Xena Poem #3

Callisto

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Intense heat

then screams.

Awakened again.

Damn Xena

and Morpheus

why must you

curse my dreams?

To sleep

without dreaming,

to dream

without burning,

just one night

of peace

is all I am

yearning.

The ashes

once my soul

now my rage

inflamed,

to the one

destroyer,

I lay

all the blame.

So damn alert.

Eluded again

by sleep.

Its harvest time, Xena

"my sweet",

soon you'll sow

what you reaped.
