Myths and folklore are often used in writing as a way to bring common symbolism to life. What exploration might you use?

Writings

Mythos

You lured me in just like a Siren,

Guide my heart like Ariadne,

Your love is deeper than Poseidon,

Like Medusa —one look, you had me.


You tempt like Circe’s cup.

I’m Oedipus — you’re Mum.

You really got me burning up,

Like Icarus near the sun.


Beautiful as Aphrodite,

Hermes’ message received.

Like Hydra’s heads trying to bite me,

From love I cannot weave.


Strong as Herakles himself,

I’m on Art...

Sometimes

I’m not waiting

For a knight in shining armor.

I saved myself a long time ago.

I do not need someone to “complete me”.

I am whole alone.


But sometimes

I just want

A weirdo who will go on adventures with me

Someone who will twirl me around the kitchen

Who will run the mundane errands with me

And kiss me passionately

When I least expect them to

Someone who can gaze deep into my eyes

Before making ...

Mythos

What being does not

behold their creation and

not thought they were God?...

Mythos

We hear of the tales and stories

Of humans who wish to become creatures

Women who swim the deep

Be turned by a vampire

Have everlasting power

Anything that differs from the life of a mortal

We feel insignificant or weak

Want to be loved, obsessed over

Yet we have our place

We fill this world, make it our own

So don’t long to be a fantasy

Long to be who you are in reality...

mythos

oftentimes, i dream that i am

icarus


sinking through the sea

pained cries echoing from my father

mother


there is peace though,

in the fall

in the pain,


the white hot of the sun

burned

into my mind


this is how i imagined i would die...

Ode To Pan

He is there in the hint of the wild forest,

Though in penumbra, his wonder rests.

His whispered notes- a dulcet cascade- ‘thrall, While his delicate fingers nimbly such rich abandon -lithely- caress;

Though his intense sacred breath -cool and firm-

Is always tempered and in full control.




How his fragile melody opens muscles

to slowly spread the nymphs beguiling limbs;

For in his calling surge...

Mythos

mermaids and sirens

The myths you here are true

They are real creatures

You can hear the music

From there songs...

Mythos

King Midas was willing to do anything for gold,

And billionares today are the same too.

Icarus died by not listening and learning,

Which is what happens to most of us every year.

So don’t ever say greek myths don’t matter,

Because they’re just reflections of our lives....

Peace Is A Myth

Peace is a myth.

When people get angry

And fight over ridiculous things

What to expect

About serious matters?

Everybody talks about it

Everybody says they want it

Yet we’re all ready to criticise and judge.

Finger-pointing on social media

Everyone’s feeling entitled

It’s all Me, Myself and I.


(Tough day, this was the best I could come up with to keep my streak 😔 thank you for reading anyway)...
