Kalopsia
[ka-lop-se-a] Greek
(n.) The delusion of things being more beautiful than they really are.
Poetry. Mostly intertwined with Tales of Greek Mythology.
"Will wonders never cease
When my muse saunters the velvet night,
And prays to the moon for...
A corsage of lost lovers Is written in the stars for a god like me Because when I love I love wholeheartedly, with a golden heart and delicate voice. But as the sun burns everything in its touch, Like Icarus...my dear Icarus My love is a dagger, A bittersweet tragedy.
My Hyacinth, Your heavenly love is nectar and honey to the sweetest of petals, My dearest flower, my beautiful hyacinth, Who knew we were doomed to romance, Doomed to love? Is it wrong to say my most beautiful sin was loving you, Loving now the flower of a dying man?
A song as angelic as Orpheus' A galaxy of constellations in the cosmos conjured by Selene, Or the lure of her goddess beauty, Aphrodite Couldn't have captured the complete serendipity your eyes brought or the warmth of my heart-the golden bleeding heart of a god-which had found utopia within the arms of a mortal.
Is this a god's lament? For loving another soul As celestial and innocent as yours? Because my dear when you left I wept tears to fill a flooding river, And raged against the prophecy foretold of fleeting youth. Tell me, as I weep in the silence of sadness, will the wind keep singing and the earth keep turning when it's most beautiful life has left it? I refused, so I keep your beauty In a hue of violet and pale blue For many mortals to find, A single flower, the Hyacinth To be here for all time, Til the earth goes for the long rest, And til we all are dying, And on its softest petals, I inscribe my sorrows "alas" For all time.

I'm sorry y'all, this poem is not my greatest work I just didn't want to leave you guys without anything. :(
I've been on a bit of a writing break because of writers block and just to take a break in general- so it may take longer to get more poems out, so please bare with me.
Love you guys, and I will write more soon (hopefully). Also, silenzio Bruno <3
With that being said, good morning, afternoon, evening, or night...have a wonderful day!
