Fleeing Nymphs and Yearning SatyrsA Poem by ArezzoYour fragrant, smooth, white flesh intoxicates my senses. Such cool curves! That tumbling hair! But when I grapple close, those carnal gates elude me. I’m embracing scented
air!
I’m strong, but you are nimble. There
you go, as light and limber as the April breeze, beyond my grasp -" my agile-footed doe, enticing tail half-seen through tangled trees.
How you can run! Whilst I,
half-blind with lust, lunge in your wake, you -" fleet, farouche and fey -" like insubstantial mist, evade my thrust! Just out of reach, those soft enticements play!
You torture me with longing. And
you flee because you know, this way you’ll capture me. © 2015 Arezzo |
