If No One Will Listen

If No One Will Listen

A Poem by Sheik
"

Orpheus falls in love with Eurydice, the only one who loves him not only for his joyful music. When she dies from a snake bite right after their wedding, he goes to the underworld to bring her back.

"

On a summer’s day,

music starts to play

from a nice, young lad.

It was all he had.

 

Dancing till the night,

now in firelight,

are the others there.

Did they even care?

 

And then he sees her.

She is his only cure.

His music grew,

for now, he was sure.

 

On their wedding day,

music starts to play

from a nice, young lad.

She was all he had.

 

Dancing in the light,

now in bright sunlight,

are the others there.

Would they really fair?

 

Death took her away,

on that sunny day.

 

Where there is no day,

music starts to play

from a nice, young lad.

It was all he had.

 

Dancing in the dark,

now inside his heart,

are the bluest flames.

Could they ever spark?

 

Then he saw her.

She was his only cure.

His music died,

for he was not sure.

If our hero was once who might brave the underworld, and agree to walk with out turning back, would this man be tempted?
