First Line: Gongyla, I ask only
Last Line: Come soon
Subject(s): Aphrodite; Love - Erotic; Gays & Lesbians; Love; Mythology - Classical


Gongyla; I ask only
that you wear the cream
white dress when you come
Desire darts about your
loveliness, drawn down in
circling flight at sight of it
and I am glad, although
once I too quarrelled
with Aphrodite to whom
I pray that you will
come soon
