Let Not Eros Die

Let not this love fall into discontent,

Nor my eyes accustom to her allure.

Let not the sight of her cease wonderment,

Nor my passion bore with beauty demure.

Let not my lips stop quiv’ring for her kiss,

Nor my fingers ache for her velvet hair.

Let not my arms embrace with avarice,

Nor my desire leave anything to spare.

Let not her beauty ever be passé,

Nor my heart not yearn for her naked breast.

Let not making love miss a single day,

Nor lying beside her allow us rest.

Let not me take for granted her boudoir,

Nor my love for her wane even a bit.

Let not my lustful eyes ever look far,

Nor my body ablaze become unlit.
