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.

embalmed in the roots
                                  beneath the methuselah
                                    muffled her still cry

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...

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.

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.

Had left him in the woods to expire
Hidden and fed from Minerva’s nipple

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...

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!*

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.

Hera

Hope, Goddess of marriage
Habit Greek dress and crown
Hangs where family life
Home is loving strongest
Hides as a bird to spy
Happy to please, mortal
Heroes, she has soft spot
