Dionysus who roams fog laden woods, with you i feel my flesh

decades i spent, toiling in numbness and disenchantment but with you, Dio i feel vines that coil around my skin and sinew and make me strong- reinforced with your virility.

as enamored as i am with your name and image, like a school girl's crush

i thirst for your steadfast presence in me like a prisoner who dreams of freedom

take up space within me, around me, above me, below me

i have decided, Dionysus

it is in your blinding shadows i wish to burn and rise again

the interesting and paradoxical thing about Dionysos is that this historically ancient god is perennially depicted as newly arriving everywhere he goes. in other words he is a god of beginnings: when you first start to fall in love or get drunk or have an idea—that is the intoxication called Dionysos, new every time.

— Anne Carson [x]

“O, Hypnos,

divine repose of all things!

Gentlest of the deities!

Peace to the troubled mind,

from which you drive the cares of life.

Restorer of men’s strength

when wearied with the toils of day.”

— Ovid, Metamorphoses

[apollons-arrow]

when i come running to you,

trembling, cowering like a child,

you let me hide behind you

you run a hand through my hair

holding me tight, and assure me

“nothing can harm you here”

when the dark lunges for me

it is divinely burned away

by your fierce love

you protect me

asking nothing in return

but my devotion

how could i not worship you?

Apollo is one of the Olympian deities in classical Greek and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. The national divinity of the Greeks, Apollo has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. One of the most important and complex of the Greek gods, he is the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis, goddess of the hunt.
