Deutsch: Prometheus (ca. 1900), Reinhold Begas (Berlin) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
This Prometheus
Firegiver
Seekers’ friend
Sacrificial generosity
Humble us before
The altar of your gift
It is feels as though
I walked with the gods
Last evening
Seeing a fiery star
Fall to the ground
And a vulture rise
To clifftops above
To feast upon
Your life again
Oh Prometheus
What price your wisdom
On this terrible day
When godly jealousy
And pride
Destroys and then destroys again
Your life?

OOH! The second stanza is amazing. Okay, the whole thing is amazing but the second stanza deserves a standing ovation and an encore!
Wow, thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
That reminds me, I’ve got a bit of liver in the fridge. Might have a fry-up later.
LOL…didn’t expect this poem to make someone hungry… 🙂 🙂
Amazing poem as always Sis huggggs
Thank you!!!! 🙂 🙂 huggggss
I wanna send you pencil drawings and see if you can make poetry out of it or if you can incorporate it to an existing piece. 🙂 I’d love to have Greek mythology for the theme.
That sounds really interesting as a collaboration. If you’d like you can email me at helenvalentina66@gmail.com so we can arrange this? 🙂
Sure. It would have to be next week though as I wouldn’t have time to draw or make sketches until the weekend.
Take you time. 🙂 I’m very busy at the moment so just send through when you can and then I’ll probably be able to do the poems the following weekend from that. 🙂
I like this piece a lot.
Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
Hail satan?
Interesting question…that wasn’t the intent of the poem, it really was just the original myth itself. I would be interested in knowing more of why you read it that way. I can see an allegory to Gnosticism, if that was your point? I can certainly see the relationship of the Prometheus myth to that belief system. 🙂
