Hail Eros
By: Jennifer H. Wright
All hail Eros
Ancient lord of love -
Flying with his wings so grand
may you be so lucky he takes your hand.
Generous and giving
He loves all that is living.
Sometimes he is seen blind
but it is we who are blind to him.
Open hearts make doorways to light -
free yourself of hatred animosity and strife
Let love into your life.
Some see him as an angel
I know the first time I did I thought him just that
His hair is as light as the golden sun rising on a summers morning -
To look at his face is to gaze into perfection -
He is without flaw of any kind.
Near him one obtains clarity of mind.
His laughter is as sweet as a melodious song ;
it fills one with light and drives away all darkness.
Without his influence, dwell in madness -
although some say he sends people to and through it.
There is so much more to him than meets the eye
and if you blink you may just miss it.
Yes we know he is all love -
but he is also kindness and care
without it all this world would be dead and bare.
He brings peace wherever he roams
he sends joy and friendship so we may not feel fear or alone.
His radiance is so intense that demons can not peer at him without being
burned away.
So brilliant is his way it shines like a suns ray
sending harmony to a new day.
It is a true statement to say that no poem could truly do him justice.
Only he could write it so well
but he is modesty embodied and would never dare.
He is inspiration, in its truest form
from him all good things are born.
Without love all hope and desire is scorned.
Love is a smile returned with a wink,
it is always there even when we don't think.
Fragrance of a an equally beautiful bloom
overpowering any stench sending immediate doom.
Love cools when passions run hot
love burns when they do not.
Eros, dear Eros
How can any mortal thank you for your gifts?
I can only return your love and show to others you exist.
Your charm never easy to resist
nor would I ever want to.
You keep the sky blue even when there is rain
You send joy when I receive pain.
The soft whisper in my ear assuring all will be alright
The hand holding me guiding me safely in the dark of night.
The quiver of your arrows and its almighty sting
may it rain your love and all that it brings.
And to all those who dare to turn their backs to you
feel the blow the hardest
and may they roam the domains blinded by your radiance
to feel the heat of your rapture.
The beating of their hearts grow stead faster
else they stop dead in the face of disaster.
Where no where else to turn but towards the light of your love
or to the deep black may they be shoved.
Eros, dear Eros
Lord of light and love
I thank thee for your presence and for all that you share.
And may I be always so lucky to know you are always there burning brightly
sending goodness to all
Lest this world fall.
To the Lord of the Underworld
By: Jennifer H. Wright
Deep
beneath our Earth from which we tread, lives a god whom many dread.
Yet still they hope to gain his favor, for forged within the eternal flame of our planets core,
are the rich treasures of gems we admire and adore.
Where the sun never touches is another beauty to be found,
in the darkness that surrounds ---.
Ah sweet and lovely is lord Hades lair,
Where his queen brings her loveliness most fair.
Truly no enchantment need provoke one to love one so fine.
She brings to us the balance below so we may live comfortably above,
Praise to you fair Persephone whom we do love.
As does your mother holy Demeter bringer of the grain and harvest.
I pray I may pass these earthly trials on my heavenly
quest,
that I may join the heroes in the fields when this life is done but never the test.
Hail O Mighty Apollo
By: Jennifer H. Wright
Hail O' mighty Apollo,
Lord of the sun and it's powers of light and healing!
You whom loves me from above, warming me with your soft carress.
Dare I stare back at you I would be blinded by your RADIENCE!
For in your shadow I am humbled and awed.
O' Hail to thee Lord Apollo of the most golden bow,
Shall I seek you out, or shall thee find me?
Graced me with your energy, I forsee destiny.
Ah, sweet Graces, sing O' Muse,
Thou does so of you and your Glory.
And hail to thee Titaness Mnemosyne mother and keeper of all of the secrets of the ages, There is nothing you do
not know, but wise for you to reveal to us no more than we need know.
Changes in the atmospheric pressures,
and elemental glimpse of a barrier being broken previously not crossed...
seal the burn,
heal the pain,
cycle turn,
seasons remain,
Feel the holy flame,
Waters flowing,
Everlasting peace forged from Chaos.
Oh come forth GREAT and powerful Gaea!
High above us watching over us Uranus greets us both fierce and kindly..
Reminders of the past to learn from what has been.
Sanctuary of Apollo
Ode to Zeus
By: Jennifer H. Wright
Hail to thee lord O' mighty Zeus
Keeper of the realms of all heavenly and divine Olympus
The great thunderer of the skies
Magnificent and wise
He whom is fair and impartial
to any of good faith whom tries.
Sacred is any space
that you have visited or where you may roam
All mighty Zeus in his unearthly throne
I pledge to thee my loyalty
and vow to thee my love
for thou art the ruler and the keeper of the key.
Hail O' great Zeus
Blessed be Zeus
Praise to you and yours and thy heavenly wife Hera
whom has had many remarkable children.
Though thou may not be the creator
Thou has blessed all worlds with many wonderful things
from which I adore and of I sing.
Ode to Fair Hera
By: Jennifer H. Wright
Who is the great woman whom is of the earth and a wondrous mother?
Who is sister and supporter of the Heavenly sky
god Zeus?
Thy fair and enchanting Hera, lovely is your mighty presence.
Stern and solid, firm in your ways, yet soft and flowing is your heart.
By your rights the myths of your cool vengeance disgrace your heated passions.
For thou is righteous and loving, but your discipline is harsh. Sharp is your tongue, great is your wit, and thou
is fine and ever enchanting.
! O' Beautiful cow eyed Hera, thine loves and worships your excellence!
