@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Scribbles Once On A Wall In Pompeii, Not Long Before Mount Vesuvius Threw Up

Celadus' long-haired, adolescent male concubine

possesses a Beauty like the Heavens' design;

and Celadus, that great gladiator, weakens at the knees

when SoftPetal performs an evenings tease,

and offers his body that never fails to please.

Ignoring haters' and thugs' self-righteous pruderies,

reciprocating pleasure to SoftPetal

requires all of Celadus' mettle:

Love and Beauty are greater than arena braveries,

and only the Temple of Poetry's

most erotic verse can adequately declares those intimacies.
