Penelope, melt ‘way your fear Whisper nothings that catch my ear I have the rage of Ares spear Your husband’s dead and I am here Penelope, melt ‘way my pain If Odyss's had half a brain He’d never leave you to abstain Others seek you for their gain Penelope, melt ‘way your want I’d never take you just to flaunt Odyss’s ghost would come and haunt I’d treat you like you were my aunt Penelope, melt ‘way and greave These twenty years you sit and weave Could it be your husband’s leave Left a hurt you could not cleave? Penelope, fair, shed a tear Your husband’s body? He’s not here! So take me in your arms my dear You smell of lilies when you’re near Penelope, fair, don’t despair I’ve tangled with Medusa’s hair Yours is golden, blessed with care Icarus died upon its flair Penelope, fair, you inspire Your husband’s dead and I do tire My blistered fingers from the lyre Hurl my heart upon the spire Penelope, fair, love returns Athena’s will would not be turned And I, into the shadows burned I only wished to show concern [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 07-24-2001).] |
