A Pact

Romantic Poetry

i made a pact with the sun
and with the stars
id be his venus
if he'd be my mars

hazel velvet eyes
wrapped round ivory soft thighs
id show him the world ( my soul )
if he'd show me no lies

luminous reflection upon
shadowy face
id reach down inside
and pull up my grace (and give up that place)

once padded and locked
shunned and ignored
the place where all
tender emotion is stored

no need for quick glimpses
to starved peeping toms
the soul, it rests easy
in the embrace that is strong
