God Of Darkness Showed Me The Way Through The Metaphorical Ignorance In The Arts And Literature Fields Along With The God Of Intellect Poem by Gayathri Seetharam

God of Darkness showed me the way through the metaphorical ignorance in the arts and literature fields along with the God of Intellect
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
I got a free sample of Dior's perfume, JOY, from the cosmetician
And it has the scent of joyful illumination of the mind
Which comes from study and reference and thoughts and ideas
And time spent in the sunlight of happiness from work and in play mode;

Talking about playtime, I finally came to know why Victoria's Secret had called the colour of a blouse, Seychelles
For it was named after an island in the Indian Ocean with the sunlight playing with its light on the sea water
And reflecting the colour of the same shimmering green
And I mentally made a note that if and when I were to make more than some money, I would present my husband and son with a vacation on Seychelles;

Erebus is the God of Darkness and shows us the way in the night and out into the light
I painted a candlebra showing the way in the night and it reflects the lamps lit on Deepavali or Diwali
When Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of Wealth, comes visiting upon people's homes
And brings the daylight of prosperity and abundance;

Apollo, Greco-Roman god of light, knowledge, intellect, and the sun
Leads us into the land of education and wealth of education and study
As do Saraswathi, the Hindu Goddess of Knowledge, and Ganesha, the Hindu God of Thought Processes and Assimilation of Knowledge,
Lead us into a world of joy and create the beauty of Seychelles with the light of thought and reference;

Psyche, the Goddess of Beautiful Souls and Beautiful Minds, takes on the joy of being in the "Temple of Love"
For she remains faithful to her husband, the intellectual and successful one,
By donning the Seychelles coloured garb of fertility and motherhood and a little bit of illicit love
And I am Psyche reborn as Gayathri B. Seetharam on the 4th day of the month of June in the year 1968.
