Call of Cytherea

 

 

 

 the allure of Aphrodite's eye;
 dilated pupils
 masked by mixtures
 of paramour potions.

 the vexations of Venus,
 a lover's creed
 lying forgotten
 on a harlots floor;
 one night stands.

 lashes tangle
 over smoldering gazes
 that leak libations.
 he's drunk
 off her glances.

 the seductive scent
 of perfumed breezes;
 photo-shopped moments.

 a Siren's call,
 high-heeled shoes
 on linoleum floors.

 animalistic urges
 and primitive pigments.

    This is simply stunning! I love the wording and the strong images that change each time the poem is read. I read this three times and I seemed to find something new from this each time... I love it when a poem does that to me!

    I could just say how well written and amazing this is, but this is the best use of imagery I have ever read. I'd say more but I'm too amazed by this poem to think. Great work. Thanks for sharing
