Naked

She was
naked
and lovely.
I could not tear
my eyes
off of her.
Passerby’s diverted
their gaze
Seemingly intent on
the tiles on the floor
rather than the
naked goddess
before them.
Her hair was
heavenly white
with tinges of silver
scattered delicately
throughout.
Her body was
round and full
with freckles gently
covering her cafe
colored skin.
She was poised,
and graceful
lying there.
The pool sparkled in
front of her
while bikinis and
speedos zipped by.
She noticed none of this.
In fact, it’s possible
she didn’t notice any
of us.
She was a goddess
and we were merely
lowly servants
scuttling
around her.
