Orpheus’s Undying love

Thu, 09/26/2019 - 00:37 -- N1sand

Orpheus oh Orpheus

Singing sorrowful sweet melodies 

of his own tragic malady

He sits there all day and all night

Sitting at his lost loves gravesite 

Hear how his sorrow and pain gently weeps 

Over his lost loves grave as she gently sleeps

Gone now are his joyful tunes 

That could wipe away anyone’s blues

Now his instrument is full of his sad tunes 

That he’ll be joining her soon.

Eurydice his odes do cry

Why did you have to go and die?

Why did you have to leave? 

Why did you have to leave me?!

You were my life, my light,

My dear heart, love and muse!

Oh Orpheus sweet Orpheus 

The graveyard echoes with your laments

for a man with so much talent 

Mother Nature herself begins to weep for Orpheus

as he strums his last tune for his lost love.

Orpheus, Orpheus open your eyes now

Do you see your light?

How her eyes are full of delight?

It’s your heart, muse and love!

See how she flies like a dove!

Souls now entwined,

Forever singing together.

With their undying love for each other.
