Fatal Desire: Part II
The Tale of Calypso and Odysseus
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
