Endymion
by Santiago, 2001

Bright Selene, thou art
Mine only lover,
Twist dusk and dawn
Your kisses are the only touch
Upon my skin.

Helios, I hate thee for
You steal my love, my life,
Forced into tormented slumber
Humbled, helpless...
I must await her return.

By no choice of mine
I am ever lost,
A slave to the darkness
Eternal youth is mine and yet
I miss those waking hours.

So kiss again, my lips are thine
Goddess of the Moon.
Have your way with me,
For who am I
To deny such gifts as you bestow.
