sun succumbed to the earth's ripples from purple irises
divine poetry, quote love, conjuring electricity butterflies
that housed solace on his lip ridges as kisses
lord of archery dies immortally for flyingdiscus
that Zephyros fatally fanned with a jealous cuss.
decapitated body spewed blood as red as hibiscus
unbearable heat of sun chariot all day he bore
but Lord of medicine never found the cure
to the soul sucking tears that dissolved his lover to flower.
