Diamond Of His Heart

The last time they meet in grove of fruit trees, 
flashing leaves blush with gold glow of their kiss. 
Though she waits for him in the rain all night 
she never doubts honesty of his love. 
Each time she sees him walking down the road 
she beams with joy in shadow of his soul. 

While hunting in dark woods with Sirius, 
Orion sees sunlight gleam on the hill. 
Through halo of gold light in rustling leaves 
Eos reaches her arm to pluck ripe pears. 
Orion gazes at beauty of Dawn, 
entranced by vision of her golden eyes. 

Approaching Eos shining on the hill, 
Orion offers diamond of his heart. 
Holding hands as they stroll in grove of trees, 
Orion and Eos share childhood tales. 
Embracing on beach sand in soft sea breeze, 
young lovers kiss and pledge eternal love. 

Annoyed Orion loves some other girl, 
Artemis shoots arrows at the swift hart. 
While searching for Eos with beaming smile, 
Orion sees Helius kiss her pink lips. 
Walking to rocky island on deep waves, 
Orion drinks wine in lonely despair. 

Mistaking Merope for girl he loves, 
Orion kisses her with aching hope. 
Whispering name of Eos in gold moonlight, 
Orion rapes Merope by the sea. 
Caressing his cheek when he wakes at dawn, 
Merope runs when her father appears. 

While stumbling in rain storm on rugged hill, 
Orion falls to his knees by dark cave. 
Artemis leads him to warm crackling fire 
and gives him nectar to revive his soul. 
Though Artemis confesses her desire, 
Orion thinks about Eos, his love. 

Lurking in gloomy shadows of the cave, 
Scorpius fumes that Artemis loves him not. 
Shouting that Artemis belongs to him, 
Scorpius stabs Orion in the heart. 
Clutching his chest, Orion stares in shock 
while Artemis weeps and kisses his lips. 

Picking ripe pears by the sun-gleaming sea, 
Eos calls Orion in morning mist. 
Lying alone on sand in midnight breeze, 
Eos waits for Orion to return. 
Gazing in diamond of his heart, Eos sees 
Orion and Sirius hunting among stars.
