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 3/23/18 contest Love Letter II

Awesome take on the challenge, Frederic! Aphrodite is the one that I bet comes into most men's heads! Maybe I will write of young Adonis!

Whoa - my first read for Viv's new contest and I loved it, loved who you choose - you aimed high!! 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
