Odysseus Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 After standing on the shore of Ogygia for the last year and a half, I've finally started my journey home. Calypso and I have parted ways. Our final words had the love and respect for our destiny's apart. We were both islands for each other. I didn't need to say those words of love buried in our hearts. It was there. Now my raft is drifting slowly away from her. Soon she will be just a point on the horizon. The sea rises up in front of me to challenge my will again, but I know I will persevere until I can again see the shores of my beloved Ithaca. Those material things which are reminders of my time with Calypso, will be burned on the alter of truth, their ashes sent into the stars uncounted. Their energy sent back into the cosmos I'm finally truly healing from this love affair. Link to comment

BellaDonna Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi and wecome to enotalone. I moved this thread to the Poety forum, since it appears to me more of an artistic form of self-expression, and rather than a post looking for advice. Cool metaphor by the way. BellaDonna Link to comment
