[Poem] Ariadne Empty [Poem] Ariadne

Post by Fray Thu Dec 19, 2013 10:05 pm

Okay so this is a poem I wrote a few years ago for a mythology class I was taking... I have to say I am really quite proud of it. It is the only poem I have ever written and quite possibly the only one I will ever write...

Ariadne

A spark, a passion, a love
Formed within my heart,
Turning all loyalties from country, to you,
As you marched past
Toward my brother and certain death.

My hearts call screams, from
The darkness forming within my chest.
You took the string, the twine,
The yarn.
So now I pray and cry.
Are you Alive?

Be alive.
For it is you I love.
Perfect man, great hero, my soul.
I can see you now, rising up, returning
From that hole.
Oh how my heart sings, as if it were never low.

I step aboard your ship,
A dull breeze floating by,
Whispering of betrayal.
But I didn't listen as they launched the boat,
For I had you at my side,
You and your treachery.

I looked for reason,
A scapegoat
For your sudden change.
I then looked at an island,
A desolate land
As you sailed away, out of range.

I watched in awe.
My love betrayed,
Shown the true you.
I watched the real monster go.
Pain flowed,
From the hole of my heart.

But then there he was,
With a bandage for my heart,
And a soft worded tongue,
And a new love grew, for Dionysus.
Was I not pretty?
Was I not loyal and young?

Well just ask for me now…

Well, Fray, if you don't mind me asking, why is it called Ariadne?

Because Ariadne is a character from Greek mythology and it was suppose to be written from her point of view. Her brother was the Minotaur that was kept in a labyrinth. She gave Perseus the ball of twine to help find his way through and kill the Minotaur. She then sailed away with him on a ship only he ended up betraying her and leaving her stranded on some island where she was then found and rescued by the god Dionysus whom she ended up marrying.

Its a rewrite I had to do for a mythology class. The original poem was called Medusa by Carol Ann Duffy.

Oh, yeah, now I remember! I read so much about Greek mythology, but I don't remember much about Ariadne.
