In cold of night by iced starlight the goblin's curse comes far too soon and I await to meet my fate to ask of him a final boon With deadly hands he proudly stands before me, manhood raised in ire I supplicate and salivate while in my loins there burns a fire A feral grin now draws me in and I am lost in darkness, whole but I await to supplicate and take back all, from me, he stole Panting now, I beg and cow feigning lust I do not feel my body wakes as my heart breaks the curse is come with waxen seal My one desire is lifted higher as on the flames of lust I burn this goblin king knows just one thing and wields me like a spit in turn My plea unheard is now absurd surrendered to the funeral pyre I salivate and meditate upon this curse of my desire In moon of wane my time of pain is coming with the end of years and through the night both dark and light I surrender to my fears become the thing that I despise see everything through goblin eyes Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

I loved the movie Labyrinth. David Bowie had an absolutely royal mullet, didn't he? This poem is terrific--I can honestly say that I'm impressed with your style. The title is what got me to click and read the poem and the form you chose was truly impressive... I liked your internal rhymes from line to line, gave a kind of Ancient-Mariner-feel to it. Lovely writing, Kethry. I'm sorry to have never read you before. Take care-- Parasite Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. |

Thanks everyone, I too have seen Labyrinth but I'm afraid this was just some quick whimsy and not connected to thoughts of the movie. Anyway thanks for the idea that it could have come from there. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
