The exquisite evening
Draped in moonlight
Was perfect
For the festival of Diana.

She brought me wine
As the revelers sang
By the ecstatically laughing riverside.

On balconies,
Barely-clad girls
Danced to flicking candlelight
In bold aesthetic innocence.

There were offerings of sweet fruit
And fragrant flowers,
The girl I loved the most,
Her lips were tender
And her hair was wet
Caressing her shoulders
And inviting kisses.

I was in the hunt,
My prey, a woman’s eyes,
Mystical and alluring,
I was following them
Like an astrologer follows
Auspicious stars
Down along the seductive beach.

By the bon fire,
She asked me,
What was I staring at?
What was it I wanted?
What was it I needed?

I swam in those eyes
And smiled in her magical presence,
But this wasn’t the night to claim a goddess,
But I placed an amulet in her hand
And told her one day
I would have an answer for every question.
