Eros Do Not Flee From Me - Part I
MY adventure began no less than upon this chilling night
when homes of many lower their shades and kill the light
As sullen souls lay down for bed and fall into their dreams
some common sense was telling me I ought to follow
but my heart stood firm and I; in place of fear!
While conviction – that solid and shiny compass
melt away the color pale and heavy fright
that night my plan was nothing more than this --
to find the house of EROS to cure my heart of alder blight
After Chaos, Gaia, and Tatarus he was born but for I --
as I for him this night – my ambition over fear
EROS, the God of Love and sexuality could show the path
for that enduring love of my bride to be – my writ of right
Nothing more to keep me still so I fled into the frozen hills
upon a whirlwind, yes me the mere mortal like EROS I sped
Beating glittering golden wings upon my hidden fear
Heavy a burden of knowing what must be – that fate of me
as my beast passed through the mist and soared in height
She bravely carried on across barren wasteland and icy bog
as sad and frozen waters gravely sang to me CHAOS
and my eyes were slightly hidden – Monmouth and fear
And it seemed to me that humanity might have just begun
as we moved by wood and sullen hill – surging forth in might
Oh! Pity us as EROS must feel the greater --
that his bride was no less than CHAOS
Soon I came upon a chasm which has no name but keeps a flame
the light of Luna burned – to see the truth of life this night
The dance of light upon the night stirred a feeling within my soul
Soothing my beast I released the burden of my weight
and there she fled into the night like burning crystal – who eased my fear
And within the gapping chasm of this slightly twisted gash of soil
I faced my future fate by gently carefully moving forward into that dim light
And into the night like oil each footstep soaked inside my soul
the fear within this slice of time grabbing my throat so fierce
and I, like EROS, felt as one with love, less that burning fear
