***Mortal Child***
A bruised moon
hung in a Cassiopeia sky
***
The night breathe fire
as she hung from her instrument of torture
***
Watching me as the celestial turned
traversing the Earth her mortal child
***
I Look to the heavens
awaiting my mother's release
***
Bound to Cassiopeia in fate
for vanities sake
***
My beauty slowly fading
I am forced to face the mirror
watching my own demise
***
With great sorrow
I curse Poseidon
from my place of shame
***
Young men drawn to me
I must now turn them away
***
Goddess of lust
chained to my mother
forever restrained

Re. ***Mortal Child***
Ooooh! Jesus, Brenda, this one kicked my ass
and I'm still hurting. Had to look up one word . .
Cassiopeia! The awful fact that we have to, in our
own ways, "face the mirror." This a GREAT poem,
my friend, unbelievably great!
Maybe I didn't exactly "get" the poem,
but I'm satisfied with what I did "get!"

Oh, Brenda, my goodness this is gorgeous! I learned something new as a result of this beautiful read. I had never looked into the story of Cassiopeia and Poseidon much before. So much longing and sadness wrapped in your words here.

Oh my dear Crim, I felt this one...
To face the mirror and dislike what you see...
I felt your ache in this piece, an ache that resonates!
Love, Duende

thank you lovely Duende yes it's hard to watch you beauty fade with time but to die to vanity and hopefully gain some wisdom instead is a fair enough trade off I think..
