It's My Way, Anyway. Poem by Xelam Kan™

It's My Way, Anyway.



Time goes...who says? Ah no! Time stays like an ocean
but we'r moving like tides and die; No, no, die not but betray only time and space.
A twilight has gone and darkness swiftly grew.
I lie under the glamorous sky, and listening the night bird songs.
O brother of Hypnos! come and take me to the twinkling stars,
where i will meet my comrades' soul, I too, as they did, speak only my terms,
and easy to hate equally all; what shall 'he' fear that does not fear death.
A wise saying 'if you chase two rabbits, both will scat; that's why I often stepped
on the road, had not been taken.
Oh bro, come, and have my soul, I wanna melt in your freezing arms. It'a my way, anyway.

HYPNOS was the god or spirit (daimon) of sleep. He resided in Erebos, the land of eternal darkness, beyond the gates of the rising sun. From there he rose into the sky each night in the train of his mother Nyx (Night) . Hypnos was often paired with his twin brother Thanatos (Peaceful Death) , and the Oneiroi (Dreams) were his brothers or sons. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Night Visitors Old Hypnos came at night to visit John. He came in the train of Mother, Nyx. He came to take John to the twinkling stars, he and bro Thanatos, ....with John betwixt. John said to them I once chased two rabbits. Would you believe both of them did scat? Since then I've trod the road less-traveled. What do you poem readers make of that? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - well, sir john, there are perhaps a few typos, etc., but i like it well enough. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - what shall 'he' fear that does not fear death. ............interesting; i don't fear death. i rather welcome it. but i can imagine, if i were to fear anything, fearing not being able to decide when to end my life. and fearing not having PH friends anymore. and fearing never tasting ice cream again! - - - - - - and easy to hate equally all.............another interesting part. too bad i don't get it (understand it) . thanks for sharing. bri :) in college, as part of a fraternity initiation ceremony, i viewed a human skeleton in a wooden casket with an alcohol burner lit and sitting in its crotch. the ceremonially-clad fraternity member (brother, some would say) called the skeleton Thanatos. i did not know about Thanatos then. :) bri
