Medusa

Lore has it, I was a maiden of poise.

Goddess Athena had mercy

and I was her maiden.

Lore has it, I was a miscreant.

Poseidon,

Oh, Neptune!

You marred me,

you defiled me,

you ravished me.

Had to beg for the mercy of the mother,

Oh, Minerva!

You knew it,

didn't you see?

I, your child was righteous,

innocent.

Oh, Athena!

You had no mercy,

neither of a goddess nor of a mother

or of a woman,

mercy.

My locks were no more beguiling,

you gave me the ropes of poison,

slithering snakes.

My eyes were not enchanting then,

they were malice,

malice enough,

enough to turn the flesh of mortal

hard, cold, dead and of stone.

I was trapped in the flesh of atrocious creature.

Lore has it, I was a monster.

Why not?

A misjudged victim was me,

a victim of the pride of two immortals.

Lore has it, I was killed.

Annihilated by the mortal son of Zeus.

I left the flesh and head behind,

but my soul still subsist.

I seek vengeance,

from the Gods.

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Grief

I've heart of myriad,

but one's maimed now,

and that's of a father.

Oh, my fairy!

where have you gone?

You have hidden yourself among the immortals,

and my death could only seek you.

Oh, my child!

Hands are empty now,

whom shoul I cradle?

Mind is empty now,

Oh, my daughter, you were there,

and now,

you have left the grief , echoes and memories.

Ears are empty now,

would I ever be?

Ever be vouchsafed again with saccharine giggles.

Eyes are empty now,

where would I be able to?

Able to,

encounter such a beauty again.

I'm hollow.

Oh, my angel!

You have hidden yourself,

among the Gods of yesterday.

Grant me the pourboire of mercy.

Oh, dear!

Ease my lament.
