lesbos

i. mnemonic reveries drift in the guise of legendry on melancholy wafts to the platonic nostalgia of the setting sun which tints the roaring sea in scarlet red, shining reflection of the transient illumination, gleaming lustre of hephaistos' fires in revering memory to aphrodite and the amazones. ii. golden shine the curves of barren hills along the shore as daylight flees swiftly to unsighted lands and darkness settles to caress the face of the earth with the fingertips of vibrant hands, ignite the spark that sets the night aglow which engulfs tides of ecstasy rising below. iii. through the darkness of the night, allied protector of unspoken truths, pierces the groaning sigh of unchartered seas as a thousand eyes gaze golden from cloudless skies down upon the forbidden sight which hides in wild commotion from the tarnished light to shell the brazen sands in enraptured bliss. iv. to the soft caress of the glimmering sea the seething shore sighs in treacherous hiss in anticipation of the simmering summernight's kiss as the ocean waves with floating tongues moisten the salty lips of impassioned seas wildly like the emotions unsettled beneath. v. lured by midnight murmur, milky foam rises to the crest of ecstatic ocean waves through which drifts within the bare chest the rhythmic palpitation of a heart that craves as the brooding summer air conveys through passionate gust a vociferous burst of amorous lust as the gleaming water flows along the shore of the isle of lesbos.
