Best Odysseus Poems

"Odysseus and The Siren"



There he is 
like Odysseus 
bound to the mast of his ship
cursive words dispatched 
through aether to 
the somnolent nodding
in their stock 
he avoids full brace
the Siren’s enchantment
a song that sings 
his internal compass
towards her 
she commands and swiftly ignites
the St Elmo's...

Does true love is worth waiting for?
 
Where are you my Odysseus?
For love and eternity I will be yours,
I will love thee for my whole life
Will see no one but you as my true love…
 
My heart will wait for you to come
Even 20 years...

Troy, The Defeat, Odysseus Punishment

Apollo, the archer-god, was quite unfair
Slew Eurytus for a vain archery boast
Mortal lives he had so very little care
Sending Greek ships sailing to the coast

Helen of Sparta, beauty beyond compare
face that launched a thousand ships
She of perfect face , body and...

My friends all dead, Poseidon's gaze falls last
Upon me, broken, clinging to a raft,
He low’rs his fist, and shatters present, past
And future… now a yards-long broken shaft
Is all I have to save me from the sea,
I choke and spit, and swim for shore -- ‘tis...

I try to sleep, but in vain, for my heart beats so fast
Some can rest, and others are standing guard
Ready for the battle, ready for the light of day.

A man that I barely know; is...

Over three thousand-five hundred years ago
There was a story that was always told
How a man fought wars and defeated foes
And traveled for twenty years. How strong, how bold?
 
Many miles that hero went
Going to Troy and the Aegean Sea
Sleeping in hulls of ships and war...

(Dedication: For Demetrios Trifiatis)


Troy and sure war, Trojans and Greeks;
Report mad flaws -- rouse warriors' peak;
On for ten years, on both sides dwell;
Yes tear for tear, yes death did well!


Urge firms glory, urge frames action;
Love of country, love of duty;
Yield to vain sire, yield to...

THE ODYSSEY; HOMER

Perhaps,He'd been dead,caught at the claws of the sea:
The Akhaians had loan him to the whales,a meal.
The battle of troy weighed,threw him out of balance,
Cowardly rugged he'd given in,no longer stance.
Perhaps he'd journey along the route of Pylos,
Or zeus(father of all gods and...

Far from this antique bay and moor,
     your plaintive voice sung for my soul,
and lifted me to Ithaca's shore.
     Can longing's echoes loudly toll,
and invite me to your front door,
     like gods that...

The man was angry at the kick he felt it in his heart they had moved the beggar 
rude away from fire. He lay his cloak aside and astonished the nearest suitor 
with his young appearance the muscles rippled...
