caressed together by the waters of Corinth
inside the darkest forests chasing statuary nymphs
the decadence of Hellenistic love
blissfully raining laughter from above
“the condo of the virgin” sitting empty
the goddess long dissolved into the néant
you softly reading Hebrew texts in Greek
the painful comedy of life on sale this week

Great way to spend my Sunday morning…beautiful G.
Thank you so much, Ash. I hope you are doing well.
Doing great, thanks for asking. Wishing the smae for you!!!
Glad you hear. Thank you, Ash!!!
Wow – seems so exotic – you transposed me to a different world –
Aw.. that’s my designed task 🙂 Thank you so much Shantanu. I hope yesterday was a good day.
My absolute pleasure. It was a great outing. I judged two rounds.
Good for you. You deserve a good rest 🙂

Hellenistic Reverie gets more so with each read – you had fun with this, G!
Thank you, Eric. I did. I still do. Hope your Sunday is going well.
Good morning,
A wonderful verse to add beauty to this day. Again, you transport us with your words. You are so good at that. Enjoyed your choice of words (néant) too. And a most curious finale.
Always a pleasure to read your writing.
Good afternoon, Drew.
Thank you for reading and for your beautiful comment. I do not want to transport you anywhere 🙂 Stay where you are. You’re more than fine 🙂
Curious finale: yes, I think it sounds curious.
Have a great rest of the day, and thank you again for your kindness.
Yeah, it is beautiful here. But to transport the mind and soul that is refreshing.
Enjoy your day
😊

Your timing is impeccable.
Laughing so hard. I was just sitting by the pool replying to comments & admiring the palm trees. Sadly the rains arc coming so I had to run for cover.
But i do love the palm trees. They givde me peaceful vibes
Oh, it always rains live in Florida. I envy you. I miss those summer rains 🌂
And the sun is trying to peek out again.
I hope there are palm trees where you are
I am glad to hear that. There are. I have two in my front yard. But they struggle during the winter.
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon. Looking forward to your post 😊
Now I am full of envy.
Thanks

Thank you. So are you Charlie. May you be blessed forever.

I owe you a reply, Charlie. I will be getting to you soon. Sorry, I could not reply yesterday. I had a heavy day.
Not worries. Take your time. 🙂
I wrote you a reply. It’s so much to say about. I wish I could talk to you about 🙂
I received it. I replied back to you. 🙂
I’m putting you on a pedestal because of the beauty of your words always. You transport me to a place I have never been to. 😊❤️
Thank you so much, Winnie, you are so sweet. Know that your friendship and your appreciation means more than a pedestal. OK, if that pedestal is your friendship I’ll take it.
You’re welcome, dear G! I’m glad you consider me a friend. 😊❤️
I do my dear 🙂

Now, while I like the voice, I am curious about “chasing statuary nymphs.”
Oh, Mario, thank you for being here 🙂 I read several of your pieces and they are great. You got yourself a very faithful follower 🙂
I am reading yours. While, I may seem to critical, I am just questioning small things. Your great gift is to create places and times out of nothing. Where I was just thinking about my life, in just a few words, we see what you are telling us.
Mario, thank you for reading. I really appreciate that and as well as your kind words. I welcome criticism. I have no problem with that.
Aw.. wait: “Your great gift is to create places and times out of nothing. ” You just payed me a great compliment. Think about 🙂
Thank you!
Yes. Not only can you take criticism, which I hope is positive, but you do have this greater gift. You create worlds that are believable.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Mario. They mean a lot to me.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Gabriela
The images, the analogies and the allusions you use keep getting better with each write.
Thank you, Nitin. I truly appreciate your comment.
You’re welcome G!
