Thy Curse And Thy Passion

Oceans depth curl gently thine waves
save thine existence from thee caves
thine undertowed wrath frightfully vain
take honor from on high to not abstain.

Searched thee earth for thine own suitor
ye hath not eyed thee majesty of pewter
her grace n'er opens thine doors of gold
whilst locked inside her souls grown cold.

Hollowed gold thy doors cursed by dare
destiny of old myth could n'er thou share
thy pewter within thou halls of such clutter
descend those who are permitted to shutter.

Thy prize of beauty lying in thy castle dark
shall release thy curse only if a man embark
to win thy graces fair by enticing her desires
in gentle words of truth strung upon sapphires.

Not a man yet hath found thy words to please
as yet thy beautiful lady lies waiting to seize
thy curse and thy passion driven behind doors
from thy men who vision women as only hores.

Wouldst that I couldst assuage thy desires
But I hast no words to string on saphires.
I really like this one Esmeralda.

This was excellent, Esmeralda.  "Those permitted to shutter"  -  that is quite a powerful line.  Speaks volumes to one like me.

Denise, I have finished the book and it was fabulous, this was not in it, just came to me in pieces and formed itself. Thank you for reading and enjoying.  

Jack, thanks, I'm sure the words would have to be just so right to bring her out from this castle if that be at all possible after so long.  

Michael, Thank you, glad you enjoyed. interesting how different lines in poems can hit a chord in people.

Lizzie, thanks, bunches glad you enjoy.
