On the Honey-Stream
You have set my heart floating
on the honey-stream of your words
please be real
don’t leave me in the wake
of an amorous kiss
or fickle emotion
my love is tender
and my heart is fragile
say “yes” to my delight
open up your treasure
and let it flow
from your heart
to mine
for there is no part of me
that is not lovable

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
