Analysis of Heiros Gamos



7 wonders of the world, 7 chakras align, 7 seas I'd cross to get to you for this love that I find. Any mountain I'd climb, this is my spiritual Mt. Sinai, melt the cataracts off my third eye, society gives us that side eye. So indifferent, our love is different, filled with wisdom, we're the bug in the system to break the matrix- it's kismet. A third of the stars fell.. but we've recovered and risen. We don't just shine, we glisten, illuminate through a prism. Escape mental prison, trusting intuition, always uplifted- the life that we're given; a gift of sinning. Not just Mr. And Mrs. This is inner alchemical, sacred marrige I'm spittin. I'll turn the grave of your heart to a garden, where you buried me, a lotus flower, that escaped the underworld; Persephone, yet offering "anar" to Hecate, Pray she blesses me, protecting me, burning down the past like an effigy.

About this poem

It's personal to me. Themes of Greek mythology and biblical references, used as an analogy to describe the emotional roller coaster between two destined, yet star crossed lovers. Also, ones personal journey from their lowest point, "the underworld", to escaping that personal hell to rise back up again amongst the living. Yet ironically still offering a pomogrante to the Goddess of the underworld for protection, not forgetting where they came from, and as not to be pulled back, yet as the mythology goes, persephone was stuck in the underworld for 6 months out of the year because she ate the pomogrante hades offered her.
