Time has nearly eclipsed you,
resembling a nova
your once brilliant cast
now a clouded view.

It was not always so,
safe within the hunter’s sword
the essence of all love
was yours alone to bestow.

Was it goddess earth, or moon?
She took back your every gift
laced with hidden greed,
forever to run from the scorpion.

Still, you flicker, fixed in space
when wintry nighttime skies
coax clarity to clouds,
she is lost in your embrace.

Corinne~ this is such a beautiful poem......I just love........

"Was it goddess earth, or moon?
She took back your every gift
laced with hidden greed,
forever, you run from the scorpion."

Makes me want to run outside and look up at the heavenly night sky   -SEA

Ah, the Goddess Saga, writes with cryptic word... where is a cypher machine when you need one...  
The sky is so alive with mystery.  

Nice to see your words sweet poet.

woww Corinne a beautifully penned poem, such tender and wonderful thoughts.

"In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor" Joy division
