Is it the attraction of power
that leads me in my quest
for strength from women
such as Aphrodite

while learning from
sunlit goddesses
of the Amazon
who savor their prowess
wielding their seduction,
leaving men hopeless
in paths of destruction.

What man does not cleave
to the breast of Eve,
hopelessly captive,
while being held
captive unknowingly..

Do I seek
because I am weak
or only so that I might find
what already lies dormant
beneath, and below
like the Atlantans
remaining hidden
in depths unknown

but today, I am tired
and I am weary

Would Morpheus then cradle me
in clouds of sleep?

Perhaps, the chariots of the Gods
would pick me up,
wisp me into the heavens
and allow sweet rest upon
the clouds of Mount Olympus
so that I might this day
look down upon the valleys

and with contentment,
smile, with sigh.

(with a special thank you to the lady kate...)

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

hopelessly captive”

Donna,

Ah ....yes contentment is something that we all desperately seek, but more often find elusive.

Beautifully written verse!

"Savor their prowess
    Welding their seduction
       leaving men helpless
          in paths of destruction"

Very powerful imagery that jumps out and demands attention.

  Most enjoyable read. Thank you.
