Aphrodite's Tears - Lament For Amberosia

Never intended to cause pain
verklempt knowing my words brought tears
such sadness I wish I could wane
and quell any and all your fears

Tried to build up a pedestal
whence a Goddess - you - can have rule
never fathomed you'd be dismal
now I'm feeling like a fat mule

Could I possibly be so dumb
to think that this could not occur
that result has left me so numb
both my heart and brain can concur

What made me think - at twice your age
that my words would so flatter you
alas, I am no such great mage
the day I wrote those words I rue

Melancholia has begun
I'm not able to raise my face
'til beams shine again from your sun
and I chained in my evil place

Phil Capitano January 6, 2017 at 7:58 AM Building pedestals is dangerous to your health...I know this to be true. Well written keith. Keith Osborne January 6, 2017 at 3:31 PM Hindsight is always 20/20 isn't it? Thank you Phil, I appreciate your comment. I had written 'Amber'osia prior to this. Upon witnessing the effect it had upon her, Aphrodite's Tears was my reaction. Things were somewhat misunderstood, but things are copacetic now. I do have 'Amber'osia posted (that is how it is supposed to be titled but since they don't allow "special characters" we can't be creative with our titles).
