You were the reason
Zeus came down from Olympus
Making Hera, his older sister/wife jealous
Yet, that god/human communion birthed: Hercules
One of mythologies greatest heroes
You are Alcmene
"the tallest,
"most beautiful woman with wisdom surpassed
"by no person born of mortal parents;
"her face and dark eyes as charming as Aphrodite's."
Lady of Cyprus,
Myrtle,
Dove,
Sparrow,
Swan,
All her;
all you;
all goddess;
all sacredly...
...sensual...
