Apollo's rays reach down to kiss our skin.

Apollo's rays reach down to kiss our skin.

This summer glow is down right addictive.

Despite the sun god's efforts, he's lost again.

He cannot match the heat between our hands.

 

Poseidon's waves stretch to grab at our toes.

An ocean is a malignant force not many know.

The sea god is jealous of lovers bound by fate.

A luxery denied to Olympians spawns hate.

 

They aren't all ready to cast us into Tartarus.

Aphrodite of course loves the love between us.

Artemis can't help but share the magic of her moon.

Dionysis smiles as we share a bottle of his potion.

 

Tempted, Tried, and Tortured by jealous Olympians.

Encouraged onward still by the few who understand.

And bound by the Fates who could later tear us apart.

Tell me dear, is it worth the trouble to hold my heart?
