My Lover
‘but, ah, my lover, we’ll scatter the clouds
and as my disc flys, we’ll laugh to the ground
we’ll follow the sun
my light as it shines
your beautiful face, will forever be mine’
‘i will catch your disc, as it clatters the ground
then you and i, my lover be found,
we’ll shift the winds, with your beautiful sound’
‘no! hyacinthus, my lover be found,
we still need to fly, up with the clouds!
without you i am nothing,
the sun will not shine
for light cannot be produced
without you as mine
my lyre will not play,
for you are my sound
prophecies will not be told
for i have no future found
medicine will cease its workings
for there is not point in healing
what is already despaired
and you, my lover
will not be shared
no underworld will claim you
for you are mine
you’ll stay in my gaze
as flower in sun
you, my love
are my one true one
from now into eternity
i will always love you
so, goodbye, my lover
i will cherish you
and for the future we never had
i will always run’
This poem is based off the Greek myth of Apollo and Hyacinthus. I don’t really know what form to call it, because it’s just dialogue between them. It starts and finishes with Apollo speaking, with Hyacinthus having a line in the middle. I tried to fit it with the prompt as much as I could. Anyways, thanks for reading!!❤️
