It was the flowers

She decided

Those vibrant hues and colors

Like a rainbow on the ground


She missed the sun and told him

How she yearned

For the warmth on her body

And the wind, rustling her hair


She longed for the sparkling water

He told her to walk outside

It wasn't the same, those rivers

'Twas better to remain inside


But no matter how much she grumbled,

Whined or complained

She found she could not fault him

And looked for the good instead


Like the gardens he planted for her

With fruits and special plants

He cleaned the rivers only

So they would sparkle in the dark


He filled the roofs with diamonds

Sapphires and gems

He could not bring the sun inside

But created the (night) sky instead


Finally he told her

"'Tis time, you can go home'"

He gave her so a final meal

Pomegranate seeds in tow


He loved her with his being

She stole his very heart

In turn she found herself wanting

To stay forevermore


She ate the seeds on purpose

So she would always return

And thus forth came winter

When Demeter her back would turn


Hades,

he loved her,

with all of his heart

And stole her from the fields


In turn Persephone found with a start

her hatred had transformed

it changed to love with the sands of time

and she hated him no more


The goddess of spring fell in love with 'death'

And I guess it's for the better

For with spring comes life, and with life comes death

And they always come together(!)


Star-crossed lovers in ancient myths

Conspiring to stay together

And when she looks back on how things were

Found he could not have been gentler.


AN; I know it's not good, probably just okay (if barely), but it's how i feel the story goes in a way. I'm mixing a few of the myths surrounding Hades and Persephone and telling it how i belive things went.

Constructive critisism and pointers/advice is greatly appreciated and sought after
