Su Ar Poet Free verse

Love Is Futile, Love Is Everything

I pull...tear my heartstrings
Rip and maul like a wild beast
Why, oh why do I do this 
Why does love never stay
I treat love so divine
I give the elusive goddess the sweetest creams
The ripest fruits and the clearest waters
All my longing is hers
All my songs and poems and sonnets
I write and write and write and yet it is futile
How much does this cruel goddess want
Aphrodite, I yell, 
Aphrodite, I scream
Aphrodite, I howl, I bark, and cry, and whisper, and croon

And I kneel and say,
Aphrodite
