Premium Member The River Styx
On the bank of the river Styx, Life and death and forever mix, There’s no keeping who its water picks, Say farewell by the river Styx. I lived my life in the land of light, Yet now I cross to the realm of night. I’ve no sorrow for my poor plight: Yet I wonder if I left things right. Was I smiling in...

they met at the bonfire faces lit and lively against this light both looked better after dark we watched the show unfurl they were oblivious to the rest of us drawn to each other like cats to flames alley cats that is we made jokes about it laughing too loudly for we had beer and we were not used to it October football had confused...

Premium Member An Evanescent Life - Xaxa Sonnet
Our life is as evanescent as the trumpet flower of the morning glory. The merest chapter in the history of mankind’s ever compelling story. Various serendipitous ramblings ultimately contingent ‘on quarry; retold to captive audience in tones melodious as silver-tongued lory. Redolent of an evening-scented stock, with a crown of wispy hair as hoary, we insist...

Premium Member Silence of River Styx
In the shadows of the Montezuma mountains there lies an ethereal river Ancient Greeks knew of it, and wrote legends, many which are lost. She is the River Styx. Where your soul travels beyond flesh death. It is a silent river; no words are exchanged. There is a somber feeling. A hushed atmosphere as boats carry away newly returned...

Requiem At the River
I stand in the swamp by the riverbank clutching a coin I have stolen as my heart still beats within my breast It is only my spirit that has slipped away to await the ferryman of Acheron Charon who skillfully pilots his skiff from there to where it flows into Styx He arrives and I pay the price He places the coin in...

Premium Member The River Styx
Below indigenous herds of species’ Soft stampeded tramplings, Profound caves water rivers underground. Roots grow their nether forests Down to a shadow fathom depth of earth. Tendrils leaf out only tuber leaves of dirt. Flooded backs of charcoal catacombs Snake like water moccasins through Aquifers to rise disguised as springs and wells. Here there is a bargeman who For pennies holding eyelids down Will help...

The River Styx
Atmospheres of the weary tears that flow through the river Styx Bonded by the watchful eye for Hades is in the molten mix Cerberus is in his bliss as he watch’s the grotesque gates of hell Death becomes as it nocturnally numbs the souls underneath its spell Eurynomos watching rotting corpse’s aromas of the dying dead Ferryman extends his hand,...

Is There Anyway To Cross the River Styx
one said that some cross the river paying the fare to Charon the blunt old bearded ferryman, while others cross the waters with no money but the faith alone it’s so simple and easy to step on the sands of dismal river Styx because men of humble class shall die the monarchs and the noblemen die as well,...

Premium Member While Waiting At the River Styx
While waiting at the river Styx, in twisted time untaught, from branches of the gallows tree, in recollections wrought, your soul, a beggar’s blanket, hangs in crazy quilted knots, with dangling pearls and diamond studs in dripping crimson clots, midst gaping wounds and bulging eyes like fouling apricots, for wrapped like rope around your throat’s the Reaper’s grim garrote. "It is...

The River Styx
Forming a crossroad Between the living And the dead Down this river To the world of evil Darkness appears Ravens flying near The reaper comes fourth And take souls from the north Putting them in pain Making them go insane Feasting upon there souls Making there hearts, turn to coal This is where the dead roam And call there place home...
