On Mythology and Heroes, Part One Medusa, Monster Hideous Beyond Comprehension
On Mythology And Heroes, Part One
Medusa, monster hideous beyond comprehension
All is there within Medusa's abhorrent gaze
hiding in black-realms wherein monsters daily graze
beyond that abyss, the roaring of aching screams
from there impossible to see sun's golden beams
pathways, hideous corridors painted with blood
where dead love and dying dreams may forever flood!
Eternal night, chambers of horror and wicked glee
gripping fears that causing its victims to flee
deeper into tangles of that consuming maze
'til desperation stones heart, gifting pain's lost craze
all blades of dark in her evil vicious stare
depths of unmerciful cold- of that icy stare!
Hopelessness, terrors searing into all within
casting stony shadows into hearts of lost men
warriors sent to slay that so cursed to monster be
set as solid stone as they look at her to see
Fate such victims into her monstrous abode cast
evil incarnate, beast that set men's souls aghast!
All is there within Medusa's abhorrent gaze
hiding in black-realms wherein monsters daily graze
beyond that abyss, the roaring of aching screams
from there impossible to see sun's golden beams
pathways, hideous corridors painted with blood
where dead love and dying dreams may forever flood!
