Reyvrex Questor Reyes Poems

How soon Persephone would say goodbye,
And leave her mantle, white upon the ground?
My heart seeks not to know, nor reasons why,
But makes the most while she is still around;
...

Of all the loves we know or almost have,
There stands a one that weathers all neglect,
That in our solitude would often salve
Regrets, when minds on such a love reflect;
...

Like fruit which over-ripes and sadly falls,
Youth ends, but hope mine mellows as though wine,
As best to culminate these earthly calls,
And please, my Lord, forgive those sins of mine;
...

Help, Hercules! An eagle tore a part,
From my poor liver, swooping from above,
Nay, not my liver, but rather my heart,
And she seems not an eagle, but a dove;
...

As we walk through life's many thoroughfares,
We soon find paths so rough, some traveled well,
While one stranger ignores, another cares,
Some foes flee, some friends from our graces fell;
...

Your smile recalls fond memories of strolls,
Of hands so soft as feathers in a nest,
Of waves we watched, of surf that gently rolls,
While songbirds din from not so distant crest;
...

She looks so strange, somewhat, yet sweet and fair,
My speech she muted, but within it screams,
Some special spell suhe cast into the air,
Along with varied essences of dreams;
...

Her beauty finds array among roses,
Among orchids that often fill the night,
With sweet perfumes, the scent of which crosses,
Paths of wistful dreams, nocturnal in flight;
...

I wished once to be a mountain
Rivers flowing by my side
My feet resting where waters drain
Seawards, and there to meet the tide
...

Humanity that floods the cobbled street,
Engulfs me to be dragged along with throngs,
Among lost strangers, or what else to meet,
In dearth of friends, my agony prolongs;
...
