Dirge Of Lethe

Dirge Of Lethe

A Poem by Franc Rodriguez
"

A forlorn soul, is trapped in the River of Lethe.

"
Those hymns of Elysium shall not
Be heard upon my dim desolation,
And those whims of my surcease
Shall drown my days of happiness.

Within a Plutonian shade of Hades
Consuming my soul in my thralldom
Of an amaranthine curse I dread then
Haunting me with no mortal leniency.

O mighty Zeus, wherefore hast thou 
Condemn'd me to the river of Lethe,
For my spirits yearns for my freedom,
And the rivers of Poisedon shall open.

I shall not make obeisance to thee,
Till thou hast heard my drear clamour
Of anguish and vengeance I scream,
Onto the mighty mount of Olympus. 

I shall be awaiting the ferry of Cairon,
To lead me through the nothingness,
And onto the nymphs of the ash tree
Where a heavy sorrow shall fade away.

I implore but one wish that I mourn, 
For my days within a marsh to be rid 
Of an autolycan brume of immurement,
That cast'd me with the dirge of Lethe.
