Fate

I am so far beneath you
A stone submerged at the bottom of the Avilés
I stare up at the heavens and look for Astarte
Adonis to Aphrodite
I am a mere mortal and you a celestial daughter of the heavens
Diffident
I am so far beneath you
 
 
Your presence rushes me like water
Taking me in a rush and mixing me in
A littoral wall crashes into me then melts, I mix in
As I tumble in the swirling wave I become lost in the wave
I break past the surface and breathe, imbued, composed, and purified
Bliss
Your presence rushes me like water
 
 
My vow is to adore you
I Sir Lancelot and Orpheus, would face death and hell for you
Queen Guinevere, Eurydice do not fear
I will fight and kill my once fellow knights I will descend to Hades and face beast and devil
I will spurn all fear, doubt, and concern for myself  
Devoted
My vow is to adore you
 
 
Your beauty is without equal
Of Plato’s forms you are pure beauty and love
Helen was once your name and a thousand ships sent after you
Your face, your body, your soul
Every part of you is gold, precious, and rare
Beguiling
Your beauty is without equal
 
I’m afraid of the future I see
Adonis and Aphrodite were forced to be apart
Lancelot and Guinevere ended up alone
Orpheus was too haste and lost Eurydice forever
Paris died and Helen returned to Sparta
Fate
What else is to be expected from the mingling of a goddess with a man?
