Beloved!
…
Aphrodite leaves the battlefield
After devouring her latest lover
Not the last by any means
But even Goddess of love
Needs her rest
And beauty sleep.
…
“Goddesses do not sleep”
Interrupted a rude man in the
Temple of shadows and faces.
…
Aphrodite sought a cool shadow
Sought aphrodisiac thoughts
Temple stood in her way
Long forlorn shadow lured her in the
Temple, shadows and faces and a lonely
Man greeted her into the hollow of
Bare walls.
…
He sits
He meditates
He forgets
He notices her
He invites her to a communion
“Dalliance”, she asks
“Serious”, he replies
Explaining the tantric ways of
Dissolving into Gods.
She laughs.
…
Love doesn’t need communions or
Dissolving.
Love needs a presence out of the
Shadows
Living through the eyes of a
Beloved.
Are you a beloved?
