Horae rises
Ancient day
Light and sound
Come forth to play
My life each day
Begins with you
When you talk to me like lovers do

At́e and Athena
Constantly fight
But Athena wins over
Because of her might
I’m not prone to mischief
Except when with you
Either way, you talk to me like lovers do

Pollux and Castor
Two brothers undone
One was born mortal
The other of the sun
They shared life and death
As you share all of you
And you talk to me like lovers do

Calypso
The maelstrom
The moody dark seas
My mind wanders freely
In the privacy of shared life to find its appease
And at times I know I don’t deserve you
Still, you talk to me as lovers do

Cybele the sentry
She has guarded the ways
Of many a stranger
Through many long days
Defender of fortresses far gone and away
May the fortress we’ve built out of me and of you
Be kept by talking as lovers do

Hemera the keeper
Of daylight warm
May the sun never set
On a situation forlorn
May our lives be a beam
Of faithfulness and truth
Led by talking together as lovers do

Momus
The guardian of words through the ages
The ones of antiquity
Written lost language
He’s the keeper of tales
Both harmful and true
But not when we speak as lovers do

Nike the goddess
Bringer of triumph and victory
The ones shared and secret
To some still a mystery
I find my crown
My full joy in you
So keep talking to me like lovers do

Nyx and Selene
Two peas in one pod
One spread her cloak of darkness abroad
The other spreads light
Much softer
More blue
Complete happiness found as we speak like lovers do
