Persephone

December 3, 2021
Summited by Eliana Savopoulos
The mother of spring,
Lays asleep in the luscious garden,
As The boiling sun beamed on her honey skin,
And as she recalls the crying storm-
An aching urge whispers in her ear,
Intoxicating her in a delirious euphoria,
Where the wind carries frantic rose petals;
a gorgeous symphony entangling in her cascading curls,
And trapping her in the ancient dewy forest.
But eventually-
His whispers call her back,
To the everlasting silence and misery,
Of the unhinged afterlife-
The underworld,
Where the endless clock keeps ticking,
And where Hades,
Shatters her memories,
Of the life she once had.
