The Abduction of Persephone. Sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1621-22.
I call you mine; only when all backs are turned and all the doors are shut, when mortals lay their eyes to rest and ancient gods shake the earth as they walk upon it, when the stars rejoins us, when the air slipping in and out of your lungs is all you can hear, when doubt finally settles within your mind and solitude seeks refuge in the depths of your soul, that is when I’ll call on you. That is when you will hear me whisper your name as if an echo from the past. That is when I shall call you mine; mine, mine to keep, kept on my tongue, kept in the cage of my heart and kept beyond my reach.
