The Titan muse #photochallenge
Under dark skies and Luna’s gaze
I pause, reflecting on my fate
for traitorous act condemned, to hold
the world of man upon my shoulders
I burn each day in Helios’ fire
to suffer Khione’s ire by night,
when men no longer think of us
power is lost for such as Zeus

once green, now crystal shrouded
spires, stand silently,
through these frozen pyramids
a playful tempest shrieking

her face framed in furnace fire
slowly raised her eyes
memories of fragrant blooms
fragile, fading, as of glass

In Other Words, dancing…
There was a young lady from Lancing
who on her wedding night could not stop dancing
if she had gone up to her room
to look for the groom
she’d have found him with the bridesmaids romancing

Entombed in cold earth
dormant daggers are unsheathed
then thrust to the sun.

if not in himself, then through
the fruit of the vine
