Daver Austin Poet Free verse

The Sibyl - Artemis

Some wildness runs in Artemis
As silver streaks in a jet of coal-black hair

This beauty    wrought to tempt a man
Is    by her lesbian air    a beauty wasted

Her eyes to thine reflect a dream
Where senses numb and leave the lips untasted

Corinne Curcio January 29, 2009 at 5:55 PM Oh - I couldn't disagree with you more - It certainly isn't "a beauty wasted" - I should know - It's a beauty appreciated
