From Venus Cup
From the cup of Venus
A few drops of Gods' ambrosia I drunk
Thus
Among the Olympians myself, I found
Because of your love!

Strength of Passion and Courage Birth Glory
Passion and courage; the Olympians catalyst and reward…
Such are the ingredients with which, to build champions.
It takes more strength to build courage, than to challenge ones own fears.

How Many Times
Is it rue, my soul, that many times Hade’s gates you have to cross, wisdom to gain?

Believe In Self Or God
When you believe
In yourself
You can achieve miracles.
Like Olympians,
Who can run 100 yards in under ten seconds,
Who can lift over 450 pounds,
Who can jump over 30 feet,
When you believe
In God,
You are not afraid—
You are at peace.
All is well....

They Had Statues of You In Greece and Rome
Adonis in obsidian
Midnight Heracles
My Orpheus, though out of key,
You sing the dark right out of me
Achilles himself had a weakness;
Yours is within your chest:
The golden heart that’s beating
Within an ebony breast
Olympians play chess with their mortals
Hades takes the rest
Still, Iron Apollo,
You rise and set in the West....

The Coming of Spring
THE COMING OF SPRING
Heralds of euphoria,
Your anxious trumpets make to
Wait no more
For
The Olympians to hear the
Festive news yearn:
Persephone is released
From
Pluto’s palaces, to
The upper world,
Where,
Demetra:
The mother earth, waiting is,
Her daughter to embrace,
In her mandle of green.
Come,
Oh you heralds and sound,
For all in waiting to
Hear!
Apollo is back,
Dionysus is gone,
Spring is here,
Mortals rejoice!

Swimmers
I never learned the proper way
To swim, and so my form
(With head above the water)
Is quite different from the norm.
I don't enjoy it anyway
And rarely hit a pool,
Preferring other exercise
And A/C to keep cool.
But watching the Olympians
Torpedo in their lanes
Makes me marvel at such effort
Which both awes and entertains.
Every sport has its attractions
Yet each breaststroke somehow brings
All observers (me included)
Right into the swim of things....
