no nymphs for me
only mature goddesses
have the right powers
-----
goddess loved poet
left heaven became his muse
once more immortal
-----
treat from her garden
ripe fruit heavy with its juice
dripping with sweetness
-----
words from eager pen
poetry written foreplay
to acts of reading
-----
your greatest lover
touches you only with words
that came from his heart
-----
each time you appear
i sigh with secret desire
love at least my words
-----
need no photograph
i've already seen your words
model for my own
-----
if you like my words
imagine what i don't say
when i think of you
-----
delta of desire
riverhead of needs and wants
soft warm paradise
-----
world-weary and sore
head upon your breast i rest
you speak words of peace
-----
perhaps you will dream
my love words pressed to your breast
open book of poems
-----
i dream you live with
the touch of my poetry
within your being
-----
before he could go
she brought to his attention
places left unkissed
