At midnight, my old curse awakens me,

A million feet tall
With mighty, heavy step

In search of the light
She was being followed by her prey
And had nowhere safe to stay

From the moment I was born, I was different.
I was not like the mother who screamed to bore me.
Nor like the sisters who told me I was horrid.

There was a time Wence hope did not prevail
For a kingdom was Torn apart and

Three took part in a marriage disassembly.
Zeus played his wife like a chess piece.
He visited clubs, went downtown, and attended rancid parties.

Any sense of moral direction
To this day I have not yet found
A feeling like being in your arms bound.

She of great beauty emerged from the sea.
She looked upon the beauty and plenty of the earth.
Grass, green and lush.
Trees, fruitful and sweet.

The Story of Medusa (at college)
By Brooklyn Fellner
I have one thing on my mind
Medusa
The most beautiful, sexy girl that has ever stepped foot on campus
In Sound Mind
I wander
without taking much along
The lighter I am
The higher I fly
Into the unknown
Truly this
A gift to behold
As speed is light
A breathe of air

Together they chose to settle down,
And run a school in a tiny town.

The God’s grew sick of their own importance.
Together they chose to settle down,

Today I lie in the ashes of my own passion,

I sought to outthink my mind, herself,
the prevailing ruler of all that concerns me.

In the beginning, Man was alone.
Until to him Raven flown.
With a flutter of His wing,
A Wife for Man Raven did bring.
With hair of water grass,
And a heart made from glass,
In the beginning, Man was alone.

A Wife for Man Raven did bring.
With hair of water grass,
And a heart made from glass,

Gave her ebony hair and an apple to bite
Made poison her downfall
And a kiss her salvation
They forgot what was real
Now she sings songs on Broadway

The ocean rises and falls with a lull that shifts beneath your foot step,
The wind whispers back to you
Here is a story
Left often untold.
Of a young lad and his lass,
Unusual to both new and old.
The words are aflight
And the plot is afoot --
There! Do you see him?
Dirty, covered in soot,
Up Ahead
Stands a figure
A hooded figure.
All around me is chaos,
the screams from the Fields of Punishment
Echoes in my head.
His hand reaches to me.
A soft smile that says
You're my sadness,
Also my happiness
You're my lover,
Also my enemy
You're my laughters,
I did not wish to love a man.
I loved the chase
careful treading
eager listening
A conquerer queen of my domain

Gada switched for a pen;
Dreams, reality, it’s the same to his editors.

Delicate, floating through sea currents and sea trenches
Elegant, dancing through coral reefs and shipwrecks
Pure as the sun beams that shine through the surface
A scuba instructor in my town,
who says his name is Triton,
claims he was a messenger for a king in the sea.
What a strange guy.
He says he was once a noble merman,
who wielded a trident,
I see myself in the waters edge
A beauty lost to the world.
You lured me under
With sweet promises
And left me all alone to wonder.
Have I lost myself?
Or have I gained you?

The seven seas needed help more than he could ever have fathomed
Modern medusa is technology,
A digital abyss holding the gaze of stone faces,
A transfixing limitless potential.
A plague of oblivion.
made of sun itself:
red converse on black tarmac, running whipfast to god-knows-where
on a Saturday in mid-July.
blasting Lizzo on a crappy tapedeck
as the sunset bleeds itself crimson across the horizon.
Heavy black paws land on the slick black belt,
Every ounce of weight is felt,
Cerberus pants sticking out his three tongues,
He thinks working out is so much fun,
The hum of the treadmill fills the air,
Hades, You were never a saint. And yet still I remember your tears streaming down my face. Abducted, in this deceptively, beautiful place. But darling you were no saint. Voices echoed dripping with disdain, as my family felt the gravity of my pain

There’s a monster in the mall.
She slithers through the wishing well
Waiting for pennies to fall
"You, Medusa, shall be punished," the great Athena said,
The girl replied, "Oh, no! Am I to be dead?!"
Athena laughed, "Ha, ha! Not even close, you foolish girl!"
The clever goddess left in a whirl.

You're hypnotized and you don't know why.
She controls everything and has you in a trance
All of your friends are doing the stone-faced dance.
Never leaving time or space;
Always evolving but never a race.
We see them for their fabled powers,
But inside us their strength flowers.
I returned home from Atlantis
with new armor and a new head —
blades still sharp from the last stoning —
feeling very nearly a tourist in my own land.
My sons,
You have unmade me,
Made me mother to an empire--
Would that the two of you once
My mind is a labyrinth.
I am trapped in an endless cycle of fear.
I am so afraid. I know what I must do…
I must leave the garden,
The only place world I have ever known.
I must leave His grace.
Let us dance in revelry,
Chalices to our lips.
Immemorial, the fountain,
From which springs forth the nectar of ages.
The clock frozen,
The weight of the waves relentlessly presses down
Crash after crash, no air left in my lungs
Petrified, no energy to lunge
No other hope but to drown
But even the air of the deep

I don't know where we are going but I hope its forever.
I don't know what we see but its blinding.
It's insanity.
It's pain, but its so desireable.

