Love Can Kill

Perhaps a Poem

They say that love can kill

I can tell you it does

This is my second life

And it is getting worse

-----

I met Her on a statue

On screen after screen

Likenesses forever

I encountered the real one

-----

I can’t tell you Her name

It’s a blessing for one

Mortal from time to time

One always passionate

-----

Zeus disavowed the idea

Of His daughter with a man

And a mortal no less

And already half-dying

-----

I persevered within without

Most of the beauty of Her words

Their wisdom struck a teary cord

As I knew anew, I love Her

-----

Earth, Wind & Fire - Sun Goddess
