Aphrodite lost.
Opiate ashes.
Refugee eyes,
Israeli blue.
Auburn hair,
Softness shorn.
Nomad mind.
Reason rented.
Goddess of my love,
Prematurely ancient.
Pedestal paradox
Quietly crashing.

dominateme1over 16 years agoThe imagery of a tarnished idol is brilliant. This poem, in it's simplicity, speaks to the soul.
Angelinealmost 17 years agothat details the moment of seeing the tarnish on those we choose to idolize. Interesting read!
Your poem has been recommended in today's New Poems Reviews in the Poetry Feedback and Discussion Forum. Thanks for the read! :-)
Angeline
Tathagataalmost 17 years agothe simplicity of this, and the word choices, for the most part, let the reader create any kind of picture/ story they want.
The only thing I found out of place was
"Prematurely ancient"
I think a stronger phrase would tie this all up nicely.
Good work
