At the Altar of Aphrodite.

Thunder and Lightning all around,
Was that a tumultuous day.
It was the Compliments day,
Around 15th century,
When the people all over Florence,
Expressed their heartiest
Complements to their love!

Like the fluttering hummingbird,
Restless in mid air,
In trance of the sweetness of being in love,
Sinking in the taste of the intoxicating nectar
Of his beloved flower,
Each lover was busy,
Cherishing the blessings of his love,
Creating music and songs,
As an ode to his damsel delight!

Walked Simoni  along the long winding path uphill,
To the Altar of Aphrodite.
Sat by the side of the Rock – Cold, White and Shiny,
Sang Simoni –

Tempted I too to shower on u
Complements loads
On your angelic beauty
Your Most Beautiful Eyes
And your Amorous Flamboyance.

But when I think deep into
Your intoxicating presence
Both in person and in spirit
Forced I am to acknowledge
That special thing beyond your physical charm.
That aspect of yourself which is divine
That is immortal.
That source of the Ethereal Attraction!

Yes I know the essence is beyond
Those Most Beautiful Eyes.
The Essence is in part in the guild of
Creativity, Passion, Compassion, Care, Affection
Inspiration, Aspiration, An enlivening dream!
That unalterable will, Fearless glance,
That unfaltering Commitment to Perfection,
That strong and steady stand,
That feeling of eternal bond!

A Symbolic Instance of all that is Beautiful,
You stand,
For all those godly showers of blessings,
You bring to the earthly world of mortals,
Being that channel divine,
Of the dew of blessings of love from
The distant hallowed lands Of the Gods!

Here I compliment you the Lady with Light,
For some you are Venus, for some Aphrodite!
But for me you are the fairy damsel,
Diffusing the music of love,
Into the being of the whole creation,
From the precinct of the Non Form!
