Mayst tell them, though they leave a sacred land, Where every inch with rich conception spanned, With diligence, in Hades mayst they find A path that to Elysian Fields doth wind. So many burdens, all the Earth now mars; So many pleasures, circumstance doth slay; Enough, I say, of all of this, be done. For what becomes of all your struggles here, But...

My friends, it is a dismal thing At such an hour to pound and ring! Let others shiver if they must, I shall not greet a sky of rust! Let first the air be half so warm As in this covered nest I form. And then, perhaps, if need of it, I’ll lift an eye, and half-way sit. Forever slept, thou fiendish, foul-formed...

Premium Member True Names
Yet know this of the gods, and know it well, That we and mortals form a single spell. Dionysus, Hades, these are but tags, They ease the tongue as back and forth it wags. True names do nature spring forth from: Once call our names and gods must come!...

Premium Member Dionysus Opens the Feast
In rare gustation dine we here tonight! For you, my feast; for me, your pleasant sight! And for them both, I raise my glass to cheer: Let all that’s sober end before the year! Let music, wine and wantonness prevail! Let revelry erase the dry and stale! And light your mortal youth that burns so strong, For I, the God of Wine,...

Premium Member Apollo and Dionysus: A Debate
Fair Dionysus, friend to all that’s small, Rememberest thou 'divinity' at all? Amidst thy congress here with drunks and whores, Does any finer thing escape their roars? The greater beauty lies in greater thought: So, bless the seeker, not the stolid sot! And do they ever look upon a star As aught beside a torch to find the bar? Thou tends thy flock...

Overmantle
Bacchus confronts us in a shady place, A tangled grove, and he, astride a cask. Gross limbs and belly, small besotted face, And lips pursed to the uptilted flask. A buxom dryad, white against his tan, Attends him (sturdy spirit o' the trees) ; As free a woman she as he a man, But gracious-limbed...

Premium Member A Horse and His Philosopher
He saw the noble beast collapse in blood and dirt, Lashed by the owner’s cruel and ruthless crop He rushed to cradle its head upon his stained coat, And wept with sorrow that choked his broken heart. He shared the pain of the majestic steed, He cursed the world, its deceits, and all its sin. He knew...

An angel may light the righteous way. The tap may be narrow and up. It may be a rainy day. Dionysus chuckles. For his drunk fellows, He always finds Kinky tricks To make beer And wine Flow! ...

Dionysus
I told the world about my cure Nobody gave a damn For a moment, I felt just like a god I’m reminded I’m a man That boulder that’s upon your back? It’s a tiny pebble, bro How big you think the audience is To your one-man show? In the theater of the deep escape Nobody’s willing to pay They just want junk...

When grapes ripen and flow down barrels, drunk ancient Greeks abandon morals, roar accosts their ears from distant cave, ushers season of feasting and rave! With every roar spreads odour of wine, with it fear! he is coming to dine!!! wander not far, nor be lured by smell, when he comes to hunt... no one can tell! When in the deep forest all...

There Was Always More
Will you believe What they say about My life and my heart? Do you not doubt That all I know Is drunken mirth? A purposeless child— Is that all I am worth? Will you ever see That there always is History that is hidden; A past that you'll miss Should you only watch For what you believe now? For years ago, I was One who knew how To induce madness And spread...

Ceremony of Dionysus
Dancing the intoxicating dance of Dionysus Ummm well I got that special feeling now Somewhere deep in the mountains overlooking Athens, sounds of ecstasy echo through the Night as a pillar of fire grows higher and higher Feeding the soul full of desire... And by the light of the moon we work ourselves Up into a sexual frenzy, we exchange partners...

Premium Member Dionysus, Apollo - Balance Me
Dionysian passion fills my soul With a stream of life, that knows no restraint, Your frantic current defies all control- Awakens the devil within the saint. Injected with life, I'm lost in your force As waves of strange visions rend me apart, For purpose that has no ending no source- Oh, come to my rescue creative art. Apollo,...
