Upon one summer’s evening, in a ruin garden 

I was writing a poem 

Of loneliness 

And many other feelings 

That rage inside my immortal self 

 

You came to my lair, and it was like an arrow had wounded me 

Eros was not here 

Yet my heart started screaming 

Asking kindly 

Wouldn’t you come closer 

 

We kissed and the world spun around 

My home was on fire 

For how could I, a goddess 

Fall for a mortal - a mere child compared to me 

Yet in that moment, nothing mattered 

 

Zeus tore up the sky above us  

Poseidon made the seas overflow  

Hades raised the dead 

I had lost my mind 

Said Hera, but only when they were listening 

 

I cried for answers 

For the Heavens to take away my heart 

Suffocate its beating 

Or make me as good as dust in the wind 

How could this story be planned by the Fates 

 

The last time I saw you 

You were here, next to me 

You were glad 

To have met me in this lifetime 

Down came lighting, striking straight into your beating heart 

 

How do you slay a God 

You do not 

But a God can die 

Of a broken heart 

An empty oath 

 

You drifted away from Life 

But I followed you 

We’re united 

Bound together, 

For eternity 

 

Never was there a greater love story 

Between a man and a Goddess
