Vengence of the Furies

Shadows seeming to come alive Light playing trick’s in minds eye Sound so soft it is barely heard And .. Nobody anywhere utters a word .. Silence reigns with no soul Pavement sweats and seems as glass Cloaking mist flows through the town Harbinger of what must be found .. Eddy of sea smoke wafts the streets Beauty and horror the first to meet Justice is its only purpose Retribution the only agenda .. Ethereal forms in whispers of smoke At a glance there is three Deception at work three is one ! Having justice with purpose to be met out The furies set about their toil … ———————————————— End Part 1 A living night is arrested Air Like molasess a choking hold Daughters of Cronos Have arrived No more tricks in minds eye Venerable ones they stand for right As awful ones they will have order Their Purpose punish Those who slayed Blood debt first of that they say Sisters furor brought forth blood Hair of serpents in dog form Wings like eagles’ grace its back Have no way of changing track Alecto unceasing surges by Raucous screech splits the night Tisipone avenging Presence of nyx Grudging megaera to her right From nyx came Their purpose laid untruths punished today be paid Cry rings out through the night … “Suffering Erinyes !! Tonight’s the night !!” Mournful cry continues on … “Erinyes your torture ends All your owed shall be paid Blood debts first our mind been made !!” … ——————————————–End Part 2 Alecto shrieking into night giving all a hellish fright suddenly their venture made clear they come to pass judgment … a mortal fear Megaera the jealous strokes her hair Tisipone the avenger brings up the rear their eternal flame to avenge erinyes send a soul home without earthly strings Spells and wonders start flying about bumping the innocent and making them shout disenthralled the unmarked look around the wicked start lifting up off the ground Drawing on spells from earlier times three start chanting and talking in rhyme the world stands quiet fine mist in the air and guilty shiver for their sin is bare Men of stature without any fear sully themselves as death is near madness starts as that is the torture Innocent look down life is withdrawing Three Sisters regather and move away back shall they come some other day for man cant help but to kill his own So the furies will forever have to roam ….

Teach me about this myth ... the names spin in my brain ... I never see a myth I can resist ... and you like a high priestess minister with the charming mystery of words to the hunger in me. Bravo
