She sat reflecting beneath
the moon's halcyon light,
the darkness entrances
and seems to call from
somewhere beyond,
and it makes her heart
stop her breath catches
torn between fear and
forbidden longing.
Sweet daughter of light,
receiver of life, whose beauty
shines within the sunlight,
and yet there stirs deep within
her alabaster breast the desire
for knowledge hidden unmeant
for one so fresh in youth,
the maiden crowned in daffodils.
But alas when she find herself
alone, to sit beneath a moon
bathed field, she hears the whisper
on the wind, calling her name,
speaking to that spot within her soul,
and she throbs to learn the mysteries
that only death can provide,
to go gentle into that eternal
night.
She sings a quiet hymn
to her lover concealed,
that may she fall away into his
never ending embrace,
worlds apart they share a
secret mind, and awaits she does
for the day when he will draw her
away into his realm of darkness
unknown that so tempts
even as she trembles in fear.

Literature
Persephone
Daughter of Nature,
Radiant blossom,
Beauty in tangible form.
Truly a goddess,
She could rule any kingdom she desired,
But never could she conquer love.
Looking up
With pleading eyes
Wide and sparkling with hope,
She begs the heavens
Not to cry for her,
Not to waste a raindrop
Or cast a cloud of doubt.
She was willing to go to hell
Just to be with him.
She was willing to leave
Her pulsating aura of light
Just to soften his darkness
Ever so slightly.
She begs for someone to listen,
The choice was all her own.
She was not forced,
Except by that force,
So compelling, penetrating,
Called love.
She was willing to lose it
Literature
Persephone
Her voice is the howl of the cold winter wind
The ice of her skin makes any man cringe
The dark of her hair blots out the sun
Persephone is come; winter has begun.
Down from above, to sit by her King
To her gown the shadows cling
Daughter of life, to death made wife
Leave behind the stillness of a dark winter night.
When she walks the Earth, the green things grow,
Men rejoice, the river Styx runs slow,
And who would think that her evil groom
Would, in his heart, for her make room?
Who could know the loneliness he feels?
Who knows that at her sight, he instantly heals?
Is it possible for death to feel love?
To mourn for his wife

Hades
No mortal can truly comprehend the desolation I felt when I saw my beloved Kore laying unconscious at my feet, just inches from the stairs that lead to the Dungeon of the Damned. I had lost her, I was sure of it. I tried to convince her not to visit that damnable place, but no matter what I said she wouldnt hear it. Over the last year as we were getting to know each other I came to understand that she had indeed inherited her mothers stubbornness. Thats one of things that made me fall in love with her. Yes, I truly loved her. I loved her more than life itself, and

The most common portrayal of Persephone is of being this innocent victim, kidnapped and taken by force by the evil Hades, who wished to fulfill his own desires. I wanted to offer another possible view of her.
