A mythical poem ( i wrote it thinking about Polar Opposites)

Endymion’s lover


Shelter me in Heaven
Let your herd run away,
God heard all my prayers
If only you could stay...

Come to distant hill
Where your flute is bound
Your gentle, quiet trill
Is making my heart sound

Gaze your dreamy eyes
Of a gentle fawn
Let me see in them
The days of brighter dawn

Do you remember how,
Once you turned your Wand
Into a guiding sign
To show me Cloverland ?

You pointed to a cloud
Drawn back to your left side
A narrow field of clover
Stood up the valley wide

Trembling reeds in the distance
Had then started to swing
Their rhythm long unfelt...
To our hearts could cling .

All laid into the grass
Enchanted beyond reach
At certain , silent times
Only grasshoppers preached


A stream of pious locusts
Had ministered divine
While solemn dragonflies
Drew near the nature’s shrine

A windy scent of hay
Was floating in my wreath...
Before i walked away
I told you in a breath:


‘’ We should share the Crown
We’re both fated to reign
If you choose to leave
Your distant, clover plain !’’

‘’But if you long to stay
Around the fields , at least
Spare me of my reins
By making me a beast ‘’

‘’ What human would I be
If now i yearn the stock
Of a heavenly creature
You keep in your flock ‘’

‘’If you prefer to guard
Your herd upon the field
Why would I wander about
Materially to yield? ‘’

I love you more than ever
The memory of you
Will be a hopeless wound
If time will hold love true ...
--------------------------------------------
I wait for days and nights
An answear to these calls...
Since you stay in your shelter
Before the darkness falls.
At midnight you’d retreat
To find Her half-asleep
Aside a river stream
Where only willows weep...

Will you summon the Moon
To strike for me a blow
While in forgetfulness
You’ll cast my loving glow?

You need her .. pale and cold,
A light , too dim , a ghost
Will she your dreams command
With an enlivened boast?

In Dreamland, will you stay
Oblivious of clover
So easily , led astray
By your elusive Lover ?

My dear heavenly sheperd
Don’t fall into Moon’s spell
Her soul is darker still
Then a deserted whell

Her eyes , much frozen yet
Than the chill of death
That you confound in sleep
With my caressing breath ..

Will you replace the warmth
Of all my tender grace
And keep an endless lid
On love’s immortal face...?

Then , will I just remember..
Profounder sleep can’t be
Then your oblivion
Your love bestowed on me ...

Or should I forget
The pain of loving light
Instead of a deep love
That never wanes at night ?

Were I to be the Moon
Or just a star to see
You will not care , my dear
That you enlightened me

And even if you see
A distant , shining sign
You’d rather walk away
And silently resign..
