50 Words For Poe: Cerberus

"50 Words for Poe: Cerberus"




COME, Golden my night
Aristaeus thy husbandry
from the cracked honeycomb
of my broken broken
sleeps my dream
warm and tasted sweet
a token
Goddess 
Apiarist

COME, walk in the immortal
of my heart where 
bees grow from split carcass
bleeding life a New to drink from 
in your hands my 
body becomes a 
territory strong 
standing firm
conquered yet not defeated

COME, see the forests of my mind
where myrtle nymphs put dead Incubus to sleep
to transform his evanescence 
fully fleshed into mortal adorned in robes
of royal purple, bronzed in the blaze of
Apollo’s sunset flaming 
o’er my wet rain soaked bones
I pass him the Light to crown his head 
dressed as King
to empower the charms 
to loosen 
even the hardest of the coldest 
my Byzantine heart of cobalt made marble stone

COME, feel my Delilah heart beat
COME, feel my home

This for you Cerberus, most hated, standing before Hades shunned and feared so
3 heads to be tamed, become 1 heart with 1, n’ere forgotten n’ere alone, 
1 to be loved
to be loved as 1

Gold in my Light becomes you dark son
Dark in my Light becomes your Gold sun

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

“And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.”

Lady Labyrinth March 23, 2019 at 9:47 PM "After you lose a loved one, often you're gripped with a fear of evanescence, or the rapid fading from sight or memory of that person. Evanescence comes from the Latin evanescere meaning "disappear, vanish." Something that possesses qualities of evanescence, has a quality of disappearing or vanishing."

Lady Labyrinth March 23, 2019 at 7:02 PM "Delilah was a woman of Sorek. She is the only woman in Samson's story who is named. The Bible says that Samson loved her (Judges 16:4) but not that she loved him. He married one woman, who was barren. Her name is not mentioned in the Bible, but according to tradition she was called Hazelelponi or Z'llpunith. "
