Music of the Lyre

If you say the music comes from the lyres,
Why is there no music from the lyre in case?
If you say the music is on the tips of fingers,
Why can’t you enjoy music at your finger base?
(Tran.)

Horae's Lyre

Making eternity
out of a moment
Escaping
the pretense of time
Beginnings
and endings
Falling away
in one enduring rhyme

Making eternity
bend to my will
An Angel
comes to dance
Wings on fire
Horae's lyre
The instant christened
—another chance

Erato
Each of the nine Muses
Endeavor to inspire.
Erato, lyre in hand,
Engages with men's minds,
Elegantly with words ...
Each phoneme, each pattern
Encourages lyrics.

Lyria the Lyre

I say to You,
“I will do whatever Thou hast me do.”
You reply,
“Daughter, love, I ask you die.”
And when I beg the reason why
My heart bleeding 
Lord, You cry,
“Eternity is yours!”
To my tired sigh.

“Fine,” I swear.
“Let them tear out my hair and throw stones.
You and I know nothing breaks these old bones.”

Ever since that day,
The pact that was made-
The sky hast been stormy
Uncertain and grey.
But Our love is infinite
So I’ll be okay.

Orpheus In The Undergrowth

"As the greatest of all poets and musicians, tho' you may call me 'liar', Hermes may have invented it but I perfected the lyre and with my music and singing if only I could see the forest for the trees I would coax the woods to dance for me but, on the other hand from where I stand, it appears to be, looking at it from all angles, nothing but nettles, brambles and both briars and tangles," quoth he, Orpheus in the undergrowth.
