Array ( [sid] => 147362 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => EROS [time] => 2009-01-10 17:25:56 [hometext] => A God worth the worshiping [bodytext] => 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. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 64 [informant] => incognito_bombastus [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ambiguous )

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.
