Winters with Persephone

Adonis fell in love with Persephone.

Every season was Summer...

No cold, arctic Winter.

The bliss of love animated the essence of their lives.

Every smile was a memory,

every scar reimbursed with amity.

Adonis died,

But Persephone remained his life after death.

He was revived by Aphrodite,

The goddess of love.

Aphrodite gave Adonis another chance to live.

But this promised life should be spent with Aphrodite.

Adonis chose to live again,

just to see Persephone from afar;

In a distance he could never reach;

Bounded by limits, end of their love.

Persephone and Adonis is against every Winter.

Winter season, but blazing Summer in their hearts.

Adonis' broken heart is still beating.

Beating for the one who secretly holds his heart.

He is open for a change---

Even if it calls for a change of heart.
