Prometheus Bound

Oh Gaia! 

Raiment of earth tones hath met her mighty 
Titan of Words! He decries the title of heathen, 
yet clamors for that elusive angelic female spirit 
 with a composite of erudite splendor.
 
Diffidence one of my key trademark characteristics. 
That circumspection in conjunction 
with nonestablishmentarian hirsute emblem 
upon this rather narrow head seems to set me apart 
from pack of *****Sapiens.
 
Come hither and yon most resplendent daughter of Zeus 
so we might cavort (with body, mind and spirit) NOT in 
heavenly vault of royal blue, but rather upon terrestrial (i.e. terra firma) tarmac.
 
Prithee tell this faux Dionysus that which harkens 
deep within the psyche and quickens the pulse. 
I could attempt to summon forth that animal, diurnal 
and seminal splendor that springs from latent mental and physical powers.
