Deb Wilson Poet Rhyme

Persephone

Gathering her thoughts within
Gazing eyes into the deep
Persephone of ivory skin
Is lost in memories to keep

Her wishes drift like moonbeams
Startling the rippling pond
Knowing it's not as it seems
Desire fuels her earthly bond

Persephone has felt the love
Of gentle seasons come to pass
The angel chatter from above
Rings in the ears of this dear lass

She bends into the drifting flowers
Breathing their fragranced design
Lilting moments turn to hours
As for her lover she does pine

Yet,she has left this earthly plane
Heaven's cobbled streets she's trod
Persephone cannot remain
For she has kissed the face of God

Deb Wilson February 20, 2011 at 4:04 PM this Persephone is simply named after the goddess

Robert Pettit February 20, 2011 at 3:57 PM You have your usual great descriptiveness and rhyming here, Deb. This isn't the same Persephone who was the daughter of Demeter and the wife of Hades, is it?

Dr.Ram Mehta February 20, 2011 at 3:07 PM Beautiful interpretation of the picture covering all aspects, Deb

Andrea Dietrich February 20, 2011 at 2:10 PM She was the goddess that had to live half her life underground, right? I enjoyed your rendition of Persephone, Deb. Love that line, moonbeams startling the drifting pond!