seven lunar orbs, dance in night

You bargain with her as she lays her hands on your neck
She tells you nothing’s going to happen for a while
And the very next day, your hair’s gone gray
The love’s gone away
Atlas, no wonder
You've had so many surgeries -
You carry too much weight on your back
You worry that, under all of the pressure,
You're cracking
That your physique wore away with time
A little girl, princess of Troy
Was never one that had much joy
Her tale is of great tragedy
Her life has inspired much study
Apollo gave the gift to know
But cursed her all those years ago
A blank sky screams
A boy runs to it
His feet plod off against ice-ground
It is screaming too
Now the screaming has dimmed
Persephone, the flower child of Mount Olympus, a girl created from rainstorms and fruit seeds
The apple of her harvester mother’s eye, Nature’s most beautiful flower
I’m rarely seen
But I make sure I am heard
I work with death
I warn others of upcoming losses
You can hear my wail loud and clear
In the oasis that cultivated and sheltered everything man conceived,
Were the final clawing and flap of a longing paw and wing.
Only the bevy of nymphs and maidens grieved,
What did she do to deserve this torture?
What did she do to deserve this pain?
Why must she have snakes suround her,
and now be dead, no, slain?
Why did the Hero come to slay her?
Weave flowers through your hair
while we sit in the garden.
To be alone with you,
not touching, never touching,
is a sublime torture,
an exercise in self-denial and gratification,
I would carry the weight of the world

if I could
like Atlas.
My spine is weak
and slumped under my own weight
but I promise
I won't let you down.

Poor little Icarus
so far from home.
Freedom filled him up
but weighed down his bones.
Poor little Icarus
fell into the water.
By the light of the sun
I know I was wrong in doing so,
but I did it anyway.
I left for battle in your place,
knowing I would never come back.
And so, here I am.

Waiting for the day
Hear me,

Sweet Arachne

Sweet Arachne
your talent can only go so far.
To offend the goddess
in such a manner.
Have you no shame?
No?
You say you could best Athena?
My dear Medusa
you with your ivory skin,
your ebony hair,
your fiery eyes.
Your beauty challenged no other,
you were graceful and clever.
A priestess who was pure,
What a mysterious lady is she
Who comes to us only at dark
Surrounded by her thousand companions
She sets out with her horses three
Upon the land she leaves no mark
The galaxies are her deep canyons
You reach for me in the dark
Warm hands knead my heart
You whisper softly
Baby you’ve got me
You hold me in dreams
Is this as real as it seems?
I want to stay like this forever

Foolish girl
You let your curiosity get the best of you
And opened the box
That forsaken box
And now your brethren and children
Will suffer
A fate of sins and evil
I've seen you with such joy.
I've seen you when you're excited.
Now, all I can look to
Are the memories of you.
I'm all alone.
You've always said
That I'm a man's best friend.
O Muse, take pity one me! For I cannot retell half as well as thee!

Sparks of life ignite from my very being
Majestic and free I am
As I spread my wings and sore with nimbus
For today I will let go of the past
Change my life make me a professor
Who do I pray to?
Who do I call on?
My life will never be the same
Don’t Let Athena see my sorrow
Don’t Let Zeus hear my pain
I can be what I want to be
Through my volition
I will cut off these arms
And in their place will be the real me
A pair of wings
To be free
To go further than I ever have before
Crystal light reflects in a shimmering pool, hovering just below the stars which
blink sleep out of their eyes onto soft breathing below.
Those that hide all day come out to play, dancing through the dappled moonlight,
Surroundings uninspiring—lost in a mind’s abyss,Euterpe distraught and limp.Notes tumbled from her flutetoo soft to echo, too lameto provoke a response.Only when sought her sisters’ help.
A sweet sonnet of honey liquor lay drenched in her own dew,
Black strands of streams from her origin of scalp fold over the still lifeless grey face,
Red fire danced the only colour left in the eulogy of the epiphany,
Polaris...so very far awayI see your powerful glimmering greatness shining from the celestial sky.I long to reach and touch the spherical fire burning inside.

Oh Icarus,Look at your broken form;You tried so hardTo be a god,But they clipped your wingsAnd spit on your pride,Oh Icarus,Tell me,How does it feel to beMortal now?
Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and was stolen away by Hades, the lord of the underworld. This is for her.
you need to understand that i am not weak
His eyes rose to her at once:
a girl his age, towering over him,
ox-wide and fair-haired,
a model for that opera about rings.
Northern lights trickled
from wounds beside her temples.
This is where goddess of wisdom began,
In Athens, a petite village and shed;
Where Athena grew up and made odd plans,
To fight for the throne and not worry to wed.
She was like a book that had not been read,
what if God took away the moon?will we ever see the night sky the same or different?if so, what would be the difference?will the dark side of the earth be ever luminated naturally at night?would we be more dependable on light to bright the night?
Trapped alone in the dark,
I feel the whispers pulling me,
turning me down the wrong path,
trying to make me go mad.
Behold! The once sublime and supreme man
Trembling and dripping through the moon and sun:
Like the God -- tied barely to life and land,
Waiting for his last dawn of pain to come.
The life and juvenility are torn,
The dance of time is a rite of eternity,
dynamic and never ending.
These unremitting bodies harmoniously cycle,
solitarily dissenting their vested round.
here she lies, a maiden stored,
bound by a twisted cord
dragged into a shadowed world
to which, against her will, she was sent.
With one word, he takes me in the clouds
or down to Hades, his willing Eurydice
just waiting until he decides to turn around all too soon.
When that happens, of course
Sweet, dear Mulciber
God of iron and forge
Hear my plea, humble as I am
and answer me with conviction.
Because I have a stalwart heart,
because my courage exceeds my breath
There was once a young, restless hero of Rome,
Who wandered the lands, searching for a home.
This he did until he dreamed,
(“A great sign from the gods,” he deemed);
That he would journey to find Delphi,
And my Love’s heavy body lays lifeless,
at my feet.
I shiver
at her ghastly beauty,
lost .
‘Tis sweet thither sun,
atop th’ wavèd sea.
Lone candle in darkness,
from whence it hath risen.
