Orion

Trace my skin with your warm fingertips,

She said after she swore her love with that last kiss.

Before the rays of a certain light ruptured in an infernal rage,

Nay a fault of a lover that cannot be swayed.

Nymphs wept as their Goddess mourned,

To a deceitful choice that led to a night well torn.

Envy was he with a harp at day,

Of a tale from she who told a story of a heroic way.

Under the evening sky they used to sat by the fire,

And under the blankets of stars, t’was euphoria to dire.

For she took him for a ride in the heavens at night,

Placed him in the sky and darling dearest we all know why.

A tribute to the wild and lovers at bay,

For he who departed in the stars he laid.
