RUBY SEED

PLOT POINT: Persephone eats six pomegranate seeds and enters into an ecstatic state of sexual awakening and empowerment

 

Defined in the palace of the darkness
My eyes have adjusted now to see
A light that glitters in the shadows
A ruby seed
A ruby seed

Alive to the mystery of creation
The jewel in the hollow of the cave
A hunger blooms and I desire 
To taste, to taste, to taste!

A thousand seeds to feed my fire! 
A thousand mysteries to feel 
Reveal
A vivid darkness
A bright abyss
A brilliant shadow 
A ruby kiss

A treasure was hidden and I found it 
And now I will never be the same 
Of all the jewels I have discovered 
My name, my name, my name!

Persephone
Persephone
Persephone

Oh, the ecstasy of being! 
Oh, the rapture of the flame!
My body shining 
My skin awake
A crimson diamond
A coiled snake
