Olympiana
OLYMPIANA
Some can wear glasses
Some cannot
She was the latter type
Slender
Young
Brunette
With hair and skin fine enough for shoulder display
Graceful hands
The rest covered by winter dress
I couldn’t help but stare
Of this she was quite unaware
There is a type (I had in mind) for glasses
Slender
Young
Almost blond
With tragically short hair
Anything but liberated
Well she blew the image
Held my gaze in carnal vice
The male will fantasize invent shapes
touches aromas even tastes
She was beyond this somehow
I suppose it must have been Olympian
And there sat I in worshipful abeyance
MADDENING!
The placing of such a person seemingly has no reference
There sat I at foot of the peak
Transfixed!
When?
All at once!
She looked up!
This bucktoothy smile………..
And the rocks came tumbling down all round
