Cupid and Craftsmen

my consort, my wife

born from castration

by cronos unto uranus

then thrown to the seas

what rises from aphros

they call her aphrodite

the greek

or the she venus of rome

from aphros

the foam of the sea

so lovely so lovely too lovely

a cause of great rivalry

by merely existing

so zuess married her ugly

to a great craftsmen

hephaestus, his name

named

for a consort of opposites

goes the lady of cyprus

with the god of all blacksmiths

hammer and anvil

beauty and cupid

clearly an open relationship

"cupid and psyche"

only the lucky find in one

the entire human race

There's a melodic quality to this beautifully crafted. Kudos for the video I'm quite taken with Tori Amos. R xo

[aLittlePain]

I would too

What happened to the Dionysios Solomos piece?

[Davidgeo]

I know that's a Greek poet from like two hundred years ago, but, I don't know of the piece you speak of... I just woke up and smoked a bunch of grass with my coffee. I'll be confused for at least 2 more hours.

[aLittlePain]

[Davidgeo]

Thank you.

[Papaya]

You're welcome. It's a good poem.

I've been on a mythology kick the past couple of days... it's real easy to write on that stuff. Thank the Greeks, this is the least original thing I've written in a long times.
