Persephone – Into the Unknown

Hades to Persephone

I would give you finest silverTo glitterIn your hair. I would give you rarest gemstonesTo adornYour face and hands. I would give you all I haveTo have and to holdFor evermore. All my treasures will be yoursInvisibleTo see If only you would swear tonightThat you’llBelong to me.

Persephone dreams

At night, Persephone dreams,Of lavender, rosebuds and spring,And Hades, he sighs while she sleeps,Knowing what these dreams may bring. She will grow troubled and pale,As wheel of the year turns once moreAs if some enchantment or spellIs secretly placed upon her. Persephone will wander farToo far for her husband To see,She’d wish she could seeContinue reading “Persephone dreams”

Descent

When you descend, you’re down below.Your paths keep winding and spirallingYour way lies through the mist, moss and bonesTo the Center of the Labyrinth. When you descend, you’re going strongTill the ground break open and crackLike a ripe fruit, full of blood red,A pomegranate of thousand seeds. When you descend, the turf turns to mossContinue reading “Descent”

The Voice

Among the dead I walk.I know no paths among the living.To the dead I give voice.The living have my silence.Among the dead I dwell.I know no sanctuary among the living.To the dead I listen.No living soul has my ear. Deep, deep into the ground I descend.There, no light can trouble me.To the deepest places IContinue reading “The Voice”

Gradually

Joy would become sadness,As the fall approached.The world would slow down. Gradually. Demeter’s young daughterWould sulk longer,Changing. Gradually. She would no longer smile,Her face becoming paler,And her hair duller. Gradually. She would shudderAt the sound of her nameAnd refuse to wear white. Gradually. She would take to the woodsLooking for something,Wandering farther and farther. Gradually.Continue reading “Gradually”

Call me Persephone

Oh, so Hades does scare ya,That’s what I’ve heardThrough the tangled vines,Through the rippling waves.Hades is scary, sure he is,But nobody messes with me. Queen of the dead,Of the thousand ways,Queen of the springAnd the upside-down,Queen of the damnedAnd the Twilight gleam-Call me Persephone. Hades may scare ya,And that I’ve seenIn the eyes of theContinue reading “Call me Persephone”
