Array ( [sid] => 110361 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Achilles’ Mother's Mind [time] => 2005-11-25 13:35:41 [hometext] => I am back. My first poem in months!!! Well... this is based off of the Trojan War of the Mythology world. In the Trojan war, a mother disguises her son because he is supposed to fight in a war but she doesn't want him to die. [bodytext] => My heart is shredded
I do know his fate
I am his helpless mother
My mind is irate

From these emotions I act
I don’t let him perish
I look to disguise him
And be allowed to still cherish

I dress him with gowns
He becomes unfamiliar
All can be fooled with this
He’s not the least bit peculiar

All of the world will stay tricked
I can now hold him forever
My son is my heart
Without him, I am set to sever

The wise Odysseus
I see out my window
He is close to my son
This sight is to foreshadow

The women dance around him
My son cradles his weapons
Odysseus knows it’s him
I see my son now only through illusions [comments] => 3 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 25 [informant] => AmyLee4Ever [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )
