Fatal Desire-Part II

As the sun began to fade

And the harsh winds began blowing,

and began screeching the turf,

much like glass blades

The sun was blanketed in clouds

It is at this moment that Penelope’s mind began thundering aloud

Ithaca was covered in a shroud of despair

Somebody needed to do something

Ithaca needed a spark, Ithaca needed a flare

Athena saw Odysseus crumbling against Calypso’s might

It was a painful sight

Up in the heavens,

Athena went to the god of gods

To demand for Odysseus to be free

Or else, the heavens would burst,

and gods would go on a killing spree

Zeus send messengers for Odysseus to be freed

And to punish Calypso for her deed

Calypso couldn’t refuse

As no one could dare to say "no" to Zeus

In the end, Odysseus returned home,

and everything was just as needed to be

But for Calypso, this loss left a wound

A wound, that could never heal

She was left with nothing to lose

As with a task that that seemed daunting

Her search for love had reached a dismal end

Despite being a goddess, she was caught wanting
