young desire

Young Desire.


The maid came out of the barn in
her strong hand she carried a ewer
of creamy milk, she offered it to
me, and I drank till un-thirsty.

She was a big woman, blond and
blue eyed, a Valkyrian, a servant
of Odin, I loved her madly with
all my, adolescent, heart.

Read a promise in her eyes, and in
the light hue of blush in her cheeks;
I just had to grow a bit taller and be
Her unafraid, heroic Viking
