Oedipus

Once, i held the light of truth in my hands

I wandered to the hights, i spoke with gods

I faced life and make it my own

with one swift move....

I looked the Sphinx in the eye, one rainy afternoon...

there was fear inside her,

she knew 

i was her despair and peril, 

i was her end, while she

was my beginning...

I solved the horrid Riddle - 

Who else could take 

the burden of this curse

to his shoulders, 

without wings, without a shield, 

without the armor of love?

I was an orphan -  

the child of Luck.

I was born cursed, 

and yet

my mind has chosen right

but my prize was an empty cup.

I just wanted to learn ...

Who was I?

What was I?

Why was I?

I fell.

And yet, still

I was the one

who solved

the Riddle...
