Hades & Persephone
A poem about loving someone who is depressed
Hades is chained to the Underworld,
Never emerging from the darkness.
One day, he must have wondered what was there in the sunlight,
When he found Persephone in a field of flowers.
She was there in the light of springtime.
Hades desired for Persephone to stay with him forever,
To light the darkness of the Underworld,
But the darkness devoured her.
How can they be in love,
When she walks barefoot in the flowers,
And he sees himself as a prisoner?
She flies in the air like a bird,
Never staying in one place.
Why did he become so paralysed?

My third eye is open. I have a white aura. I see things sometimes (I can see angels and demons).
I write poems because I feel my feelings very deeply.
