Hermes the Psychopomps
Hermes broke his Father (Zeus) and Mother’s (Maia) heart
when he intervened upon seeing a green eyed blonde woman
of Celtic origin, on her way to the afterlife, breaking all the rules,
displeasing Hades whom showered his own desires upon her,
before forcing Zeus to adhered to protocol.
These are Hermes own words as if he had lived in the 21st century
As I dream upon this broken wave, like my life turning so sad, I miss the one and only Holy Grail, the one I loved and I had, like the sunrise it was, my body next to hers, yes renewed every single day, my age to be at last not deemed so bad. I'll never be able to match with words the moments I cherished with her, only I remember those lips that sparkled in return, and her love given to one starved for oh so long.
a light from the north
the claw of hades doth chain
love the only key
Oh yes her drive is mine ... together we would rock and we would roll, she says never, we would grow to hate us, had that been our role. But I’m a fighter believe in what is right, and this my long legged blonde, and I, in flight from my father’s wrath, love each other so much, a match on earth and when I released my love inside, it felt oh so right.... I will die a mortal, and she my secret, no guilt have I, no religion to stuff me up. Now I have known a human goddess from the north, her eyes those of the midnight sky, something so special so unique. She'll never have to worry about life upon this earth, she made her mark in more ways than one, life to two, arr, yet no, and life to three the other is me
our time together
brief upon the sunlit earth
underworld awaits
