The Nectar poured its brightness
To you who bloom even in Tartarus
My night's splash of color,
Persephone to my Hades.
You're both sunshine and flowers,
Blanket of Hestia when it's colder.
Warmth of August cast upon
My skin, indeed there is no other.
Eros breathed life back on
To me who's caged in Abaddon.
Now I've befriended peace,
Leave the life of abandon.
