He Is More Than A Hero Poem by Sappho
He Is More Than A Hero
He is more than a hero
he is a god in my eyes-
the man who is allowed
to sit beside you - he
who listens intimately
to the sweet murmur of
your voice, the enticing
laughter that makes my own
heart beat fast. If I meet
you suddenly, I can'
speak - my tongue is broken;
a thin flame runs under
my skin; seeing nothing,
hearing only my own ears
drumming, I drip with sweat;
trembling shakes my body
and I turn paler than
dry grass. At such times
death isn't far from me
Sappho wrote such a beautiful poem. Part of this poem was used in the Episode Many Happy Returns from Xena: Warrior Princess.
Sappho is so amazing and this poem is so beautiful she really is a muse
In Sappho's time, God is near her, inside her, loveliest poem!
very beautiful formation of poem and insightful poem penned where a true inner self is more than a super victorious hero///
An insightful work of art written with clarity of thought and mind...........................................................
My translation - in couplets He is more than a hero: god-like he is too, The man who shares your life with you. Holds your voice in his mind - a murmuring stream, His laughter takes your heart into a dream. In a chance encounter I, tongue-tied, spin, And red hot flames run through my skin. I cannot see, but my ears pulse loud, I tremble: and my sweat stands proud. My skin grows pale, as white as wheat, My longing is for death – so sweet!
Wow..I'm speechless. Your version is wonderful and still preserves the original's style and emotion. Thank you.
