PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We should all understand why you grieved for Antinous:

the Bithynian boy whose beauty was so obvious---

wuth a personality humble, vivacious, and courteous

(his soul and body both exquisitely amorous):

he nourished your love for him with his SweetSpray

(but old prudes' and haters' virulent prejudice

spilled his life out like a cracked bowl of broth).

By your dearest wish and imperial will, Antinous must be

celebrated in homogenic poetry:

he, whom Christ has received into Heaven's Eternity.
