Venus' scarf

by Mr. Darcy   Jun 30, 2008


Venus floated into the room on a perfumed zephyr, her aura pulling at my quartz's anchor. A new dawn had begun and I was blessed with a radiant sunrise.

Thrust into a breathless storm, this princess swept her whispered stardust over my heart. Fantasies became immortalised with a silky lace embrace.

Her delicate palms gifted me a scarf of exquisite beauty. Such endowment was rare and its' caress surreal. Fortified silk had created an amulet of steel.

Stiletto steps descended from clouds, coming to rest upon this valley of Eden. There was a wariness and sense teeter in her forward motion, so I held out the scarf and we dreamt of running with open hearts.

Through the seasons, the fragrance of love became the stench of decay and our dreams of forever souls slipped away, far away from green pastures, smothering our fabled ever after.

My fairytale manuscript was now a snowstorm of tears. Each vanishing page branded its death, sucking my dreams like a leach of fire incinerating hope.

Heart and soul we sacrificed our essence for love, only to be left with a rotating void. Silken steel now relieves my torture and lances the poisoned tears from my corpse. A dark sea of mist swoops as I slowly swing in veneration to your reticent revenge.

Authors note:
The first word in each verse reveals my murderer's curse.

    Venus thrust her stiletto through my heart....

    Oh, how very sad this is Michael!
    How much pain you must have endured before you were ready to write the pain away.
    My heart goes out to you, I know from bitter experience how deep a romantic heart can ache:(
    Once a rose is plucked it will eventually die, although most men like to be believe otherwise.
    Nothing lasts forever, but for the pain where the thorns have puctured your hands.
    A beautiful write, my friend.

    Take care,

    5/5 Ingrid

    What a deep and intense piece you have penned. You show such a talent with your dark poetry. Imagery and word choices are fantastic. I could picture the scene in my mind as I read your words. Love the twist at the end where you reveal the curse.
    Great!

    Okay. First off, I can tell you. This poem seems really interesting. I see you have some hidden message that the reader has to find with the letters that begin each stanza. How unique is that.

    This poem was really interesting. It had a unique format and a unique way of telling your emotions & thoughts. Word-choice was good, not too complex but some words I didn't know what they meant. However, this poem was overall a very nice write and unique write also. Great job. 5/5.

    Your style is unique - it's quite refreshing after seeing many that have the same style, same rhythm, and same structure. The message you were trying to portray got across perfectly. I really enjoyed this :)
