The Invocation of Eros

 



(A lone voice whispers)


May this prayer help you be mine


My sweet and dear Clémentine


To summon Eros 

From the Deep Divine


So two hearts can forever be entwined

  

And through destiny  


Be bound in love's surreal ecstatic chains


No longer restrained

Like an unspoken quatrain


A stanza of four lines

Which forever pines


But to ignite the spark 

Of a new light 


A reborn sonnet to dispel the darkness 


Hidden out of sight

From my heart 


So Mother Moon


Turn your wheel to send a beam 

From The Great In-Between 


To empower me in this

My heart's only quest tonight 


To imprint how I feel

While I kneel


As I call her to me,

So mote it be  


What will be 

Will be
