Eleusinian – Poem by Gabriela Marie Milton Beneath the silence of the heated rocks, Demeter harvests her lost tears, Tonight, you will be hers, my dear, Your body arting stones and souls The ears of the corn will grow in silence, Secrets of red sweetened lips Falling to your knees You’ll drink from my cupped palms The supplication prayers Of those you’ve never met Unknowing who I am, The goddess’s veil will fall— Revealing all that once was hidden, Blooms of blushed and bluish mornings That once were sacred and now sleep Inside the drunken silence of museums The Eleusinian Mysteries were a festival and a mystical ceremony held at Eleusis in Attica in honour of the goddesses Demeter and Persephone . It was generally accepted that it was the most sacred and revered of all the festivals of ancient Greece having originated in Samothrace and the Cabeir Mysteries were brought to Eleusis by Thracian colonists. They began to gain great fame during the time of Peisistratus and reached the height of their glory during the Golden Age of Pericles .
