Euridice's Release
August 14, 2003 � 8:49 p.m.

Here's one I spilled out today while bored at work. If nothing else, this little sting with asshole is helping me stumble my way back into the literary world that I miss so much. It's not the best...but I like it.

*********************************************************

My beloved Orpheus,

You know well

that your eyes are the secret gateway

into my soul,

that your touch

resembles the ecstasy

only encountered in death,

that your kiss

creates bliss

only rivaled by

the Elysian Fields,

and how when I lay with you

we become one

and the universe quivers

from the passion we emit.

But you, love, are poison.

Treacherous when inhaled

and deadly when imbibed,

you cause destruction

to everything near you and around you-

only succeeding in bringing woe

to those who love and admire you...

bringing woe to me.

I cannot consume you

anymore.

I cannot embrace the chaos

anymore.

I cannot let my love

for you

cause destruction

anymore.

Please, my love,

my husband,

my lover,

my murderer,

my hero...

let me be free of you...

I would rather eternally endure any torture of Hades

then be shackled to your blackened soul

one

more

moment.

Please, give me death,

and let me die in peace.

Please�

set

me

free.
