REPLY FOR A GODDESS

By Lawrence R. Berger

You offer me a treasure

far beyond the dreams

of mortal men

And just one single night with you

would satisfy the eternal lust of Zeus himself

Ah but alas i am only a man

With naught but human emotions

Frailties

And I couldn't possibly worship you as you truly deserve

for I am but a mere mortal

and I have no powers to grant

All i have to offer you would be my heart

Ah but then again tell me please how can i give you

that which you already own?

(c) 1999 Lawrence R. Berger First published in Instant poetry (just add words!)
