To Aphrodite

To Aphrodite 

Great Aphrodite,

Beauty of the sea,

She who loves

When we ourselves cannot 

Her hands grace our hair,

A motherly touch, one of comfort 

She tells us it’ll all be alright,

When we cannot see through our tears 

So, beauty Aphrodite,

We praise you heartfully, 

For holding us close,

And clearing the salt from our eyes.

Invocation to Aphrodite

me, clueless: i mean i like the theoi but more from a mythological standpoint, i don’t really think i want to worship any of them-

aphrodite, hounding signs on me: girl. you need me.

(anyways here’s a lil invocation/prayer  i wrote to honor my homegirl)

Bright, shining Aphrodite,

Born of foam and risen from the wine-dark sea

With beauty and power and strength awe-inspiring

I honor the glory of your name.

Please grant me your eyes, to see beauty in all things;

Bestow upon me your tongue, to speak only words of love.

Give me your hands, to keep making good in this world;

Guide me to walk in your divine light.

Not the beauty of sky with stars ,

Nor the amazement of taz ,

Her eyes neither hold the black magic,

Nor her lips were petals of rose,

Yet he loved her as if she was his religion,

And her name was his hymn.

And I wonder does he ever knew he was faith of mine .
