When She Returns (Her coming for me)
The Greek myth says
Ceres awaits the return of her beloved daughter Proserpina
So she can color the world in lilac and iris
The gold of black eyed Susans and the harvest to come
My power to change the world by no means bares comparison
But my desire and need of you runs just as deep
You complete me in ways I didn't know possible
Blossoms do unfurl when I'm in your presence
Fields of ecstasy explode like untamed lilies
Outstretched towards the sun then slowly sinking towards the fertile soil that first gave them birth
And just as it seems it all will sink and swoon
To forever disappear
A gentle touch
A soft breeze
An unspoken word
Gives new meaning for yet another explosion
That reaffirms life
Reaffirms love
Bask in it now we're told
For the dark hand of Hades will beckon
And my beloved will have to return to his kingdom
She knows her duty in that world
But while she is gone I can shed no light in mine
Neither of us really suffer we merely endure
Until we can share the smell of lilacs and iris that linger with her coming
