Aegaeon
james h Jan 2021
Oh Aegaeon, oh Aegaeon
God of thundering seas, my true bliss
I long to be drowned by your currents at dawn

A lover of the tide almost gone
Since Emathia, your unknown mistress
Oh Aegaeon, oh Aegaeon

Zeus strikes upon me, a royal thief
lighting my sails, where art thou? Must resist
I long to be drowned by your currents at dawn

My bones creak, aching for relief
My grave shall be your floor, my home further than this
Oh Aegaeon, oh Aegaeon

The salt of your sea I’m drawn
The oceanic abyss
I long to be drowned by your currents at dawn

I lack brawn
Spoken by men in hiss
Oh Aegaeon, oh Aegaeon
I long to be drowned by your currents at dawn

Icarus
james h Sep 2018
it was spring
when icarus fell
according to the sun

expecting return
was another
across the sea

into the abyss
going down with him
the man's love for the sun

floating
in the ocean
there was

a soft strand of surfacing bubbles
this was
icarus drowning

~now read it backwards~

— The End —
