Hades

You , with those green eyes 
That melt my heart , overpower me.
Your lips touching mine 
Your giant hands burning my skin.
The two of us trapped , 
among flat boxes.
I drink from you , you drink from me,
my heart is white again.
Like a dove on its nest .
I lose  myself in the profundity of your breath,
your soul grabs mine;
and walks me through the labyrinth that is your life. 
And I feel like my wings are growing back.
-Persephone, don’t eat the juicy pomegranate seeds ! Screamed my Eng 102 professor from a distance . 
- just fly away !
-He’ll make you stay , you won’t be free ! 
Still I did .
