Forever

A fated whisper between two lovers

A dream dreamed a thousand times

Until the gods noticed

Aphrodite took pity

Her son shot his bow

Loves arrow pierced both lovers hearts through and through

A spark was kindled

Aphrodite pulled her son on her lap

Waiting for the lovers to take their chance

She wished them joy but its their choice

She could only ignite the flame, fan their desire

Sow the seeds of attraction

Lovers could burst and bloom or wither and die

Depending on how they played loves game

In her wisdom countless lovers had been born

Some took there love and soared

Some took there love and hid

Some took there love and died

The dance began

Her favorite part of the game

The lovers waltz

Slow penetrating fire catching

Souls touching and mingling

Body's blending

In melancholy the lady goddess remembered

A once beautiful queen and her two roman solders

Two sweet young lovers ill fated from the beginning

A handsome strong man and his Delia

She blew into her chalice 

Mixing her recipe

Sorrow and joy

Pain and longing

Yearning and regret

Heartache and guilt

Main ingredients of loves intent

Would it end in untold tragedy

Would it fly on its hard won wings

For without tasting the heartache

Without sipping from sorrows cup

They could not find their joy

For love is never written among the stars

But upon two lovers hearts

Sighing and watching

Would mortals never learn

In this gods game

Love is not meant to be understood

But a gift sometimes that has to be earned...
