Aphrodite, by Aimeé

Aphrodite

The infinite Uranus

Euphemism was tore

And thrown by god time

To the ocean’s core.

The turquoise effervescence

Emerged a giant shell

A pearl of perfect essence

Aphrodite the goddess belle.

Her skin of rose and myrtle

Hair of gold, eyes of sapphire

She loved the sea and conquered war

But condemned to tame the fire.

(2014)

Joyful Sin Come to me... tear my skin in piec… Warm my soul with your sweet kisse… Undress my spirit, make me cry, And take my essence to the sky.

Wet Stones Wet stones Humid pieces of time Piled up like fossilized bones. Covered in a rug of lime.

Breadcrumbs I loved you... I loved you and you threw me bread crumbs little pieces of nothing

We Are the Same Woman There’s an ocean between you and… An ocean of tears? Both are made of salty water And flow under the same sky.
