Literature Text

The sound of catamarans upon the foam,
the march of cavalry and weary knights
who lay their bodies down are coming home
to linens drying like a hundred kites;
if not for love, what force are sword and chain
that they may honor empires with their call,
if not for me, they all have died in vain
and made of Troy the laughingstock for all.
Indeed, your chamois shirts and littered socks,
the tender cartilage of tambourines,
unfinished wine, and little jew'llery box,
and dual hemispheres of nectarines—
belong to me alone in my design:
the air you breathe, your everything, is mine.
All poetry is love poetry.

Submitting to Wordsmith's-Guild, wordsmiths-guild.deviantart.co... for their contest on writing about a deity, wordsmiths-guild.deviantart.co....

This poem was really about a different side of love, a side that sometimes is easy to miss. Everything that we do and touch, that we feel and hear, that we fight for, is because we hold something or someone dear to us.

Aphrodite is the most well known symbol of love there is, and giving her a possessive tone conveys the idea that there is nothing apart from all that she stands for.
