Theseus of Greek Mythology
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

Mythical Nonsense
Daedulus and Ariadne were walking late one night,
Through the maze of Labyrinth, when something caught their sight.
A creature fearsome and bold, the mythical Minotaur,
Theseus the brave came running by, asking what they saw.
Daedulus told Theseus, twas a raging beast, half Bull, half Man,
I think he went that way, please catch him if you can....

Life Procedures
Closed paths
from me, impel me
free paths ...
.
Blocked directions and
no signs,ordering
seek shelter
insurance ...
.
Amid flying
lost of dizzy,
half blind
I follow in my heart
radar...
.
Entangled in
deviations
imagine myself in
cut cords
as of in mazes
from Theseus ...
.
But if I lack
fresh roads,
I'm looking for other ways
in the sky ... so I continue,
flying to find me
heights ... beyond worlds ...!...

Flying Me To Beyond Worlds
closed paths
of me, drive me
explore alleyways...
.
Blocked courses
 with no signs, impel me 
 seeking safe
shelters...
.
In the midst of flying
 feeling dizzy,
half blind
I follow in the heart
radar...
.
Entangled in
wrong ways
imagine myself in
cut cords
 as in labyrinths
of Theseus...
.
But if I lack
 fresh roads,
I look for novel paths
in heaven... so I direct,
 my fly leading me to
heights... beyond-worlds...!...

A Play For Theseus and Hippolyta
Newlyweds Theseus and Hyppolyta are about to see a short play based on Pyramus and Thisbe. Performed by the Rude Tradesmen, it is a tragedy. The actors are Peter Quince, Nick Bottom, and company. However, their performance reeks with mediocrity. All the fairies enter Duke Theseus's palace that night and put their blessings on all and everyone in sight. Based on the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare
