Rebirth of Aphrodite

by Cooper   Nov 15, 2006


Aphrodite,
Oh Goddess of slaying beauty.
I espied a gleam of shattered delight,
and you stormed,
Stormed so gracefully,
into my dreams of the hollow tonight.

Your white lady wings,
and long aureate strands of lace,
Like Heaven's choir it sings,
from deep pooled trills of your laughter,
a euphonious voice I remember everafter.

Moons no longer cry
in the reaper's dead, silent night
When your harmony screams like Valentine's light.
Sheet less beds would ever hold, a passionate sigh,
beds that wish for your slender skin,
A pleasant touch, rather my broken violin.

On a throne of delicacy,
gloriously attuned to your crystal eyes.
My sight reveals through your disguise,
a Goddess, beautiful and ever mighty,
The arch-angel of glowing mirrors,
You are the rebirth of Aphrodite.

And I will never stop,
never let my eyes drop,
Those always amazed, always dazed,
speaking words my tongue can not pronounce,
Bitten back by love-curses every ounce,
It's my heart from the dead, you raised

***I wrote this about I girl I really like. I find her very beautiful, and so I spawned this poem from my mind one day I had spent thinking about her. But I don't think even Aphrodite surpasses this lady***

  • I am so going to cry. You wrote this about a girl you really liked and if any guy ever wrote a poem (any poem!) like this to me I would probably cry my eyes out. Hmm...she must be very pretty for Aphrodite is one of my favorite Goddess'. I applaud and your flow is great in all your poems. I can't offer like, ya know, very good compliments for *shrugs* I dunno. That was a major stupid sentence but all your poems touch me and god! I can't stop reading now. damn
    Well,

    I can't even BEGIN to describe what I love about this poem! Your style, vocabulary, imagery and manipulation of language: all FANTASTIC. This is the first poem of yours I have read, and you're already on my favourites. I'm off to read more, and again, well done!

    P.S. About “Éternité amère-doucer”, I wrote it as more of a narrative, no flow was intended. And I am flattered that you liked it. ^.^
