I Remember the Parthenon

A day of reflection has joined me now,

Into the pyres of days long gone,

Alone to withdraw, to remember it all

I remember:       

Ambrosia

Sweet apple mead

Festivity

Debauchery

All those Dionysian days ago

I recall:

Disagreements

Fists of Lead

Battles

War

The Aresian I thankfully outgrew

I dwell:

Seductive smiles

Time-ending spells  

Sweltering Flesh

Passion

Sweat

Scent of lust

         All the Aphrodite’s I used to know
