Aphrodite

Some days my heart pours out of my eyes and comes slip sliding down my cheeks. An offering to Aphrodite who drinks from my soul with a silver chalice. Greedily taking more than her share leaving me a hollow shell of a lover.

I think back to the beginning. The stars. The sky. Time. It was all endless. My heart was unburdened with past affections. I was a blank book for love to write it’s story. I searched endlessly for the author to my heart. Knowing he was looking for me. I believed in the Greek myth of soulmates. My other half was wandering this Earth suffering, looking for me to complete him. To complete our journey through this life together. Oh how the gods laughed at me.
