LOVE LETTERS FROM YOUR FS through Sappho poems
Sappho is one of the most romantic poetess ever. And once I read a quote that was: “Her broken form (poetry) cannot be more human; the same way we are broken, alive, fragmented, and intimate memories of our lives”.
Sappho and her poetry will help us to understand your FS messages towards you; the same way her poems are just a small part of her memories and life.
PILE 1: Fragment 16 – Helen of Troy
"Everyone can understand this – consider
That Helen, far surpassing the beauty
Of mortals, left behind
The best man of all
To sail away to Troy. She remembered
Neither daughter nor dear parents
As [Aphrodite] led her away”.
(The moon – 3 of shells – king of gems – Prince of wings – 9 of roses)
I want to run away with you, I want to leave all our obligations and obstacles behind. I wish we could hide in the dark, just enlightened by the moon; I want to kiss you under the stars. I want to caress you and hug you forever, I wish I could take care of you and never let anybody hurt you. You are my only moon and muse. You are the one that makes my darkness disappear. With you, I’m able to celebrate the smallest victories, there’s never a bad day or night next to you. I want to build a home for you; I know it’s complicated, I know it’s a challenge but I’m willing to become someone mature and respected to protect you. I love you with my whole heart and soul and I will always put you first. I will become someone powerful, so we never lack anything. But, I wish I didn’t have to become someone else to protect you, I wish we could just be happy and together alone; I don’t want to fight anybody else just for our happiness. I want to spend all my time with you, I hate how society wants to interfere in our lives. I want us to have our home protected and secured, I wish you didn’t have to worry about anything, I want us to live together and create a family. I want us to have our happy ending. The moment I find you, I will never depart from you. I feel that I love you too much. I want you all for myself. Take care until the moment we see each other, form that point on, I will be the one taking care of you. I would like to marry you as soon as I can.
(So much warmness! That was so intense; I think he’s from a hot country because I was feeling so much heat..)
PILE 2
“With his venom irresistible and bittersweet that loosener of limbs, Love reptile-like strikes me down.”
(7 of gems- Princess of gems – The Devil – The Emperor – The Chariot – The wheel of fortune)
“I’m sorry, I am so sorry. I’m just feeling really frustrated, you could think I’m stupid for saying this: but I am just so young. I don’t know what I am doing or what I want to do. I’m still trying to find my place and path; I hope you understand. I’m trying to do my best and discover my likes and dislikes; I still don’t know and I am so confused. Some may say I am a playboy or a ghoster but that’s not true, I am trying to discover myself and I am not willing to fulfill people expectations, just mines; but still, a part of me hopes I can fulfill yours.
I want to seduce you; I hope I can become someone attractive in your eyes because you are a goddess in mine. You are so beautiful; I cannot wait to put my hands on your body. I want to touch your waist and hips and press them against my body. I want to be someone powerful and a match to your power and strength. You are an empress and I just want to make you mine, I don’t want your “Kingdom” or place, I just want you. I also must be this powerful emperor/ king that can match your spirit. God, you are so clever too. I’m so determined to have you and make you mine. I will take you on so many pretty trips. We will feel like we are flying. We are the king and queen of the whole world. I don’t know, I just feel so lucky to know you are my spouse, I can’t wait to meet you.
PILE 3:
“I love delicacy, and for me Love has the sun's splendour and beauty”
(8 of gems – 7 of roses- The devil- The hierophant – 8 of shells – The high priestess + more)
I think you are beautiful; I think you are perfection. You are so pretty, I feel as you are the perfect couple for me, but somehow…I feel insecure next to you. I’m sorry, I will have to recollect some courage before meeting you. I need to be brave to speak to you, you are so pretty I stand speechless every time I want to greet you or conversate with you. My feelings for you are also so strong, I like your body and face so much, sometimes I am scared of my own emotions because this is not how I have been raised. You make me feel so lusty about you, I feel sorry about it sometimes. I cannot stop myself from thinking about your body, and face, and lips, and my hands all around them.
I think it’s a sacrifice I must do, you will teach me so much, you will change my believes. You are so intuitive and clever and you have all these ideas about the afterlife and energies and rocks?? You make me think that maybe not everything is as it seems. I have to thank you too for having so much patience with me. It must not be easy to try to explain these tings to me. But it brings us so much joy, I love to spend time with you and I love to see how happy it makes you, that someone listen to you in those matters, I don’t think I will ever forget your shinny eyes and pink lips. Sometimes, you must repeat what you say, I’m sorry, I focus so much on your pretty lips that I cannot contain myself from kissing them. I hope you are happy while we are apart, I want you to grow, spiritually or however you say it, so you can teach it to me while we are together, even when we are old. I hope we can meet in our next lives too, is that how you would say it? (And I just heard some laughs and a caress on my cheek) .
