a kiss
a hand caressing the side of my face
the other gently on my hair
his breath
warm, it washes over my skin and lashes
his eyes, so striking i heat up and can’t help but look away
his smile, so precious my chest feels tighter
his soft lips on my ear, they warm up
he plays with my soft, inner thighs
sliding on the cloth between them
he goes under them and contact with his skin makes me fall
he catches me, the other arm wrapped on my waist
his lips still on my neck
O what ails me under these stars?
My breath fills my chest
Its escape seems strained
What has come over me?
Tell me, Aphrodite, is this your bidding?
I've heard the girls chat and giggle
Their faces burn, too
That, of course, when they ponder
One close to them
Here I find this courage
Just as Alexandros whisked what he coveted
And cared not for Ilion
When before I dared not make
Ripples on still waters
Here now I lay possessed
Days, and more nights haunted by one
