Analysis of Himeros' Curse
Gazing at the moon and stars
in the ethers above,
i envy their togetherness,
crave the evasion of my lonesomeness.
I lay her drowning in amy anguish and turmoil.
This unrequited love drains me of life,
its tormenting embrace fills me with comfort,
i have found peace in the war i waged against
myself,
i seek refuge in this state of exile,
felt serenity in the midst of chaos,
utmost pleasure in bitter pain.
Love is a madness
that cunningly, seducingly draws one from sanity,
a nightmare
embellished with the most colorful of garments,
resembling a daydream at first glance.
It is a tempest creeping unnoticed to the calmest
of oceans,
a pest serpentining its way to devour the greenest
of crops.
This love i bare for thee has partially destroyed me,
distance has cut parts of me open,
but i shall complain no more,
the deepness of the wounds caused by thine farness
and thine ignorance of my affection,
matter not,
for your presence, a smile or glance from you
suffice to heals my pains.
