The Slave of Aphrodite

Malek Allari | Editor-in-Chief


I saw the brunette figure descending from her throne,

A bright light shone behind her,

The sound of spring echoed,

And the bells of heaven chiming in my ears.

Tears of my eyes disturbing my vision,

And happiness filled my heart.

The goddess of beauty joined my side,

Her soft lips touched mine,

And my dreams of success flashed before my eyes.

I went on my knees,

As Aphrodite tried to pull me up,

Her beauty and love filled my mind.

That is the story of

The Slave of Aphrodite.
