Dirge Of LetheA Poem by Franc RodriguezA 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. © 2016 Franc Rodriguez |
