Look at me, please.

 



  Haris Vlavianos poetry

AMORES XI
O Athena, let others chronicle your times.
The seas of Memnon
and rocks of Scythia
leave me cold.
Let Homer sing of Ilium
and of Ulysses' epic feats.
The sigh of a dove
will always be superior
to the goose's screeching.
I seek a crown to crush the body.
This is the glory I wish, no other.

My love is naked
and wants her beauty naked.
