Vibrant Spirit Of My Bride

Of all the souls whom Artemis has loved,
mortals who shine with favor of her pride,
my bride outshines them all with character
based on attention to practical needs
grounded in concerns of body and soul
fostered by nurture of respectful trust.

While she is still alive with breath of hope
her brave brightness illuminates my world
with rays from Phosphorus, the dawning star,
and after she joins me in Neverland
her memory will guide children of our hearts
with beams of Hesperus, the evening star.

If Chiron makes blind Phoenix see again
then he could take me back across the Styx
so I may bring fruit from tree of Tantalus
to give ripe apple to bride of my heart
whose warm embrace could resurrect my soul
so I can lead her home with Orphean song.

When I compare true beauty of my bride,
which emanates from her confident heart
through deeds of care for children of our souls,
to glamourous Venus with her graceful stance,
I pray mad Goddess of Beauty accepts
that I prefer blunt woman I adore.

With swift-foot courage of bold Perseus
I would save from aggressive beasts of hate
frail spirit of my bride with humble wiles,
preventing thugs from chaining her with greed
so she remains free in haven of faith
to craft her vision of this world in art.

No haunted Semele, doomed by fierce fate
to burn at flash of knowledge about love,
my bride prepares nutritious meals with care
to nourish us with selfless diligence,
inspired by signs of Zeus Semaleus
that guide our journey home to Wonderland.

Since I can take no wealth my hands acquire
to afterlife in lush Elysian Fields,
which is fraudulent fantasy of fear,
then I bequeath as legacy of love
earthly treasures to coffers of my bride
so she may live well long after I die.

Honored by choice of her pragmatic heart
to guard hearth of her adept sovereignty
with generous endowment of selfless love,
I cherish vibrant spirit of my bride
so we share cups of juice with mutual trust
as Mercury and Artemis in love.
