Kanéna Forever Save My Anthi
Sonnet to Sonnet
Kanéna forever save my Anthi
Who is not a Hawaiian Athena
She would have been a blue-white synanthy
Surely still in charge of her anima
Anthi is Greek and her last name means none
Forever to be with her I will pine
Love at first sight there is no other one
She already traced her way through my spine
Her skin envelops me with to be near
Always as long as existence permits
Her breathing beside me I need to hear
Although it stems from the time she commits
None forever save my Anthi with child
A thought that ranges between mild and wild
-----
I cry for her at the crux of the night
When I close my eyes in wait of her smell
There are some musings I refuse to write
As if they were too difficult to spell
Across the Cosmos it became a room
With a view to an impossible life
There is a spacetime for me in her womb
Bereft of sorrow thirst hunger and strife
To balance each act as if a choice looms
Across a room hidden in the world's spin
Where smoke with no everlasting fire fumes
As heaven too smolders close to the skin
My Anthi Kanéna wears me within
The same place where love ceases to begin
Dedicated to my Anthi and Anthi Psomiadou
