Unknown Poetry (poetry is about seduction; I just want to communicate with the world)

former greek goddess

She was a

greek goddess

back in her day,

but now

everything seems lost

and with her withered face

it’s hard

to imagine

this once beautiful woman

had any type

of sexual prowess,

but it must be

the eyes

so tired of

holding up

bags of discontent,

yet whenever I see her

we smoke cigarettes

and laugh

but it’s never the same

because before,

I used to think

if I ever

saw her out

having a drink,

I’d walk right up

to that forty-nine year old beast

and with the

confidence of a matador

unfurl my cape

of seduction

if only for a poem

in the morning.
