to hades



Take me to your underground
Give me your pomegranate and let me rest in your darkness
Take me in your arms, whisper in my ear and blanket me in your shadow
Let me feel your velvet hair and hear your silver tongue
Senseless in the dark, you my senses sole ruler

And when the morning light makes its invasion in our den let us close the blinds and pretend its raining
And if the world is ablaze let me see only you, feel only you hear only you until our ashes fly with the winds

    This 'To Hades' poem captures a captivating and mesmerizing atmosphere with its vivid imagery and evocative language. The way you portray the desire to be embraced by darkness and the longing for an intimate connection with Hades is truly intriguing. The repeated emphasis on senses creates a powerful and immersive experience for the reader.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to explore the emotions behind this desire more deeply. While the descriptions are beautifully crafted, delving into the protagonist's feelings and motivations could add even more depth and relatability to the poem. Additionally, considering the use of varied poetic devices such as metaphors or symbolism may enhance the overall impact of the piece.

    Overall, this poem is engaging and thought-provoking, capturing the longing for an unconventional and intense connection. Keep exploring your unique style and immersing your readers into your poetic world!
