Greek Mythology Poems - Poems about Greek Mythology

Moon of the Wild

She came in silence where the cedars sway,
A lunar hush beneath the argent trees.
The serpentine wind curled words she wouldn't say—
Just breaths and bow and coolness on the breeze.

Her sisters moved like stars in cascade flight,
The Hunters, free of longing, fierce and far.
Their eyes held depths no lover dared to write,
Each step a hymn beneath

To Eurydice

her steps rhyme with mine
an echo between yearn and daunt
I ask her to keep pace, her shadows pine
voices behind me, slick and gaunt
—the phantoms want to keep her
the light ahead hazy, yet I demur
we’re so close—or too close
panic surged deliriously, in prose—
my eyes turn to my asphodel...
her lost shadow whispers:     ‘farewell.’

the unnamed

ghostly gray petals—
a shadow crossing the grass
I stepped on a name





______________

A minimalist reflection on mourning and the erosion of identity, set in the asphodel fields of Greek myth, where unremarkable souls wander without memory…

A Fool’s Flight

It may be one of the most poetic ending of all
Icarus’ fall, that is 
Stupid, prideful Icarus 
The boy who flew too close to sun and expected not to burn 
He learned that things can be beautiful
But intangible and fatal 
Everyone talks about his death
How greedy he must be to have the opportunity to fly

two bodies one soul

reversed and reformed repost edit.

once before humans walked the earth. before Adam and Eve before the trees and the air we breathe there was one- 


one physical body with four legs four arms and two heads as well as one soul accompanied by one heart. as full of love and self as they could be.

As Autumn Falls, The Rise of the Elemmire, lyrics

Leaves labor in loam, roses endure the drouth’s weight,
From the east, petals peel, in soft drift concatenate.
Chariot’s beacon soars to the glint’s edge of tomorrow
To know, to grow, to sow, to go 

Ooooh… ahhh… mmmm…
Aaaah-ooooh… ooooh-aaaah…
Mmm-hmmm… ohhh-ohhh… ahhh…
Oooh-waaaah… ooh… mmm… ahhh…

Brightly 
Shiny   
Threshing floor
Sacred door 
The axis wobble 
Eternal circle 
Summer adieu 
Seasons

Thanatos Cold Embrace Of Death

Everyone grieves in their own way ~ time will only tell if healing comes,   *           for some, deaths blanket; unbearable and Thanatos is nearby —poetess

The Lovers

-For Achilles and Patroclus, reunited in death

Alone, walks a soul upon the earth.
He stands before a memorial, knowing that is where his body lies,
But he himself has no grave; no remembrance:
He will not be told in future stories, 
Unlike the man he lies beside in the earth: who he loved so dearly.
He stares at the

The Monster He Became

-For Asterion, who only became a monster because he was treated like one

Throw him in the pit where he belongs, 
Though he was not born naturally evil: no one is.
His mother had raised him with watchful, tender care
And now he longs to hold her hand again.
The doll she gave him smells like her, 
So he

Persephone returns

Gray,
Dismal
Rainy days.
Then leafless trees,
As it gets warmer,
All start to sprout new buds.
Migratory birds appear.
Abandoning the underworld, 
And the ruler of the dead, Hades,
Persephone returns to Demeter.

love from the underground

you are calling for me 
with sweet melodies 
from the underworld,
"Oh Persephone come back to me" 
imbued with sobs,

negligently i slip into your arms -
how dantesque of me to 
conjure an inferno upon me.

Sun's Reprisal

The rising red sun
arousing Mother Gaea 
with bright red embers.

Icarus

Wings, gifted to him.
Tools of freedom and one’s end.
Follow instructions.

Sinking My Teeth Into You

It once belonged to me,
but you’ve since traded it it,
exchanging every sacrifice,
every fiber of my life,
for your new world
your new wife.

I’m covered in blood
we brought into this world,
but it stains only your hands.
As I watch the souls 
I brought into this world,
leave silently, innocently,
I picture biting into your chest,
tearing, ripping, gnawing
veins and arteries
as you scream
and

Icarus and the Sun

Every day and night
I sit within my tower.
The sun scorching with all its might
Waiting to melt me and drag me lower.

The dream to escape my confinement
Avoiding the Sun’s wrath to make me trip.
I still have to fulfil the requirements
To break free of the haters’ grip.
