The fires of Eros
sang wearily
Gentle tongues of flames
flicks at the altar
the petals of roses heated
In veiled scalded scents
lightly drapes the priestess
A gentle tug at her harp
Humming, a heart wrenching
lament to the heavens
Her nymphs
In pure uncovered purity
a noble mockery of lust
Nakedness untouched
beyond mortal corruption
In one woeful voice
shudders the temple
Beyond the shadows
Hopelessly infatuated fools
Leaps and dance
in pretended blindness
Languishing on the lips of cliffs
Littered with lost hearts
Abandoned with carelessness
claimed to have been stolen
The Wretched liars
Pounding hollow sounding bleeding chests
Wailing in pitiful mournful sorrow
Dares accuse Venus
The fires of Eros
sang quietly
Sensous tongues of flames
Lights and catches lust in wayward hearts
Eyes dulled to cursed reason
to love in blinding blindness
The priestess strokes at her harp
Enchantment reverberate in hollow chambers
Resurrect lust disguised
Exposing the unworthy
To dance to symphonic silence
To leap off the edge of reason
The flames of Eros
Whispers gently
to the heavens
A rueful lament of
The priestess
