Short Hephaestus Poems

Hephaestus

Hephaestus, god of fire,
had legendary skills.
Handicapped, and yet still
hailed as a smithing god,
his metalworking skills
helped him fashion weapons
hammered out for the gods.

With a,
Heigh Ho,
Heigh Ho,
Heigh Ho

In defense of nature we go

Like Night's on Crusade

But i fear we will need

More than seven dwarfs

Unless they are standing on the shoulder of giants

And holding Don Quixote lance

Because we are up against

Our mortal enemy

Hephaestus...

            From artifice of moving pictures, 
                     avatar becomes new, 
            proud, aphrodite of Hephaestus. 
                          Appetite of Man, 
                      given apple and eye. 
      Fashioned by self and Mankinds kindle. 
            Wrapped in warp driven bundle.
              It shall lend itself to the feed....

I don't dare to part
With the sole idea that keeps me sane.
The idea that someday,
Sometime,
You could love me.
For now,
You will have your free will,
Your charming ways.
I shant stop loving you,
For as soon as I do,
I know I shall be dead.
Love forges my soul,
Crafted by none other than Hephaestus himself.
The heat of the passion 
For loving.
And who better to love, 
Than I?...

Les fleurs, frissonnent et se fanent
et les feuilles brisées salissent la terre 
tordu et froid - plane au rythme durent
comme des visages rompus, emprisonné d’une peinture

Et tes yeux noirs brûlent 
comme le brouillard de ce soir
dans le ventre du chaudron ignoble
enlaidi par les marteaux de Hephaestus (le magnifique), qui serre
le charbon, qu'appelles-tu tes yeux - les diamants transpercent....

Vesuvious, no, never!
Veins of fire Etna gives
Vulcan, god of silver,
Various gems and gold,
Vermeil tidbits of bronze~
Verrayment to adorn
Venus his bride, his joy!


Vulcan is the god of fire in Roman mythology. His Greek equivalent is the god Hephaestus.

Verrayment: verily, truly

I have forged
light of distant
stars into galaxies
scattering diamonds trailing
meteor dreams sweeping
empty nights clean
of flame bursting
into a million
shards of white-
hot carbon poured 
down runnels to
hell from where
voices clamor for
air and slag 
burns fissures into 
stygian voids of 
inference pulled into  
the vortex of doubt 
shimmering in particles of light 
suspended from 
whence we came 
to where we 
shall return...

“Avant garde”, whispered some as he walks past,
Cacophony around, still he seemed lost!
Her face haunts his thoughts, an anomaly in the lot!
Touched by Hephaestus, an artisan bonafide,
Its deja vu, he Sculpts; In past she hides!
With unbearable ennui, he chisels away,
He’s no dilettante, art is his only “way”!
He brought back the baroque style from time,
Just so her grace and elan could be mimed!
To believe is hard, muse has carte blanche on sculptor’s heart!
