Poem
Down in the depths Of the old god sea The world was yet to see The love and beauty Of thee Proud and capricious What punishment Would be For such Vanity But marriage To the blacken forge Vulcan be It wasn’t hard for The brave and handsome Ares To fall in love with thee Under the stars With Venus an Mars They met at night But were betrayed By a sleeping sentinel Held down by chains The lovers be Mocked and spurned Until the cock crowed At dawn Young forever This Goddess from the sea She chose to love And love she did More than one By the sea But one she loved Was slain by a boar And she Slain by grief With grief not suited For one so young And beautiful She loved again And meddled in love Not hers to be She birthed many a God and hero And a wonky eyed archer Her descendants A senator That died With many a knife In his back ( Oh, how history repeats ) Now you may ask Why a poet From the land of Dreaming Would take on A Shakespearean quest To tell a poetic story Of Love and Beauty It just so happened She became aware Of a love greater than Any she had experienced That of Beauty and Truth Time and distance So one day in a city Between the dessert and the sea A wonky eyed Chubby archer Shot an arrow That missed it mark And hit my heart Making me fall Down to Earth And in love A tragic love With a descendant Of Aphrodite Whether it was a joke Or a Horrible mistake That arrow Bridged the old Gods To the new But as she well knows This is but just a brief Tragic moment of flesh Tide and time Will see that arrow Fall away Like a hand let go And set me free
