A river? ’Tis but my tongue!
She rides a current well:
Porridge, pills,
Never courage, 
Nor a swollen will....

Into the River Styx
The golden eagel's
Sharp talons
Jack-knifed into
The River Styx
Catching prey
For her nesting
Young eaglets...

While he staggered on the breadline.

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....

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....

Styx
blood-red skies thunder
a dark boat hauntingly moves
across flaming seas.

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
Take ye heed in life be fair or in death the raven will steal your fare....

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....
