You should be familiar with the Greek myth concerning Orpheus and Eurydice before you read this. If you're not, here's a quick read: http://www.theriverstyx.net/orpheus.html

The Second Coming of Orpheus by Sir Nicholas Schram

It’s true:
I’ve fallen

For you,

I’d fall anywhere:
Perhaps into the life of Orpheus,
Never looking back in regret
On you, my dearest Eurydice.

Sing you a song,
So sweet, that it should
Never offend your sweet beauty,
My tender amaranth.

For I love you true,
And whether it be
With Hades or with Zeus,
I will always find your heart to rescue.

Falling
In love has never been so swift
Than when it be into
This bottomless pit.
