He dreamed of Aphrodite, Circe,
and Persephone captured at twilight,
trapped by sunrise toting a quiver
full of arrows borrowed from Ares
who borrowed them from Cupid.
Because the gods grant favors.
he awakened wiser. Tingly, a
shadow of doubt followed him,
an aura of the most blessed
harrowed him. There were flowers
that kept appearing in his hair
annoying him horrendously when
they kept turning into arrows.
Now, he seldom sleeps. Aphrodite
keeps showing up behind him
in mirrors posing in an exact
Venus articulation.
If these feminine principles
were about love, then there
would be no problem. Relentlessly,
they want to teach him archery
and how best to wear a sheepskin
for ultimate affect which destroys
the concepts of favor or a gift.

Had lots of fun with this - arrows recur, the religions are mixed, confused, and now exist only as symbols - to be mixed to confound and poke fun. Such is the fate of gods and civilizations.

It is what we do best. To poet is to be read and befuddle, torture with a plethora of thinking, twist the reader into knots of contemplation and WOW, your comment did all this to me! :D ~Lady A~
