• Description: This is is about Antartica with a greek twist. If you research it then it will become a sad love poem. This comes from the bottom of my pit-less heart.

Dry winds carry
Eurydice’s cries for
Orpheus’s sweet music

His frozen heart
Journeys so south
To the underworld

He walks through
Hades’ blizzard which
Guards gates to the fiery pits

The lyre’s music
Melts icebergs that block
Charon’s way to Tartarus

Passing Hades
Who cries
In dry valleys

Hermes stop following
Apollo’s cattle like the
Sun circles the horizon

The Furies tears
Burn belongings
Of departed souls

Close to life
Eurydice fades
To the grey fields of Asphode
