Ares & Aphrodite
From the very moment my eyes beheld thee,
Full adorned, head to toe, with shells shimmering
Was when I first saw you rising from the sea
And yet, apparition of time glimmering,
You stepped from the surf and came naked to me,
I, whose darkly ephemeral murmuring
Would by exposure thus mockingly decree,
But it was you became my Aphrodite.
• Ares = God of War, and a lover to:
• Aphrodite = Goddess of Love
• Celebrated & worshiped by the ancient Greeks, and beyond.

Why thank you my friend, for the honor & for inspiring you to try this poetic form which is a fine little challenge. I’ll keep my eyes open on my updates for your first effort.

The Greek Gods are notoriously promiscuous and rather vain, yet you've made this love story seem pure and genuine.
Very nicely written!

Ahh darling Luna, how wonderful to be well-met on so many matters of poetic themes and their backstories on such stable ground while I as a poet have always had my head in the clouds off/times before I’ve caught myself in the act of writing
