I remember standing out there
On those billowing banks
Watching the undulating face of
Poseidon spill smiles while
Keeping at bay the longing of my heart
Watching the ships sail
Filled with dreams and desires
I shall never hold
Slipping off into that longing
Line of earth and sky
To that day when you arrived
All of a sudden
And I recognized you still
Yet you knew me not
Destined to displease you
For your cutting wit
Drew down the rope
To hang my callow integrity
But it could not die
So instead you conjured
From your vicious aptitude
To send me off to Hades
Even as I stood in the
Light of Helios' glow
I was never your son
I just shared your blood
And even that viscid liquid
I have now rejected
The only curse
She could not break:
Wherever your name goes
Mine isn't far
The truest gift
She had to offer:
Wherever my life goes
Yours now is barred
