Lyrics based on a Sappho poem from 700 BC. It was a love poem about a lesbian affair of hers. Here, I adapted it to a straight love affair as I like them better that way.

(Verse 1)
Goddess of beauty, seated high,
daughter of thunder in the sky,
you weave your spells in silver thread—
don’t torment this heart, don’t fill it with dread.

(Verse 2)
You’ve heard me once, when I was lost,
you came to me, no matter the cost.
You left your father’s golden halls
to answer when my spirit calls.

(Pre-Chorus)
Your chariot, drawn through the skies,
by sparrows swift with fearless eyes.
They brought you down from worlds above—
you came to me, all light and love.

(Chorus)
And you asked me,
“What pain now pulls you near?
What name do you whisper,
burning in your tears?”
You promised me she’d turn around,
that love once lost would soon be found.
So come to me now, don’t let me break—
Goddess, heal me for love’s sake.

(Verse 3)
She runs from me, but not for long,
her silence now will turn to song.
You said she’d chase, she’d offer too,
her heart would change, though she never knew.

(Bridge)
Oh, golden one, lift me again,
from dreams that end, from aching hands.
What my soul longs for, let it be—
stand with me now, come set me free.

(Final Chorus)
And you asked me,
“What pain now pulls you near?
What name do you whisper,
burning in your tears?”
I’m calling out across the dark—
return to me, relight the spark.
So come to me now, don’t let me break—
Goddess, heal me for love’s sake.

Come to Me, Goddess (A Prayer to Aphrodite)

This updated version of my lyric poem came out of a discussion with a friend who made me realize I had not then been humbled enough, and at 77 I've been humbled a lot. I am always grateful to anyone who can open my eyes to the bottomless well of my humanity, mirky as the water in it is from my own error and folly. The line in the song to "sprawling on a pin" is a reference to T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
