Fallen

a brilliant bold sun

rose the day I saw Psyche

dimmed when it met her smile

the stars at night

shame-faced meeting her eyes

now don't get me wrong

it was lust unreined

I knew she felt the same

shameless bestial

but it was not to be

oh how I suffered

the years she wandered

the years squandered

now don't get me wrong

I care not for love

the binding the agony

the hearts the flowers

not for me

I am the god of carnality

yet I fell

like any callow school-boy

needing her gaze

craving her lips

undone by love

now don't get me wrong

I enjoy a good meal as any

so there was a celebration

a ritual banquet

forever and exclusivity

promised

and now I am no more

purveyor of lust

I am the minion of Love
