Star Crossed II
By Souladareatease and Grace
HERO:
Boreas’ tantrum fills the dusk
Roars of anger, what ails he
Perchance bitter of Leander
Love of my heart, my passion
Lending surcease to my burning
Kindled by thirst for carnal bliss
LEANDER:
Beckoning light in Turquoise Tower
beacon so bright, the purposed night
Stands land opposite Hope
Heart of heart, soul of Soul
Wind blow of wicked cold
Poseidon, keep me from waters deep
[b]HERO; [/b]
The day grows late
On this window, my candle bright
To show path to Leander in the night
In many grains, he shall refrain
Adage of love on parched frame
Oh fie, the candle embraces night
LEANDER:
Blackened night burned cold
A candle kept steer me though
Skin of Abydos sheath me safe this night
Guide me swift true distant hue
Lake of knives stab me through
Journey I make despite of thee
HERO:
Oh my heart beats with trepidation
Oh Selene would that thou shine
Or impulse Hemera on,
I fear for my beloved, lost
In the embraces of naiads
Sealed with their loving kisses
LEANDER:
Oh Hero, adrift from thee pleas
mine ears flood pressured deep drums
weep now as the pounding beats loves distance
Mastered by a lake now Hades babe
Reach for my Love cold stolen
As Love still holds in loneliness caverns
HERO:
Oh Leander, thine husk water lapped
ravaged by naiads and casted away
O gods served and betrayed, hear my plea
Allow life flow on this my beloved
Or take mine, allow me succour
For without Leander, there is no Hero
LEANDER:
O Hero, spun gold upon heart
Now spent in shadowy gloomed hall
My soul alive cries for here love is
How turns this trick, side by side
Be it Hades mist kissing pride
For surely this be the path eternity
HERO:
O so cold rest I here since Selene reigned
Heart’s dusts, would that I joined thee
My Leander, my Love, so cold in death!
O but who art thou stranger so familiar
Art thou Leander, my drowned love
Or Euphrosyne’s jester’s laughter
LEANDER:
So blown by the deep spirited here, we keep
Souls bond ,Hope and Leander in clasp
Look to me Hyacinth high know our place
Be it left from air but we stare
Always, together mirrored panes image kiss
Aion and Aionios loves composite
HERO:
The tale is done, Hero and Leander joined
Bond of Desire Born of Love
Gone Us now, there be only One
Leave trails spark for everyone.

Thank you, Strider, for reading. I must admit it was daunting to write in this form, especially Greek Mythology. There are tons of rooms for improvement on this one. You are kind.

Dear Red, thank you. It was daunting to say the least, to assume such conversations between the two Greek Mythology characters. I am sure my collaborator, Soul, felt the same. To me this was a tough attempt.

It almost reads like "The Visions of the Daughters of Albion" by William Blake. And it is beautiful. Why do you call it an experiment?
27th May 2013 3:08pm
Thanks Demo, for commenting. I call it an experiment because I have never done this before. Dramatisation in poem form of a Greek Mythology characters, I mean. I believe this is my collaborator Souladareatease's first too. Thanks again Demo.

Just tremendous.....
To be able to write this kind of poetry
shows that the two of you working together
help each other along so much that you
bring out the best in each other.
A wonderful collaboration
