I would have
Like Medea
Cut my brother into pieces and
Scattered his remains
I would have
Like Cronus
Eaten my own
Children
I would have
Like Icarus
Flown toward the sun
With waxed wings
I would have
Like Sisyphus
Pushed the boulder
Up the hill forever
I would have
Like Prometheus
Stolen the gods’
Fire
I would have
Like Ajax
Fallen upon
My own sword
I would have
If only you had
Crossed a puddle
For me.

So beautiful, Benjamin💖. I love mythology’s drama, you’ve encapsulated the beauty of those stories in a very modern way. I love this poem🌹
Thanks, Judy! Mythologies are rich with beauty and drama. You’re so correct.
You’re welcome, Benjamin 🤗🌷
That last stanza makes the heart drop. Sometimes we’re willing to do so much for someone, while wishing they would do something so simple for us. This is a beautiful poem, Benjamin. Heartfelt and moving!
I’m back here for a second hit, since nothing new today yet (ahem, I believe we are all waiting)… ;)) Btw I think Brandi S. said it best… 👆👆👌🌷👏
Haha thanks for this comment. I hope I can live up to the pressure.
