[The Furies have begun their quest for revenge despite coating it with the flesh of justice]

The Furies have begun their quest for revenge despite coating it with the flesh of justice          

   They have come to make me, a Sea Nymph, pay for my wicked schemes  and Nemesis is at their aid

   I toyed with many mortal souls                                                                                                       I kissed them and lured them to my                 chamber                                                                                       

   Yet I gave them a choice to fork their own destiny                                                                                But their mundane minds always chose the Death with the sun-kissed mask

Foolishly enough I coquetted with them till my belly was full and my Ego satisfied

Suddenly my appetite ceased to exist and the Stars light a path with peaceful life                               

Yet the merciless Gods had knitted a witted plan to punish me for my absent mind

They gave me a choice since I gave clemency to my victims; I was asked to choose one of the two paths

My heart or my Hands                                                                                                                          My hands or my Heart                                                                                                                              I said                                                                                                                                                          “I can live with only one hand but without my Heart  I will be nothing but a Skull”

Alas, Fate has found me lying in my bed with a heartache like some mundane                                      and The Gods whisper                                                                                               

 “A punishment for desiring mortal heart”

At last I think I am showing symptoms of a teenage love
