Seduce Like Zeus (Free verse) by EAger to Offend
So, into the pit of the sun I flung
and finally let fly,
and let bygones go by
Oppressed under weary sigh, did I cry
that this death I could not die
was a lie.
Now, at last this brutal noon,
upon whence my direst lover should swoon,
begat a thought both too late and too soon.
That property of passion with it's toll so great
that loomed
in limbo swelled so fast and fragile
Like a pin-cushion balloon.
This fauna fantastica
stretched and elastic
was less Zeus's swan
But, a loon.
