Replying to a comment on:

Aphrodite (edited) (Sonnet) by Caducus

From Poseidon, Aphrodite appeared, With eyes aquamarine that shone, From virgin sight I was endeared, The ocean bowed which she walked upon. Semitic goddess of rapturous deity, Embrace me like you do the earth. Salt from my eyes for you I lay at sea, Let my sadness of envy be our mirth. But from the zealous palms of Cronus, The sickle splits my flesh to froth, Son’s of Hesiod come to stone us, My blood mixes in to salty broth, And I spread around her immortal flesh, And we are one in togetherness.

From Poseidon, Aphrodite appeared,
Eyes aquamarine, and true as the dawn.
From her virgin flesh all wave horses reared,
As an Ocean bowed when she walked upon.

Immaculate goddess of men's delight,
Embrace me as if I was Hephaestus
After fire pounding steel all day and night.
My mouth to yours, my hands to your discus'.

But my loss serves the will of the sky God
Your uncle loves you enough to kill me.
As the storm brings me down I find it's odd
that love between men and gods cannot be.

My love and my life to you I bequeeth
I am yours out at sea just underneath.
