curiosity

All gifted, all giving, hand crafted perfection

Her pithos lays ajar on the floor

How could a woman carved out of clay bring so much destruction?

 

Hades falls quiet, the monsters flock his door

Alive in the veins of the ruby blooded

Venom bleeds onto flowers; illusionary innocent decor

 

Terror reveals itself to this world

In deceit, flowers. beauty and lies

Her wedding gift from hell is finally unfurled

 

A ghost of hope, the sole remainder of goodness resides

Zeus’ rage at prometheus, punishment or vengeance in his eye?

The balm of the mortal mind, elpis, against all odds- shines

Euphoria

Splendour, merriment, abundance

They dance around the love goddess near the dais

Bathed under the glow of artemis

They fix her dress, comb her hair

Tell her secrets. Tell her tales

All night, all night

 

They dance with the muses non stop

Giggle at the flirts without a pause

Celebration rings in the halls of Olympus
The party blares on for leagues beyond us

Till pink morning skies dust above

 

It is not a bad thing to live it up sometimes

No matter who you are

Get a thrill for the reverence of life

All things go, the good and the bad

This moment may never come again

It’s your world, you paint your days

Row your boat, lost, in the sea of your memories

Flood your rooms with vivid craze

Don’t let it go to waste

 

Celebrate even the tiniest achievements

Treasure the stars shining in your soul, your sky

Like the Graces, cherish your light

Bare your mind out, roar at the coming sunlight

Go on, you deserve it

Live your life.

Raise Your Glass

Sorry for being late

I mixed up my grapes

Did I say grapes? I meant dates

I apologise if my behavior seems deliberate

 

Greetings father

Remember me?

I’m the noisy one, reborn and ready

Here to claim my place

An orphic amongst divinity

 

Your queen looks lovely in rage

There’s no chair for me in this place

Why is that perfect archer disturbed by my rave

Is my madness not worth his praise?

 

Oh sunhaired brother, will a break in the poetic flow make you flush deeper than my finest grapes?

 

Everyone!

Meet my friends

We like raiding ships and celebrating as much as we desire

We’re a bunch of misfits, join us!

We sing and dance and rip apart liars

They set your palace on fire?

Zeus a mercy

What a pity

I’ll pay you in gold, I have plenty

 

With this I conclude my tiny tales

Raise your glass to

Drunken frenzy, madness and disarray

Epicurean ecstasy

Dionysus is my name

And my cult and I? oh,

We like to raise hell.
