I sensed you before I saw you
the sugar flavor of meadow wrapped
nectar in the air and my eyes searched
for its source your face the essence
of what I had been waiting for
all those cold and lonely years
my family had made me the guardian
of Elysian and hell until you stepped
into my world like a galaxy bursting
in front of an astronomer's telescope
tell me with all those speckles
on your skin did anyone tell you that
you are a constellation waiting to be loved
and explored
did the bumbling River-Gods
who tried to court you ever understand
that you were destined for so much more
I saw you Spring- Goddess
restless in your loneliness
pulling at crimson flowers to watch them die
wondering if immortality was worth anything
if you were powerless to have any control
over your fate or your destiny
come now tell the truth
I saw you rattle invisible chains
of smother
of boredom
and of too much comfort
