Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

Love Letter Ii

Oh Aphrodite, Goddess of love
For you, my heart yearns for Olympus on high
As my lover's eyes scan sunsets above
They pour love into the birth of a sigh
I'll follow the course of a lover's stream
To argue with Zeus over what is a sin
As we leave Olympus with love and a dream
Love will cause us to be mortal again
To make love's diamond from blackest coal
And scorch landscapes with smoldering desire
Yet, be the flames burning out of control
With mortal hands, we'll light the raging fire
Oh Aphrodite, Goddess of love
My heart will steal you from Olympus above

It is a beautiful letter, you lucky man - Aphrodite herself, every man is, I'm sure, quite pea green with envy. Lovely poem and I also applaud your imagination! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
