Hymn to Persephone

Tears of diamonds

decorating her face

highlighting her eyes of fire.

Imploring the skies

'Oh, please free me of the chains of love!'

stars laughing in response,

the Moon hiding behind a smoke cloak.

The blue light of night tinting her face and hands,

despair stiffening her body,

hands raised, catching the twinkling of her tears.

A majestic portrait

a flower blooming in the midst of winter

scarlet petals bleeding out hope for spring...

... and a heart warming the first snow.

surreal poetry
