Immortal Love Haiku Poem by Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black

Lost in the soft clouds

Psyche's soul joins sweet Eros

butterfly spirit


Vanishing legends

true love in the ancient world

remembered by me


She of great beauty

he is a being of pure

winged immortal light


How their great love for

each other touches my soul

immortal beauty


Do not lose your glow

love lasts forever when true

transcending all time


Feathered winged lover

Great Phanes radiates a seed

Psyche's Soul flowers


Sing upon spirit

fly on a butterfly's wings

when the sunshine glows


Their legend exists

forever two souls unite

to overcome odds


When Love shot himself

with his gold arrow meant for

another's lost fate.


Cupid found his own

A soulmate lover lives as

Heart's eternal Soul





Among my favorite stories is the love legend of Cupid and Psyche told in both Roman and Greek versions in the ancient classics.One of the most inspiring statues I have ever seen is Antonio Canova's Eros and Psyche.The moral of their story is never give up on LOVE! ! ! ! ...because love is the strongest of all human emotions and when one connects the Heart with the Soul they are connected by the Spirit for all Eternity.
