Two Greek lovers
Two Greek lovers
Two Greek lovers walking hand in hand,
Not caring for Victorian purity,
Defying the laws of their Christian land,
Living a life of beauty and luxury.
They do not see people's glares,
A suspicious officer believing common lies,
Do not seem to mind when he stares,
'cause they notice nothing but each other's eyes.
Young lovers, I wish you all the luck of life,
Because we know what they deny,
is sweeter, purer, softer than man and wife,
So fight and stay together until you die.
And even then, die together,
And winged you'll live the dreams in your mind,
And it will be so much better,
Than the ignorance you left behind.

An uplifting poem... Intimate. It conveys such enormous feeling, and I love the characters deliberate rejection of 'Victorian purity'.

A very good insight into how history and society changes belief. Maybe we can get past Victorian purity and Christian rules too, in our lifetime.
