Modern Goddess

Ancient God extended his hand towards this beauty, pulling her close unto him, moulding her voluminous figure with ample bosom into his embrace As his hands tried to memorize every inch of her small waist, to reluctantly travel upward to touch her flawless face He brushed aside a long dark wavy auburn lock that lit up beneath the sun's hot rays Her eyes, amazed him at the multitude of colored flakes that danced in them so bright Fire burned deep within them showing she had fight Yes Aphrodite would be envious of this beautiful breathtaking sight For where doeth this vision hail from Pure perfection t'was what she was A soft sigh escaped her pouty full lips tinted a deep red rose She had a small upturned nose and cheeks set high, soft but fierce tilted upward chin T'was her God-like beauty that had drawn him in Her accent perplexed him as her sultry seductive voice said "Alas I am but modern woman... our words don't even mix!" He leaned forward taking in her very scent to whisper in her ear.... "T'would be an easy fix..!" Ah to explore her curvaceous beauty he would most assuredly spend days Adonis then whispered "Fair Lady, pray tell, what is thy name...?" With just one word t'ween parted full lips "Helen....." t'was what came

I thought I had commented on this beauty. My mistake. Right off the top shelf, Brenda Lee! The inimitable Helen of Troy. Of course - who else but! :) john

Gorgeous poem, Brenda:-) I also wrote a poem referencing Helen of Troy. It's called "Your Face Could Launch A Thousand Ships", but your poem is better. Congratulations!
