Hades Train
There’s a place in time of no return where you’re destined for the end A ride straight down with no reverse to break no longer bend A final stop on Hades train where devils wait in line With all new couplets in the flames and nothing — left to rhyme (Dreamsleep: July, 2025) ...

Premium Member The Gates of Hades
The Gates of Hades today I visited your Grave my love I wasn’t sure if you noticed this cemetery is in a Godforsaken place the knobby old weeping willows lend a Ghostly tenor to the site the wind blowing through the trees makes a Groaning sound or perhaps it is just my imagination I am still Grief-stricken since that time ten years ago when your soul...

Within the ghostly fog the gate is waiting patiently for me, who is grief-stricken that you might not await beyond the copse in love's decree~ a gossamer whisper of a promise that cruel fate has whisked away. In godforsaken solace I am left with this cold grave of dirt, wherein my fair Adonis sleeps in unrelenting night, and no amount of mortal groaning will release...

Premium Member Hade's Calling
She appears like a quiet flow of gentle timeless and pure glowing show from a waterfall of sustenance. Smooth skin, angelic sweet of a gift touching my demonic diary memoirs, frozen in time as the pages flicker and re-writes like a newly pressed hand. Her eyes a purity of splashes of green illustrated mesmerizes me with a gaze loving silk sown teasing dress, fiery red silky worship of...

Premium Member Dionysus Markets Asphodel
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...

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!...

For you, who must remain in Asphodel, We weep for you, who have forever fell. Yet we, who lost the moment, gained all time. In falling, do we hope that others climb. And though we lost our little lot of Earth, We wish upon it all a grander birth. Though life is for the living, not the dead, Your lives our dreams,...

Premium Member Descent Into Hades
To journey, yet alive, through Hades’ Gates, Brings sorrow to the world, and to the Fates. Yet Hades is the home accepting all, And I shall catch thee, if thou choose to fall. Then stand within my warm, eternal night, And to all good and evil, close thy sight. Let neither tears nor laughter touch thy heart, And on our winding journey...

The Angels have gone Only devils are left Clouds die infested With fire beset Pitchforks are glowing Coal burning the harps Grace lost in the smoke Tomorrow — is dark (Dreamsleep: September, 2024) ...

Under three, and under seven Under the ace of spades Lies a land I’d like to land on But I live in Hades To get out the easy way Take the shady train And I ride it day to day Knowing its in vain I can make a change to go Boatman gets his fee But its not the shore I know Where he’s taking me I...

. . . and with a haughty drink of Virgil’s water from the River Lethe I venture forth knowing nothing bring on the steps ahead and what awaits . . . but the waters have a taste and some things feel familiar a few of the steps ahead look like my footprints turning to a river I feel I once chanced upon and...
