Signs When we were brash of heart and full of play, embracing by the lake, svelte swans glided close to shore. Sensual scenes confided in earthy words, with kinky toys held sway - Myth’s lovers shrugged off portents of bleak fate: Leda’s raunchy trysts with Swan’s beak untrue! We missed the relished lane that leads anew to fancied nuptial chains we claimed could wait. Today I brawl beside the loathsome lake and trace a humbled heart with bloodstone dew on mirrored heavens… - entranced, hope renews, but drifts embodied in the knave swans’ wake. Old sylphine chants inform my soul that you in faith will not reverse my contrite state.

Hi Sylvia;
I'll need to return to your poem in a while. Totally out of time, but I do want to add a bit more to my previous as I find a quiet moment in the course of this day. What I meant by my comment (rings a bell) is simply that several artist have depicted the swan (naughty Zeus) penetrating Leah with his beak, and I remembered Cellini's medallion; therefore my comment. I'll be back.  Take care,Jerry |

Hi Jerry! I'm trying to catch up on comments made long ago and not acknowledged. Please forgive. Well, yes, I certainly did bear in mind that several artists depicted the swan (Zeus in disguise), penetrating Leda with his beak. Fact is, I uploaded Leonardo's respectable representation so as not to break any "decency rules" that might prevail on this site.  Can you imagine if we were to upload some ancient Greek sculptures?! Porn has been around, sometimes in highly artistic ways, since...forever! Must read up some more. You've written such interesting comments, Jerry, and I feel bad about not having answered sooner. Cheers, Syl***  QUOTE (jerryk @ May 4 14, 12:04 )  Hi Sylvia; I'll need to return to your poem in a while.
