Odysseus

Loves journey is fraught with peril and storm.

I am consumed,

wrapped in thoughts sublime,

constant she is on my mind.

 

This prison gladly entered,

a calf to the slaughter,

smiling sweetly.

 

What is the power she holds?

How is it possible?

I withstood all other forces.

I am conquered with seduction's stare?

 

I am hers,

no longer can I return,

for the man I was has perished.

 

I am her Lotus eater,

there is no Ithaca to return to,

only her eyes,

her gentle embrace,

she is my country,

fragrant lands plentiful,

I will harvest her bounty,

delight in her beauty.

 

Author's Note

Is it love? Is it lust? Maybe both.....

Anything is possible -

It sounds like her beauty has you captivated. She's captured your heart.
You're floating through the clouds because of her.

Love will do that . .

This is beautiful in every way.

Sometimes our love for another is so strong that we will endure any hardship of the heart to keep that love alive.

[Dave W.]

Love is a very powerful force

[JessyJacob]

How does it matter, if there is love there is lust too. Why to differentiate as both go together.

Its well written thoughts not looking like erotuc but love.


You are writer
