Aphorodíta of Phoenicia


Aphorodíta,
Cast in marble
Watches through the years

Yearning,
Waiting,
For Phoenicia,
Her land to reappear

One Phoenician,
Her Phoenician,
Adonis,
She waits for too

But cast in marble
She waits forever
For that’s
All she can do.

Behind the marble
The story’s different,

They live on
Forever more

Even in the Underworld,
even if for half the time,
And even after death by wild boar

Legends last as statues do
Throughout the tests of time

And Aphrodite and Adonis
Seem a fit for Valentine’s…

      Thanks, Prenin.
      I was affected by a glitch recently which felt as though only I was affected… that’s fixed now, I’m pleased to say! I hope your notifications get back to normal soon.
