Eumenides Poems | Examples


Ever After

Seafarers shall be saved, though waves may
deem them dead, lost in the ocean's fray
they shall not perish, nor shall they be afraid
nor falter, though their earthly woes be done.
They shall tame the deep, brave the mighty Charybdis*
and win release to heaven's blessed throne.

Nor shall the poor be stilled in death's dark tomb;
they shall enjoy the fruits their earthly span denied
and reap full harvest as they rule the Pleiades!**
The lame will mark their years well spent
in painful suffering at the world's behest,
for they will revel with the wild Eumenides!***

The realm of death is nothing to be feared,
though sting of loss shall curdle in the breasts
of the deserted they will finally comprehend
true love's eternal message in their hearts;
the special blessing of the ones who heed the call,
the realm of heaven draws all the faithful home.


* Charybdis  a mythical sea monster characterised as a whirlpool.
** Pleiades  an open star cluster among those closest to Earth.
***  Eumenides  the Greek deities of Vengeance.

The Other World

You'll walk
  and you will see
     what remains 
  of your destiny
       unreal sights
 and sounds of the 
         other world
 have penetrated 
    the walls of 
        your exsistence
   a thin grey smoke 
         is rising
    from the ground
          you'll ask and 
    you'll ask again
          what the fates 
   have in store for you 
   but you may not be asking 
          the right questions
      the other wordl 
  has its own 
           rules
    where the fates, 
    the Muse and the 
      avenging Eumenides
          play by 
  their own rules
        light poring 
down from the sky
      signals another day
       hold on, brothers, hold on
  to the chariot 
        which pulls your hopes
       open your eyes and view the day
Later on, you may not               
        get the chance
