Psapfo 301

Your breast pierced
By Love’s venomous
Iniquity

Beautiful adept
Of Olympus
Bestower of mysteries

Adonis the maid-faced
Weep at the wealth
Placed upon his eyes

Men were born
To squander
Your gifts

This piem

A poignant and thought-provoking piece. Indeed, the tone is melancholic!

Many men have fallen under the spell of beauty and desire.

Well scripted.
