THE THRACIAN QUEST

TheThracian Quest

         The treasure of her crystal kiss
He'd sought to pluck that gem of bliss
As from the lands of Twilights Deep
The lovers climbed to summits peak

Though swirling Styx sought their divide
He'd now reclaimed her by his side
From pits of fear from caverns of gloom
Soon they would bask beneath stars and moon

Her threads of fate were severed too soon
Lifes tapestry wrested from its loom
But hissing snakes did not dissuade his
Quest within the crypt of Hades

With charms of verse, with spells of lyre
Orpheus sang of hearts desire
Wrought tears of iron from Plutos cheek
Thus bade Hell grant what love did seek

From realms of dark eternal night
Reclaiming now the dawning light
Alas such fragrance of new morning
Unbound his heed of Plutos warning

Her arms too soon he turned to clasp
A stifled cry she gasped her last
Farewell from throes of Deaths orgasm
Echoing the cry of Eternitys chasm
