LEFT TO SAY

since she
is
goddess,
divine

it would have to be
mortal Adonis
to make the sacrifice
to tell their story

get
those beautiful,
painful words
upon the page

and there it was, their
love saga
captured forever
magnificent creation

and there Adonis lying
finally in the arms of grieving Aphrodite

mission accomplished, nothing
more for him left to achieve
nothing more
left to say
