The Cries of Adonis-W

I, Adonis, born out of an incest of father-daughter Semitic god, a hunter and a handsome man A god of vegetation, women’s laments “Adoniscries” Festivals on me in spring, mourning in autumn. Spending six months with favorite Aphrodite, The Goddess of love, beauty and sexual pleasure Born out of the churning and foaming of Severed genitals thrown into the ocean Loved by many of the gods and mortals But luckily I am her most favored one Spending six months with ill favored Persephone Queen of the dead, and the underworld, Pomegranate in hand, the goddess of harvest Father promising her in marriage with his brother Over-aged Goddess seduced me in under-age. I have heard about “the Adonis Complex” The main concern today of one’s body image A modern problem striking men of all age Ye, mortals! On the earth you have our replicas Adonises, Zeuses, Aphrodites and Persephones I’m not a god like Christ, Lord Krishna or Allah. Lead me kindly not to undeserved godliness Plead me not for my polygamy and incest Forbid don’t forget, you masters of words Bid me well with your thoughtful muse. ======================================= First Place Winner in CONTEST :"GLORY 'gods' (MEN ONLY ENTRIES) of Linda-Marie
