Delicately beautiful, she strolled through my space,

Interrupting my work, disrupting my pace.

Sensualities rose to fluster my mind,

Tantalizing my body and

Rerouting my time. ~~~~

Aphrodite, my lover, my goddess of bliss,

Cythera of Cyprus, I long for her kiss.

Time escapes, I’ve abandoned my tasks,

In her arms, caresses, and

Opulence bask. ~~~~

Notice from boss; “You’re fired.”

    🌙✨ Good night, my dear… The name of the night is to find you in the moonlight… Sleep comes, but you come first in dreams. Your name is always in prayers and supplications. Be well… Shine like the stars in the night sky in your heart.

    Hello, there! I would like to invite you to check and share your thoughts on my latest article entitled "God Ra vs. God AMON." In this piece, I study one of the most captivating mythological themes - the conflict and the interaction between two powerful gods of ancient Egyptian pantheon. If you are a fan of mythology, fiction or just enjoy a good story, I believe this article will attract your interest. I would like to hear any reviews, ideas or comments! Here is the link to the article: https://shopping-feedback.today/fiction/god-ra-vs-god-amon%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E Thank you in advance for your support and time!

    This...is spectacular. All that beautiful language you used in the beginning and the way you swept us all away with your brilliant use of words, only to dump us with that kicker of a twist at the end. I certainly was distracted enough that I didn't see it coming. Well done on a thoroughly deserved Top Story!

  • Ranjan Baral3 years ago

    Good one:)

  • Absolutely brilliant! You evoked a very intense feeling of love and romantic sensibilities with the hard hitting dose of reality in the end! Excellent job ♥️Congratulations on your top story

  • Ahh I loved it! It was so visual and amazing and wonderfully done… and then the little twist at the end. That’s what happens with distraction! Great work!
