very moment; and nothing other
Pleases me better…
Come and kiss me now, my beloved: tender
Touches take me, ravish me, make me breathless,
Eyes and lips embodying invitation!
Kiss me forever…
Note: I hope the subject matter isn't too racy; it seemed appropriate for a poem using a form Sappho used. I also wished to capture something of the fragmentary nature of much of her surviving work.
