Persephone and the Pomegranate Seeds


Persephone and the Pomegranate Seeds


Persephone they say

On that fateful day

When Hades forever bride she became

Ate three lonely seeds,

Three lonely blood-red seeds.


But wonder you may

On that fateful day

Where Persephone did attain

The lonely crimson seeds,

The pomegranate seeds.


Some storytellers say

It was a muse named Empathy

Forced to wear Hades chain.

A melancholy shade,

A lonely dark-souled shade.


It was then that Empathy

Gave the pomegranate to Persephone

Knowing the lonely girl’s fate

That Hades forever bride she’d be,

That she’d be trapped like Empathy.


And on that fateful day

The dirty trick been played,

Empathy no longer a shade

Winked out after the deed

That damned Persephone

And left the world without Empathy.
