She rides a current well:
Porridge, pills,
Never courage,
Nor a swollen will....

Sharp talons
Jack-knifed into
The River Styx
Catching prey
For her nesting
Young eaglets...

While he staggered on the breadline.
When he crossed the Styx
Gold and diamond ran for cover!...

Styx Reversed
unchained from death’s grip
getting away from a dark pit
rowing across the river Styx
back to the world of the living
freed at last, born once again....

A Spirit's Lullaby
Moonlight beckons the stray souls
conjured from pain and lost in time
Guided by memories and kins' yowls
they meld in styx with a blissful chime....

blood-red skies thunder
a dark boat hauntingly moves

the passage solemn;
it will cost you for the ride.
Charon does not work for free.

O Waiter At the River Styx
Oh waiter
at the river styx,
striking down the might and meek.
Thou scythe
is camped outside my door;
waiting...
as with us all.
To take the good ahead of schedule....

The trickster has played his tricks leaving your bones to bleach

The Ancient River Styx
Young branches of
The sycamore tree,
Brushes the pastel blue sky
Then, I released these magic stones into
The hands of the sky, and
Witness the ripple reflection of
The ancient River Styx...

Elusive Death
oh elusive death!
I am biding for your encounter
one feet already in hell fire
my beloved departed in wait on the other side
no bonds to hold me back
delay not my friend beyond the styx
my simple request is no allusive....
