Sonnet for Aphrodite

(Note: This is not a TRUE sonnet since it doesn't follow the iambic pentameter)

How fair are you Aphrodite, fair rose?

I rejoice in your presence great goddess

For your gifts provide, in this world, repose

They give man the greatest joy, true goodness

And through you we come to know great pleasure 

Through you we are graced with the purest love

As our lovers consume all our leisure 

Let your beauty consume us from above

Let our souls rise as you rose from the foam

Unique, renewed, and knowing grand purpose 

Let our hearts be for love like fertile loam 

For men and women you are an axis

All of humanity longs for your gifts

To you, I and they and she and he drifts
