Best Medusa Poems

This Medusa had no power to turn us into stone
but when she ran aground over Poseidon's throne
his anger stirred, and into the sea the crew was flung.
On a raft urgently built of salvaged timbers we clung.
A hundred and more escaped before the frigate sunk
and after...

Medusa Or Sexy Siren, Memory Debates


I felt it was time to just let the hell go, 
walking away while you screamed and cursed.
There was no fight then made just for show
an instant decision, one I never rehearsed.
Whiskey had me ready to battle, fight a war

What have I done? She wonders…
Brittle blue gaze riveted on her lover’s chiseled features
His is a face set in stone
Eyes, mouth, jaw; all fixed, grim – a granite façade
Where has the softness gone?
That tender dawning of affection…
The loving gleam in dark chocolate eyes…
What have I...

Hundreds of frenzied snakes
Slithering from her head
Looking at me
While her gaze wants 
To turn me to stone 

But I glance away
Knowing the damage 
That can be caused 

I met her
Dwelling in a cave
Unaware of most slang 
But she endures
A painful existence. 

This Medusa 
A friend...

Poseidon hurt me,
took me against my will after I swore
my body and my mind to you, oh beloved goddess
He ravaged me like a madman,
consumed by his lust and disregard for consequences.
He screamed like a fool and left me there,
shaken in your home.
Ruined in front of...

Bury me in your own eyes,
For at last we are alone.
No more does my love feed your lies;
It just turns my heart to stone

Bury me in your own heart,
For now your serpent lust can't strike.
Your glare will only cause me to part;
Call it what ever...

Amongst myths and legends shadow realm,
Dwells an ancient evil.
Beneath temples walls, and shattered ruins,
Beware mortals of what lies within the,
Burnt offerings wreckage.
In a hushed stilled silence, a figure lingers,
On the outer edges farthest fringes,
In the dark recess of humanity's night terror,
Lurks a demon a demonic...

Incredibly magnificent compare to the rest,
Gericault’s “The Raft of Medusa” is truly the best!
Represents realistic men suffering at the sea,
Horribly incredible when everyone sees
Showing a tragic incident of incredible war,
Sufferings of men are seen in this exemplar 
It’s a romantic depiction of reality!
It’s an enchanted...

A Greek mythological classical character chosen,
Medusa with her snake hair and stone stare, a frozen
Look turning people to stone, originally a vision of beauty,
A woman of erotic desire, who inflicted unimaginable cruelty,
Her destiny to become an unapproachable monster,
Many attempted to kill her, heroes and many...

Daughters of Medusa


                   
Grey hair, ginger hair, dark hair......
All simmering in an inverted jar,
Cooked and fried
Headshrinkers doing serious business.

These avid Girls will electrocute each other
By the charged...

Serpants hissing round the dime
Constricted notions and assumptions
Come like Perseus 
Cut the head off the beast...

Temple temptress, how I long for your lips,
your milky white skin and sweet-scented hair.
But alas, Athena has cursed you,
for Poseidon's rape and sordid affair.

Don't push me away, Medusa, my love,
you're mortal, unlike your Gorgon sisters.
And though inside you're filled with guilt and shame,
when you flash...

Wicked is, wicked does
Wicked do evil
Evil don’t know love
Stony dead eyes,
with living hair of snakes
Medusa seduction ...
femme fatale embrace
Don’t look in the mirror,
she might be wearing your face
Vanity mask a gender bender disguise:
You can reign inside of her,
if you’re willing to be force fed 
daily...

You have become a sort of curiosity
Your eyes wander up and I watch you
Gravitate toward me
Like a forbidden, foreign thing

I can’t speak
For fumbling for foothold 
I am upturned and reeling
My mouth hurts from shyly grinning

Why are you so beautifully strange?
Your hands perched on the desk...

When gazing Beta Persei,
a star with many ghoulish names, 
be wary of a winking eye,
for fluctuating flames
belie its evil aims. 

Ancient mariners would watch with dread
and chant their prayers out loud,
when that “Eye in Medusa’s Severed Head”
was held by Perseus, proud,
high o’er the heathen crowd.

Sailors'...
