bound in bronze no window danae pined for what she did not know tears of azure purity flowed uphill gods on mt olympus were covered with her grief zeus meant only to cheer her yet found her so pale so comely round curved in her heartpain passion poured his life through bronze he lay conquered a shower of gold in her lap beguiling as gods can be she foreswore him not what mortal woman would tear her wounded eyes from fair zeus shake her skirts of his head and say begone in your splendor what mortal woman looks to her future when dark curls fill her lap god breath whispers on her skin what mortal woman weeps facing that moment zeus turned wine lips to her mouth sealed her destiny with sweetness bound in bronze no window danae received him pined no more ah we mortal women are no match for the mangods who bless our laps in a shower of gold [This message has been edited by The Lady (11-19-2006 02:15 AM).] |

O'siyo Lady,sadly at times it takes not so much a god to turn the head of a poor womans heart as the sweet words of caring,eh?Your peom is a reflection of the need for being needed maybe? It is beautiful!

"zeus turned wine lips to her mouth sealed her destiny with sweetness" ~ Measures very high on my "Sigh Meter"!!!  "ah we mortal women are no match for the mangods who bless our laps in a shower of gold" ~ Wonderful closing to this stirring and highly romantic piece of writing! Love and mangods' golden light!

When I once again congeal from this puddle into which I have melted I shall read more of what you write and I love to read  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
