As the rest of the crew had been lost,
I, alone, was afloat on the sea;
I believed it was thanks to the Fates,
and the thread of my life* - I was free.
*Greek mythology
embalmed in the roots
beneath the methuselah
muffled her still cry

Penelope’s hands are tired
from weaving cunning webs.
Telemachus needs a father.
Faster, faster! Please Athena!
Talk to Poseidon and calm the sea.
Bring Odysseus home, to me.
Dread dog
Shadowy flame of death
Guardian,protector of the ancient doors
Where in lies the underworlds breath
So beware the craggy shores of hell
Where sleeps the hound of Hades
dawn pulls down long veil
nyx dances beneath moonlight ~
crickets shriek with cheer
"Nyx" is the primordial goddess of night in Greek mythology

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.
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.
You, a Goddess; I, a mortal King.
Your beauty divine, your charm spellbound —
Yet it cost me years in silence profound.
Your legacy — a force that captivates, eternal and fated.
Mine — a force of resilience, your love created.
God created Man in different colors for HE didn't wish any of Iris' colors to offend!

* Iris: Personification of the rainbow in Greek mythology and also
God's messenger.
D aughter of Oceanus and Tethys, in Greek mythology
Of the sea, Mother of many
R oyal naval vessel, British HMS Doris
I owa-Doris, Doris, Greece, Doris, Asia Minor-Dorians one and all
S ea nymph, goddess of the sea, wealth of the sea
Aurora
Aurora rises up
Astride her chariot
Aglow in dawn’s pink blush,
Aubergine cloak of stars,
Ageless – four winds’ mother –
Argent moon’s sweet sister
Announces Sol’s new day.

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
Deity of Greek myths
Descendent of Great Zeus
Demeter birthed this son
Dwelled on Mount Olympus
Divined as god of wine
Devoted to vino
Drama enthusiast

clew
a thread
unraveled
it pulls me back
away from the scene
where I had done battle
other heroes are god-touched
their fathers' powers aiding them
sore and wounded ... I retrace my steps
the heartstring of my love will pull me through
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…
Gorgeously graceful God!
Governor of the Sun!
Glowing with poesy!
Grand music symphony!
Glorious guild of arts!
Gallant global healer!
Greek grandeur, Apollo...!

In this Sleep and Death defer:
The former,
On a daily return trip, us takes,
The latter,
Into a permanent one, without a chance
of return!*

* In Greek Mythology Sleep and Death are brothers.
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.
Thundering down Olympus
Treads Ares
The battle master
Ashen
Piceous clad
Against midnights cloak
Returning human spirit
To the heavens
For upon drowning
Within his crimson gaze
Do we understand
That in faith
Lies divinity
Note: In Greek mythology Ares is the God of War.
Almost alive with light
Always wise and vibrant
Assured of grace and love
After the whole heart smiles
Amazed with such kind hope
Approving of great peace
Ancient god of wisdom

As the most beautiful
Goddess, Aphrodite,
the ancient Greek Goddess
of love, beauty, passion
had powers: love, desire.
Her lover, Adonis
died in her loving arms.
