"ithica" poems
ACHILLES son of king PELUS of PHTHIA.
From near Thessalia not Sparta.
Born near where you parents married on mount Pelion.
Your mother Thetis a NYMPH known by AGAMENON.
King MENELAUS'S betrayal the Greeks all cross the Aegean.
Odysseus and PATROCLUS an armada some by passing the CRETAN.
Sons of Priam killed and only Odysseus escaped back to Ithica.
The BESIEGING of Troy in a wooden horse from Sparta.
Prince of the Myrmidon's to avenge PATROCLUS it's HECTOR you cut down.
All Troy did burn weak horse lovers they should have fled and in the RIVER STYX they would drown.

The vacant space upon times ethereal shores
Has me asking if Odysseus has ever touched before ?
The waves lapping , swirling sands across my feet
Leaves me little gold that I might keep
The thistle and thorns woven into a crown to wear
Placed upon with such gentle care
The shores all rock and cliff so high
How can I just climb on by?
Moments are dark , the sea will free
Come follow to the ends with me
The Isle is small just temporal best
Back home from a ten year's quest
He wades the shores and falls to knees
She bends down to claim his ease
They embrace the winds of time
That binds them to the threads of mind
