Aphrodite's Petition to Regain Adonis



Oh Adorable Zeus, hear Aphrodite's petition to regain Adonis!



I, the goddess of love & beauty, will

Make sure to the fullest that no one can kill

The charming Adonis who makes me feel

Great beyond any ****** that's real



Oh Adorable Zeus, hear Aphrodite's petition to regain Adonis!



I, as the discoverer of this beautiful creature so rare

Is the first beholder of his countenance so fair

It is I who granted him the first unmatched care

The kind of caress he will acquire only in my lair



Oh Adorable Zeus, hear Aphrodite's petition to regain Adonis!



His refuge in me never has the stench of death

It's just like everyday he experiences rebirth

‘Coz there I can render him the greatest of health

Beauty & youth of flesh beyond any mirth



Oh Adorable Zeus, hear Aphrodite's petition to regain Adonis!



Be vigilant towards the welfare of Adonis, my delight

His bulging muscles are proofs of his radiant might

So alluring to any mortal & immortal sight

No one can also equal his handsome face so bright



Oh Adorable Zeus, hear Aphrodite's petition to regain Adonis!



That beauty of his can only be cherished

In my realm where beauty never goes blemished

The place that all mortals have ever wished

There the bright sun will keep his body nourished



Oh Adorable Zeus, hear Aphrodite's petition to regain Adonis!



Adonis' beauty is not fit for the home of the dead

He is so vibrant from foot to head

Remove him from Hades! To my haven, instead!

There he will be nourished by life-giving bread!
