Hades: Through the Eyes of Persephone

In the realm between the darkness of the underworld in the cast of shield illumination of light
Between the breath of life I give barren fields their beautiful birthright

In the coven I sit upon damnation I am the goddess who sits on the throne abducted of thee  beyond the sacred veil
The lover of thee shook earth to ransom me to give immortals the scrolls of mouth to confess of my sultry tales

Flowers of scented narcissus I picked by hand
The King of Olymous gave consent to give of desires from the fountain of my sacredness to this immortal who rules man

 
Handsome, debonair, chariots riding from the pit onto fertile land
Chasten rapture counseled in hunger arms bathing the cradle of my body twas night
A hostage upon bounded duty to please unto my silken unclothed to him for a ravenous sight
I am Goddess Persephone and he stands of depravity, Hades , Dark King  and ruler of the underworld
Sacrifices unto him dark gifts of infinity with the faces deterred in the covenant of Dante never to escape upon this wraith when unfurled
Whispered words to quiet the thistles to crown elongation of a soothing head
Sweet liaison shifting of its granular rapture found upon the throne of our marriage bed

Beguiling as I dance in with chants of immortal love
To see earth and speak of thee is a portal he hath given to me to raise above
Coveting thee seat of my honor, I permit unjustly to share in my weakening bedded desires
Spirit to conventions, idolized mint in feverish of scorned plucked to slither in my lair of fire
Come unto my Hades in the obscurity of its enriched void of dark
Write my name upon your lips as eyes will see longing of obsession where ecstasy sparks

Come, my Hades, lay thy brow upon my breast and set aside the burdens of kingship and rest
To the barren soil of each thrust, upon Spring I render as I remain wet
Love's entwined upon the soft clash of the hardened thrash
Fertile of lover's embrace
As my sacred rose you open upon its blooming pollination of my ambrosia taste

Beneath immortal skies our destinies remain aligned
Bound by pomegranate vows and the passage of time
For where thy kingdom of shadow and my season of awakening meet as one
The Underworld and Spring forever dance beneath the same sun
And although the ages turn and mortal voices fade from view
I remain Persephone, beloved Hades, forever bound to you  

Immortal God Week

Hades, Dark King of the Underworld, is both the ruler and namesake of the realm he governs, which is Hades. He was a Dark King feared by mortals, respected by Gods, and forever bound to Persephone, his kingdom rests beyond the fields of life where shadow, destiny, and eternity converge. Today's poem is spoken through the voice of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld.

Author's Note

The tale of Hades and Persephone remains one of the most powerful and enduring stories within Greek mythology. Beyond the common retelling lies a complex legend of destiny, sovereignty, death, rebirth, and the eternal balance between darkness and light. For those unfamiliar with their story, I encourage you to explore the mythology behind these immortal figures before reading further. Their bond is not merely one of love, but of power, loyalty, sacrifice, and an immortal union that has endured throughout the ages.
