EROS
"Fairest of the deathless gods." As the conquerer of Mt. Helicon hailed thee, Hear me.
Eros son of night, Let your passion take flight. The egg of silver stars Planets of licking flame, In heavenly copulation The climax of all creation Are all wanton lover 's, Thinking on your name. White fire from your arrows Burn the thirsting heart, That would learn the sacred arts Of your long neglected veneration.
Your Passion in me Reflect Aphrodite. Whisper the music of Pan, Call Dionysis & the Maeniad clan. Your naked circus revelry Will worship in my home My bed shall lie pure Your sacrificial stone.
Through the darkness hold, Touch the rainbow lights In manipulation of the shadow folds, Dance the earthly delights.
Eros son of night I am passions child in your site.
Teach me in your gentleness Of loves courage & lusts suppleness. So that I may go & do your will in peace & peace through & do no ill.
Always too be an incarnation Of your roaming gifts of imagination & All wild floating lifts of infactuation.
Eros, son of nite Breathe & the shrinking universe excite.

it's good to read something based on the original subject of poetry, greek deities. it is like a return to the foundation of western poetry. it is interesting that you chose to write about eros, rather than his more famous equivalent 'cupid'. i think this worked better because the poem offered more intrigue to the reader. i really enjoyed reading this actually. it was beautifully written, well controlled and conjured up wonderful images. one of your finest writes, the ancient greeks would have been proud.
