*
Streaming dust specks of his aura left as evidence
A celestial being formed of stardust *
To adorn him any less of his scintillating charm,
his signature star walk, or shimmering trails,    *
I’d need to resign to an asylum to deny a twilight of stars
To beautify him further lacks only a gilded spark divine
Saline crystals

Halo over his head
He had piercing, fierce eyes
Had children, some unknown
Heralded much like Zeus,
He rode across the skies
Helios was a fierce competitor
Horae, goddess he wed.

On This Forever
David J Walker

On this today
I will live in
This Forever
As if
This forever 
	Has never 
Been lived before

Never is when
This today will end 
As if 
This sun will send
It’s rays

In a never-ending
Display
of brilliant light
There will be no night
Tonight

Nor twilight
No sunsets insight

I will ride with
	Helios’ horses
Dragging behind me
the Unconquered Sun

Conquered now and dressed 
In the rags

Hail My Helios

Bestow me with poetic quotient
Styling my verses just fragrant

Magnificent is Thy limitless aura
Making jubilant all fauna and flora

How the organisms find solace
In Thy company pretty flawless

Let me get the niche so awaited
To discharge my chore celebrated

Bless me with Thy affection cool
So no poison creates a whirlpool

Of mood swings due to hatred
Of folks’ malignant plans dreaded

Thus

Hail the Lord Helios

Where there is a will, there is a way.
Let’s bask in the Sun, come what may.

For Sun rays have the power to eliminate.
All the impurities and parasites ultimate.

And the Sun Lord being an eternal source.
Of energy, confidence and zeal with force.

The king of planets with special charm.
To keep all living beings fully warm.

Instils leadership qualities

Helios and the Tempest

"Helios and The Tempest"



...

full knowing his azures
she watches him rising
he sends sunlight 
to her windows
full knowing the thoughts
non-conditional behind
her shaded jades
what fresh hell is this
spring green now
becomes her dazzling day
he doesn't miss a trick
he sends golden smiles
they're forever in eclipse
when he is the sun
she is the moon 
day in day out 
they move like this

Premium MemberHymn To Helios


I wake this day knowing there
is no space between God and me.
Already, part of eternity's mantle!
Just to be myself, naturally.

Even though fear and doubt
may appear as clouds to delay 
or to stifle me.
Being fearlessly me, despite
opposition....
Was, and always will be, my
life's main concentration.

To please a group, to bow or
cow-tow,
Is a thing no poet nor human 
should do.
You are

Helios and Clytie

Sunflower, accursed,  to   stand   and   stare,  
And  Clytie was her  fair  begotten  name.
Cursed she was  to   gaze   into  the sun's  glare.

Leucothea was Helios'  lady   fair,
A  love  fallen  prey

The Odyssey Redux - Part Iv - Helios To Ithaca

So once again, with grim countenance, the ship sailed on with all bemoaning their woes
Till calm seas prevailed, with balmy sun, sweet zephyr song, they came to Helios' shores.
Helios, calm god of the day, smiled upon the lads, gave of his land free rein, but with a caveat-
Helios pride was his golden herd, indolent and

Anti-Irregular Ode To Helios

Mentally choking on paranoid covers,
No matter where I am, everything is next.
The corners leap out— one after another,
Trapping the resolve in its reckoning hex.
Unfolding like slabs of sidewalk before me,
Briskly walking through billows of fret,
A thousand eyes so brash and stormy;
The houses awry with windows in debt.
Turning my head would chisel the cracks;
For taking the

Helios, a Poem About My Car

I want to be with you all of the time.
I'll rub and caress you to keep that shine.
When I feel the aura of your bright glow,
Helios you're for me, I 'm certain, I know.

All day I dream to come home to you each night
to feel supple leather wings hold me tight.
Although you are mine, I

Farewell Helios

As I think of something to write I found myself floating in the wavy currents of my 
thoughts
I felt the cold wind embrace my whole being and made me shiver:

Summer is coming to its endas the clouds give birth to the vapor of rain,
Soon the once dry and craked visage of Gaea will be as

Helios

Have you come back?
Have you come back?
Please stay away.
I want everything to be okay.

Don't come back.
Please don't come back.
Please,for now,just let us be.
For this please don't hate me.

Don't hurt this.
Please,I beg of thee.
Just let it be.
