The Myth of Love

MissileOfUncertainty

I'm a flower,

With every pedal plucked.

My stem the only reminder,

That I was beautiful. 

 

I'm Hercules,

Before he new his father was a god. 

Medusa, 

Before she could turn men to stone. 

 

And I'm Aphrodite,  

With vengeance in my sight,

Because she knows love-

Is the only true light. 

 

How could someone disrespect the sacred crown. 

Throw the loyalty of love onto the ground.

 

With a torch in my hand-

I begin the Olympic Games.

Only this time,

I'll take the gold...

 

And shove it down your throat.

    I love this poem so much! The first stanza had me hooked. So relatable. I a agree with hodgetiger when I say "breathtaking!"

    Love the way you describe your solid positive view of yourself whist revealing the tragedy of frailty of inner pain. This is how life is.
