Persephone, darling, come to me <br />Dance on the Earth in jollity <br />And let spring reign supreme once more. <br />I know you’re bound to Hades’ shore, <br />But surely you could serve the time on land <br />With dandelion chains binding your hands? <br />(If Hades says no, show him a bondage magazine- <br />The gods are rough, he’ll like that sort of thing.) <br />Regardless of what it takes to come, <br />Please do so, and bring back the sun <br />To toast musty car seats and warm the day. <br />Right now everything is grey, <br />And wet, and so damn depressing <br />That daytime and nightmares begin coalescing <br />Into a sludge the likes of which the gods never dreamed- <br />Please, gods, save us, damnèd Queen.<br /><br />maddie bird<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dandelion-chain/
