Statues

A silent cry for help,
The call of Venus.
Inside the waiting chamber,
The emptiness inside.

To feel the warmth,
The hands of a man.
On the curves that shape,
Nature's best piece.

The sleek, lithe body,
Made of fine clay,
So easy to hold,
The desire is too much.

The statue stands in the middle,
As men gaze at the molded shape,
Seeing through it.
Not understanding.

This statue, while beautiful,
Is more than a figure,
But no more than an idle,
Than the rest of those surrounding it.

Author notes

ummm...Let's just get it clear that I'm straight...and young and hopeless. Just a thought. (I have been watching WAY too much Secret Life of the American Teenager)FYI

Would this make a good song?
