Greek Mythology & the Study of Soulmates: Plato’s Symposium,
Obsidian sky holds
silver remnants of past.
Wind carries whisper,
dew answers in soak.
Plato echoes in breeze:
Two was one,
once. Singular
units of superhuman
held too much power
within four arms,
two heads.
Homo Sapien:
two wise;
too wise.
True strength
rings within
singular heart.
Durable enough to pump
through doubled veins.
Holds intense infatuation.
Stark lightning strikes
divide Pollux & Castor;
Gemini.
Zeus, father, murders
in own blood
pours from bisect.
Lacerated Castor,
permanent plunge to
envy green ground.
Wet, cold, hidden.
Pollux stands, face of
clouds above
I reach for
try to comfort.
Wave of heat washes,
crimson sky fades in
I stare towards
morning sun — mourning son.
As I stand, realization hits
I begin to understand
continuous search
for finding another self.
Plato teaches me,
shows unfulfillment
lies within everyone.
Universal suffering;
look for the other half
violent tears
from me.
