ariadne

is it because when he touches the strings with his bow
his violin touches your soul?
is it because he's tamed the waves of the ocean
to carry his sounds, is this all?

for these reasons or perhaps even more
you chose to give him your thread
Araidne but you mistakenly
have also given your soul

the sails that have brought him ashore
have been accompanied by wind
and this dried all the hopes that you had
to grow calm little harbors

the dreams of entwined aging are gone
and you're gone Ariadne
isolated from home and your memories too
cause you choose to forget

when he decided to leave you alone
on the island of Naxos
at the command of Gods
or perhaps of the demons

you chose to forget the pain
but you are retracing the maze
and your brain missing its memories
befriended Sysiphus again

your people they worship you as a godess
and think your power you drew
from their island and  sea
but have they herd of your husband the God Dionysis?

He's crowned you with stars Ariadne
(whose magic turns grapes into wine)
and when his fingers touch your wounds
he turns blood into music, flowing like honey
and he makes your eyes shine Ariadne, like stars in the sky
