divine personified

“there is a raging sea inside my heart; you can hear Poseidon’s rage and heartbreak.

there are flames behind my eyes; you can see Odin’s heart beating violently, his thirst for all the divine, knowledgeable. 

there is war and lightning behind my lips�" this is where Zeus and Thor both kissed me, violently and then soothingly.

there is a silence in my song, a silence that only Medusa bears; but there is also vengeance; a vendetta in which Fenrir bestowed upon me ever so graciously.

And behind my lips, resides a cruelty in which only Loki and Lucifer are known for�" an unspeakable virtue, a hideous truth and a tragic pride; they all dwell behind my lips, laced in my words. 

my bones are carved from marble�" a beauty in which only Freyja and Aphrodite could’ve blessed. 

my soul, a collection of divine stardust and grotesque humility is where God breathed himself into me�" gracing me with the curse, the burden in which I must carry to grave.

and I turn to you, a foolish admirer seeking solace in my cathedral,

and I hear my ancestors scream with a volume that matches those of the melancholic furies, 

'Abandon hope, all ye who enter here….'” 

�" be warned of the girl who is divine personified, she might strike when least expected

Thanks for reviewing my poem! I only thought it'd be best I returned the favor.
This is a really interesting poem bringing both Norse and Greek Mythology to light, and finding similarities that make it flow beautifully. I really like it because I personally love Greek mythology and I'm reading up on Norse so it's pretty amazing what you've done here! Superb!
