Erato the Goddess

Derived from "Eros" the Greek muse 
Bring me the words to form and infuse 
Your name is has been known as lovely
Shine on me privately  
Love of life 
Bring onto me nightlife 
Of erotic pleasure 
And poetry treasures 
From your Greek Gods 
And passionate lords 
I write the words 
That fly like the birds 
As a pair 
Lovers untangled the lustful flare
And Zeus your  statue faces me 
God of daylight 
Pointing to the sea 
Writing lyrics that sigh and jive 
Helping with words I can contrive 
Erato you wear a wreath of roses 
White and myrtle 
Playing music of love so 
Fertile
