LOST SONG

by Faust   Sep 17, 2008


Who's that man walking
heavily on the ground
toward mountains
that have not return?

That's Orpheus,
the real hero,
who comes to rescue her
of flames hell.

That's the warrior
able to sacrifice his fiction
to be loyal to a cause:
the Aphrodite's law.

How delicious are hearts
burning up in the life
that every man should feed
with the fervor of a wish!

Orpheus, sweet and gloomy,
wandering to underworld
to rescue his love:
the soul of every song.

Play your Lyre, Orpheus,
to calm the beasts of fires
that burn every breathe
that humans can not fix!

Sounds the music of Orpheus
in all the saint desert:
Pluto hear that magic
with Proserpina involved on fire.

They are moved with your song, Orpheus
touching since immortal till died.
That's a sacred request
to not forget anyway.

They gave the occasion
to recover your soul, Orpheus.
Only was a condition:

"Never watch back
if you're on died land"

That seemed very easy:
you held Eurydice
to go out of that burned place.

Everything seemed air
to the couple traveling in darkness,
but you committed the sin:

"Watch back by your innocent impatience
to embrace that soul
that make up of yourself"

What a tragic Narcissus again
watching just his reflection
to be punished
in drowned rest!

You have lost your soul,
you can't live anymore.
Just the Erinyes
make justice with your love.

Poor Narcissus son
who dies alone
without option to go out!

That's the law of that place:
"the fairground without return".

    Hmmm is this based off of a mythical story??
    Now... i really loved all of this... but it was a bit wild for me! it is very imaginitive but of course the names of these people confused me a bit. but this was written beautifully. i liked this line:

    Everything seemed air
    to the couple traveling in darkness,
    but you committed the sin:

    it's just so strange and completely making sense to me... maybe you mean something different but i see somethng like.. the couple traveling are mellow, kind of like whatever... but you are worried caz youve sined..
    or maybe not i dont know! but i love this!
