Penelope

I'm not terribly happy with this, but here is is anyway...


Penelope

Some god stands by me
Sheds sweet sleep on my eyes
So I may drown in dream
And forget this sorrow

My beloved husband,
Cunning Odysseus
Where are you now?
Do you not know that our son is grown
And my promise compels me to marry?

My life without you is lost in weeping
A hollow shell, I wake
Only to news of you
And sleep, ever sleep is my refuge
Where you and I are again one.
