Athena, when you saved us with Hercules <br />from the Stymphalides Fowls, you wanted other things. <br />Neither honours, nor hecatombs. <br /> <br />I see you undressing your panoply quietly, and <br />lay down shield and spear, as if were tufts of snow; <br />wave in your transparent mantle, as a breeze caress, <br />slip away as a nymph to meet him behind your rock.. <br /> <br />I gaze you, your beloved, showered by moonlight, <br />offers you the dead birds; and you see them as flowers, <br />his arms as if they were sky covering your whole body. <br /> <br />Waiting for you, I fell asleep…I see crowds from future <br />upset cause you gave a bad example for all the crowned, <br />they throw crowns when in love with mortals: for Miss Simpson <br />for Todi Al Fayiat, even Merylin Monroe for Di Maggio. <br /> <br />I wake up and reread Sophocles, 'Love wins in the battle’, <br />Evripides, “love..no strange, it’s common with most people”, <br />and Dante 'l' ?mor che move il sole e l' altre stelle'. <br /> <br />Let us confess to live in harmony with the nature, <br />mix up bleu and yellow to compose green of hope, <br />mingle tin and copper to have an admirable bronze statue. <br /> <br />Even a goddess has the right to love with a woman’s heart, <br />without frames and laws. Let her be united with her beloved <br />be embraced. Even a chinese wall cannot separate them <br />they can easily jump it over with the long pole of love, <br />and be reunited in one body, leaving you speechless, <br />on the loopholes, and thirsty at the fontana amorosa. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© JosephJosephides<br /><br />Joseph S.
