Aphrodite
The water runs off my skin, dripping back into the rose-filled bath,
I smell of wildflowers and honey, my flesh shimmering with gold,
I stand before the mirror in all my glory, a towel draped comfortably
As I apply blush, tracing hearts on the apples of my cheeks as I grin
At myself.
The soft music flows around the room as the water drains,
Sounds of the ocean fill the room as I admire my pearl earrings.
I dip my brush into the iridescent powder, tapping off the excess in a
Waterfall of romance. The powder coats my eyelids, shining in the moonlight.
I pull the red dress on, I am powerful. I pull the gold chain around my neck,
Clasping it at the back lovingly. The chain holds a pale rose quartz, faded from countless days lazing under the summer sun, eating dark chocolate, and drinking wine in the name of Aphrodite.
