STARDUST
Andromachi Benekou
Love is a conqueror
shoots silver arrows
but if it happens that you refuse him
it throws you into the marshes!
He is a fierce warrior
He holds you like a booty
As "slave" you follow
your golden crown wears!
After the violent invasion
flowers of the soul have withered
you are in divine court
your spirit is enchanted!
You go through secret passages
swallow tails fly low
you arrive at the Parthenon as a king
they wear your purple tunic!
That's where your life shines
in the stone-pillared alleys
stardust is gathering
in five-petalled lilies!
Unsuspecting you taste it
you think it is the nectar of the Gods
you never heal
follower of the passions…
