Premium MemberEffort and Time

Like Moses in the desert, I have wandered.
My destination nowhere in my sight.
I’m searching for the joy I have been promised
But hampered by the seeming lack of light.
Like Icarus of old, I am a pris’ner.
I’m chained here to the ground by gravity,
And haunted by the things I can’t accomplish,
The dreams of places I will never

   Hercules peered out on the dance floor
     spotted beautiful Delilah holding court

   Scanned the room for Samson but 
     saw a chair where hair'd been cut

The Migthy Power of Hercules

what
Jezebel who lived
upon 
the 
ancient biblical world
her 
green eyes, makeup
wearing a black velvet dress
and ruby red shoes 
deceived and betrayed
the
supernatural power and strength 
of 
the 
mighty Hercules
while
shearing
the
locks of hair
that
rest
upon
his graceful head
thus
unlocking 
the 
secret of his
supernatural strength and power
while
causing him
to 
weaken and fall to his knees
the
mighty power of Hercules
you Jezebel!

Hercules
Hero mortal of Greek Mythology
Hera his mother jealous of him 
Had left him in the woods to expire
Hidden and fed from Minerva’s nipple
He is imbued with strength
Hence “The Strongest of all Gods”
His twelve labors a penance fulfilled

Handsomely heroic
Half human heavyweight
Hera hates, harries him
Hacks hideous hydras
Hunts horrid Hades hound
Hippolyta heister
Hitches honey, Hebe

Premium MemberHercules and Adonis Serenade Devout

Hercules was serenading his sweetie from a wobbly willow chair.
His melodic notes of love swoon floated mightily in the air.
His voice was on fire today, all the females better watch out.
Serenading a sisterly trio – Ms. Meow, Ms. Prayer and Ms. Devout.

What are you yowling about? Asked a grouchy tom name of Pete.
Not ever friends,

The Stephen Hercules Shaw Memorial Bench

Stephen Hercules Shaw 
Much loved, much missed 
Born the same year as you. 
I rest on the bench 
your mother bought, 
your brother bought, 
your friends bought, 
to remember 
and slowly forget. 
 
The ducks half swim, half skate 
Over the half-frozen half-winter lake 
as I, half blind, half lame, half finished 
watch ripples climb

Of The Famed Labors Of Hercules
ninth poet, poet dedication series, Emma Lazarus

Through Time's mesmerizing and meandering paths,
Colossus of heroic worship rightly praised,
He that vented his strength and fought with half-god wrath;
Mighty Son of Zeus, his feats that this world amazed,
Carved in stone, sculptor Vincenzo de’ Rossi hand
Paid for by Cosimo I de’ Medici's gold,
A Titan

Ain'T No Hercules


The Son of God 
ain’t no Hercules,
Jesus Christ 
ain’t no Greek myth story
His crucifixion
is real as real can be
And His resurrection
is a gospel tale
the whole world continues to read
The feats of Hercules
is a made up story
The miracles of Jesus Christ
multiplies, 
and continues to feed
The Son of God
ain’t no son of Zeus fairytale fable
The power of

Atlas Stones Hercules Pillars

Always nice to be away
From people like you
Who are stressing me apart,
Don’t you think so?

Whatever,
Just in time.

I was thinking deeply about
All that happened in my life,
Since I met you, I will never forgive,
It hurts too much,
Hope this party will remove such thoughts.

Have a great time,
Comments and feelings reserved,
Showering me with your weekend lies,
Coz you are

Hercules

You should see my little pug.
He loves to play and sit on his rug.

He's quite a little guy
the apple of my eye.

He's so smart too
the things he does would amaze you.

He loves to nuzzle my neck and chin.
He is so sweet I can't help but grin.

My little pug
as snug as a bug.

Hercules (sweet and adorable)
