She Gave Herself To The Earth And It Made Her Its Queen | A poem smellyourbooks 2016-09-20 | Hi, this is a short poem I wrote which is my interpretation of the Greek "Rape of Persephone" myth. Find out more information about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persephone#Abduction_mythDedicated to Emily.Words:There is a girl with violent tinted cheeksWho is sick of her life.In her footsteps flowers sproutBut she wants rubies instead of rosesAnd diamonds instead of daisies.There is a girl with spring in her stepWho wants more than the fates have given her.Her mother's affections cling to her as heavy perfumeWhich she cannot get rid of,No matter how many times she bathes.There is a girl with pansies in her throatThat choke her with every breath she takes.She takes to dreaming when things are too much;She dreams of darkness and power and jewels. She dreams of him.There is a girl with dirt in her nailsFrom the tunnel she dug herself to Hades.Sweet seeds drip down her throat where the pansies once where andThey taste of freedom.They taste of everything her mother is not.There is a queen with rubies in her veinsAnd diamonds in her bones.Her golden crown is lighter than the flowersShe once held, now ashen at her feet.Her mother cannot touch her now.Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/eleanorlfTwitter: @eleanorlf_Instagram: @eleanor.l.f
