Goddess of Love

Asclepius 
Greek god  
one of medicine
cure this aching 
heart

With the medicine 
of love
Athena goddess 
of Greece
I call upon you
to ease the pain

Within heartbreak
like your 
sacrifical lamb
I lay  upon 
your altar
take me to 
the goddess 
of love

The cure
only remedy
through the sands 
of time
I call 
your name

Pausing
to say
I love you
the cure
to my heart
