Nyx (Mother of Darkness)

by Robin Ouzman Hislop — Read all 170 poems by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Tuesday, January 10, 2006


Poem Artwork
O human being,lives, so little
for tragedies so great,
ravelled in the shrouds of nyx
& fatal twins thanatos & hypnosis,
where ever lost but yet acclaim
if not second to none, the next best.

to what mocking echo & pitiful fall
your triumphant aspirations,
but soft ye now, nyx whispers
in hypnosis’s ear that morpheus appear

on the waters of the night.
where the architect of tomorrow
usurps no more what potion
morpheus drops upon an eyelid.

or what monster might rear or nightmare
demeter in the womb of night, nyx
her embrace suckled on each breast,
born of the serpent, twins of the beast
or how she may come or what chariot,
yet the clarion or what hour !

Hmm. I like this as well. I'm working on a longer poem that mentions "The Valley of Nyx." The poem is about Zeus and Metis and is stuck at the moment. :-)

~*~ Robin... your prose paints the mythological themes magnificently!
The painful, deluding vapourous illusions in which Life seems to be woven warp and woof... dissolve utterly away, when the radiance of the Immortal Light doth burn away all base inner dross! ~*~ Much Love, Shivani ~*~

Hypnotizing, indeed, Robin! You have such a touch of classic power and elan, it always amazes, and strifes, my mind. To what end? Ah, perhaps you may have inspired another mind to try their hand at what yours does with such talented ease! Poetize Man's History!

A time warp of mythology and Holy Greek goddess of the night! Blowing the trumpet at her arrival! The pic captures the poem delightfully, Robin. Hail Nix!
