“Erato” is a tender love poem in the series Mosaics by the Cyprus poet Chris Zachariou
Erato - the muse of the poetry of love

Lonely child


painting the meadow green

hands reaching for the moon

writing words to love songs


Only child


dreaming of a lover

dancing with his ghost at midnight—

summon your eight siblings

to teach a man the art of rhyme


Beautiful child


the sweet sin of wanting you

the sweetest sin of loving you

won't you let me stay with you tonight


Part of the mosaics cycle of poems
