mornin’… 9th day of the NaPoWriMo. The prompt is a bit irresistible. Write from the voice of a famous, or mythic character. That gives a broad brush for wording. And when I read it a character immediately rushed into my consciousness. So.. I must
PERSEPHONE : TO HADES WITH LOVE
Mother just doesn’t get it
So busy making the earth right
Nurturing and gathering
Preparing for winter white
She thinks that all the petals
That bloom from my every step
Mean something special
That the right Love will find me
Only, when I hear your call
The rough rasp of that deep voice
Vibrating beneath the very earth
That blooms with my every step
I quiver with longing and desire
I find where the earth yawns wide
And the heat whispers ‘come to me’.
I slide into that open mouth
Into the heart and soul of Hades
Where my mother voice de-solves
Into the lava melt song of you my love
Where Hell holds me in your embrace
It is my season of love and lust
My giving to the fire of earth
The seed of me planted deep
For resurrection to my Spring
When my beloved, I must part from
your dark home of heat and fire
And my feet make way to the surface
To flower a path across the Earth
I lay my ear to the dark earth listening
For the soft words of your love, the beg of you
calling me back to your fiery want
I quiver for autumns return
To fall again into the arms of your love
