Styx Poem by Rehan Hyder

Styx

Rating: 5.0


Life is good! ! So is coffee
my only chance to submerge
the Achilles within me
in the Styx of bitterness!
Alas my heart is my heel-
never gets invincibility
die everyday

analogy of the human heart and its Achille's heal suggests human sensitivity. A very well written poem 10++

that's why many a times we have to give ourselves to brains rather than heart...the analogy of human heart to achille's heal is just wonderful....succinct and meaningful...
