A Pantheon of Seduction (Redux)
As a naïve teenager
of unsullied Innocence
I was ruthlessly seduced
by a Grecian lover
who’s pagan charm
( of grievous bodily harm
to any a mere mortal )
all sensual and mysterious
was in truth impossible
for a curious youth
such as my good self
to ever resist
She of a higher power
from lofty Mount Olympus
the erotically reckless
exotic goddess … Aphrodite
Was it her insatiable desire
that so graciously
nearly killed me with her
all consuming divinity?
