*********when Love Trigger Downfall
((In the Greek mythology, Adonis, the handsome youth loved by both Aphrodite and Persephone. Both are daughter of deity Zeus. In modern parlance the name ‘Adonis’ is frequently used as an allusion to an extremely attractive youthful male. I have equipped/ instrumentated here just the names ‘Adonis’ ‘Aphrodite’ ‘Persephone’ and a moth.))
APHRODITE
Hey, what you intend to do!
Come on baby! You know I am bestowed upon
Unblemished beauty!
You can’t keep away yourself from my heavenly love!
You sweet baby come on quick!
You are mine hence my love shine!
ADONIS
Yea, but…! I have some ‘ifs and buts’….!
APHRODITE
What….! Let your ‘‘ifs and buts’go to hell! -Aphrodite sizzling!
ADONIS
I have seen the divine love in her eyes too….
I mean, Persephone…..She is. ……..!
PERSEPHONE
Yes my dear, I swear, God above, You are my Love!
I see you all over all the time! I am nothing without you!
Look look! No pretension! My beauties are open before you sweet Ado!
ADONIS
Yea, but…! I have some ‘ifs and buts’….!
PERSEPHONE
What….! Let your ‘‘ifs and buts’go to hell! - Persephone sizzling!
A valiant moth joined there who has pleasing powdery wings. It was a fine evening!
Told Moth
Oh gosh! Hey Ado! You’r here! And they….!
How it is!
Without milk no cheese, no cheese! Oh sweet breeze!
Angry Adonis replied
You stupid moth! Get lost you disturbing element!
Smiled moth, told- okeh dear friend! I am going, there is a fire feast on the other side of this hill. I am stupid huh! But you dear…..ah……!
ADONIS
Go go! Fly quick! Alike nymphs the flames are waiting for you!
The moth has gone.
Adonis can not decide what to do! It’s not possible for him to cut his love into two! The one is for one, He thinks!
Next morning, birds singing, a bit pinging, the bell ringing! Adonis got up from sleep and shocked- he is no longer a man….a chromosomal mutation occurred! How and why? No answer! He is nothing but a Moth now; the nocturnal insect!
