: Elysium Fields Forever by Gypsy Blue Rose
For Dean. Creepy poem to get into the Halloween spirit :)

 

my beloved

time and death will not keep me away 

I’ll join you in the beyond

where the astral realms are

I'll follow your perfume scent

 

I‘ll set you free 

from Gehenna’s evil fiends

and we’ll ascend 

to Elysium Fields forever

 


Author Notes
Elysium = the abode of the blessed after death in classical mythology
Gehenna = hell, purgatory, a place or state of misery

In Jitterbug Perfume, published in 1985, Tom Robbins combines realism with fantasy and tells his tale of intertwined lives across centuries and the way they had to find each other was the perfume scent. more information

The Astral Plane Mythology = The astral plane of existence it's a myth that started in medieval times.

Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem with 31 syllables arranged in five lines; English tanka is 31 syllables or LESS because Japanese and English syllables are different. Tanka originated in the 6th century at the Japanese Imperial Court where lovers exchanged tanka poems for each other after a night of passionate lovemaking. With contemporary tanka the topic varies.
Usually, the third line transitions from the descriptive and image-focused beginning lines into a reflective metaphor, simile, or personification for the closing lines. The subject matter varies, but most tanka are emotionally stirring or profound, and many are about love. click here if you want to read modern tanka examples === click here to read Tanka Society of America === click here if you want to read modern tanka rules
