Achilles’ Mother's Mind

Contributed by AmyLee4Ever on Friday, 25th November 2005 @ 01:35:41 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



My heart is shredded
I do know his fate
I am his helpless mother
My mind is irate

From these emotions I act
I don’t let him perish
I look to disguise him
And be allowed to still cherish

I dress him with gowns
He becomes unfamiliar
All can be fooled with this
He’s not the least bit peculiar

All of the world will stay tricked
I can now hold him forever
My son is my heart
Without him, I am set to sever

The wise Odysseus
I see out my window
He is close to my son
This sight is to foreshadow

The women dance around him
My son cradles his weapons
Odysseus knows it’s him
I see my son now only through illusions
