    ambrosia and nectar

     I ache for your presence 
    My heart is warmed by your name in my thoughts 
    You tease me with gifts from another world 
    Inviting me in 
    Feeding me 
    Ambrosia and nectar of the gods 
    I taste the sweetness of confusion 
    Just brushing the tip of my tongue 
    Before dissolving and changing me 
    Forever 
    You hold me close 
    Whispering small nothings 
    Delicate songs 
    Ringing in my ears like golden bells 
    I am under your spell 
    I am yours 
    But you are hardly mine 
    For what is a mere mortal to a god 
    I open my eyes 
    Staring back is a boy 
    No god 
    No ambrosia or nectar 
    He pulls me close to him 
    Comfort overcomes me 
    We dance. 
    He is mine. 
    If only for a moment.♥

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
