A day Dream
In my minds eye you match the goddess Aphrodite,
And I envy a man who
sits facing you-any man whatever-
listening from close by to the sweetness of your
voice as you talk, Thinking of-
The-
The sweetness of your laughter: yes, that-I swear it-
sets the heart to shaking inside my breast, since
once I look at you for a moment, I can't
speak any longer,
but my tongue breaks down, and then all at once a
subtle fire races inside my skin, my
eyes can't see a thing and a whirring whistle
thrums at my hearing,
cold sweat covers me and a trembling takes
a hold of me all over: I'm greener than the
grass is and appear to myself to be little
short of dying.
And to think I’m only a few hours away from all these sensations
Just one touch and then if I survive the internal fire of desire
A gentle loving Kiss
