My Gods Won't Listen Comments

Julie, the gods never leave you all alone. They are always with you. Sometimes when you close your eyes and meditate, you may feel their presence. And they will guide you. They will let you know if you should wait for that special person to return. Or to move on with your life. I've shared this with you because I've experienced it. And because this is one of the most beautiful poems about a broken heart that I've ever read. Maybe even better than your well deserved Poem Of The Day. Really enjoyed reading them both. Please keep them coming.

Your pen gives me much concern because you are indeed great in pen.

Julie this is so good its one of those poems you must revisit time and again...

Hi Julie, This is very much in my territory and I'm going to put it on my favourites' list. This calling up the Deities reminds me so much of one of my favourite poems of all Time. This is Virgil's 10th Eclogue which contains that beautiful line.. Omnia vincit Amor et nos cedamus Amori... Love conquers all and we must yield to love! In this poem Virgil's friend Gallus is having woman trouble. The lady in question was a girl fried of Mark Anthony but more recently has become an Army groupie, dashing off to the Rhine border to eye up the local eye candy! Virgil calls up the Gods to help his friend but finds there's no cure for Love! I trust your outcome was better. It certainly deserves to be. Beautiful poem. Well done.
