She lied there breathless almost, blushed and bare, For whom a statue I was, designed to stare At those light eyes, pale skin, golden hair Speechless I was, wanting much to declare. Yet I, though mere, to this goddess aspired I took by cunning theft her soft breaths with Love's fires That burned and took her air, yet fueled newer desires And incited pleasure, till she from passion retired And not immortal time or anything heaven sent Could some guilt evoke in me, or cause me to repent Of my lustful theft, for which my deity gave consent Lying there so calmed of a passion fueled and spent!

The Thief and the Goddess
She lied there breathless almost, blushed and bare, For whom a statue I was, designed to stare At those light eyes, pale skin, golden hair Speechless I was, wanting much to declare. Yet I, though mere, to this goddess aspired I took by cunning theft her soft breaths with Love's fires That burned and took her air, yet fueled newer desires And incited pleasure, till she from passion retired And not immortal time or anything heaven sent Could some guilt evoke in me, or cause me to repent Of my lustful theft, for which my deity gave consent Lying there so calmed of a passion fueled and spent!
I stole her breath
