I am blown away. Calling this beautiful seems so paltry an offering I won't even dare say it.

Lovely.

I can only look at this as... old school romance. :D the words are lovely and detailed and delicious and faraway-perfection. I love the imagery.

There is, I think, a lot to do with poetry coming from myth.

However, I liked this poem because I can relate to it, and because I'm charged with hormones right now, and because I like the idea of a strong man.

I'll read more by you later, hopefully, and review it. Good job with this.

Beautiful diction, well thought-out imagery.

this is gorgeous. very intelligent and beautiful imagery. i love it.

I think that I died and went to the Underworld and the Muses graced me with this immaculate perfection. Enough said, really. (You forgot about Persephone! Heh.)

YOU POSTED AGAIN. let me rave about this, because your poems are nothing less than rave-able in a good way: Camille, you seem to put so much thought into your words. Oh man. Very beautiful, very stunning. I loved the lines "O Ares, sweet Ares, take this limp Aphrodite in granite-lined hands." :D divinity, achieved!

very very well written. it sounds older and has wonderful mythical references. great job.
