Psyche Prevails
Standing upon the cusp of tomorrow
You see Zeus nibble an ebony sky
Golden chains adorn his fiery neck
Held out a gilded basket of riches
Standing upon the cusp of tomorrow
You see Eros tumble from a metal steed
Pricked by his mystic arrow he swoons
Charmingly he casts an amatory gaze
Standing upon the cusp of tomorrow
You see Psyche bathe in a locus amoenus
Unwittingly she is nicked by Eros's bolt
Magic weaves the venery of a lover lost
Reeling into the chasm of tomorrow
You witness Venus holding a cup of bile
Aglaura and Cidippe devilishly scheme
Forlorn the piqued lovers tied to strings
Reeling into the chasm of tomorrow
You witness Eros in unabated slumber
Enchanted he is by the will of spheres
Knowing not his mind he wanders lost
Reeling in the chasm of tomorrow
You witness the damnation of Psyche
Tribulations afoot lovers are forestalled
Decades of tragedy she must now endure
Surviving the riptide of tomorrow
You beseech aid from motherly Ceres
Weigh she must the lover's hearts
White glove falls upon a stone floor
Surviving the riptide of tomorrow
You beseech the idle Eros to awake
Bestirred he flees in bewilderment
Agony in witness to a shattered vase
Surviving the riptide of tomorrow
You beseech Charon to accept payment
Dreams unfettered Psyche gives chase
Entreaty to Ceres the glove returned
Lovers embrace the dawn of tomorrow
You cheer Ceres's release of provocation
Hermes convokes the Gods to rejoice
Resplendent is the gala in praise of love
Lovers embrace the dawn of tomorrow
You cheer Eros his defiance of Venus
Quiver tossed aside he interlaces Psyche
Resplendent is the gala in praise of love
Lovers embrace the dawn of tomorrow
You cheer Psyche resilient determined
Arms outstretched she consumes her Eros
Resplendent is the gala in praise of love
