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...

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...

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. ...

Premium Member Dandelion Wishes In Hades
Soft dandelion wishes in Hades sprinkling passion softly into the wind; Longing for love not dependent on fees, to experience this the rules I’d bend; Just a little taste of this oasis, when is this unquenchable thirst to end? Two wildflowers in a field of lilac, I will always find a way to come back. ...

To many this might seem foolish But would you lend me your ear This is not of my own ideas I was raised up on But in seeking the guidance of His word Why do we preach people into Hades Are that they need to be good not to go We can not be good in our own will That gives...
