Persephone
Gathering her thoughts within
Gazing eyes into the deep
Persephone of ivory skin
Is lost in memories to keep
Her wishes drift like moonbeams
Startling the rippling pond
Knowing it's not as it seems
Desire fuels her earthly bond
Persephone has felt the love
Of gentle seasons come to pass
The angel chatter from above
Rings in the ears of this dear lass
She bends into the drifting flowers
Breathing their fragranced design
Lilting moments turn to hours
As for her lover she does pine
Yet,she has left this earthly plane
Heaven's cobbled streets she's trod
Persephone cannot remain
For she has kissed the face of God
