The Minotaur

by Sondos   Jun 17, 2006


I fell in love with a Minotaur last night
And felt dragonflies pierce the dawn
T'was silent but for the fireworks
That rung in our ears alone

The lights up on Blackpool tower
And the charred fire wood
Were snuffed out by our passion
Of tameless chaos where we stood

Was it the hair of this timeless beast?
Or those sullen eyes?
That devoured life's useless web of tactics
Destroyed the brain's demise

He was at least 3 times my size
And I was dressed in virgin white
Purity leaked from my limbs
Electricity blinded my sight

And the wind shattered me into his grip
And we were waxed into time and place
The bubbles of passion and faerie rings
Clouds crushed my heart of lace

My fingers drooled and my tongue shrivelled
Heart was gone and caked with sweat
Windmills whirled and corn crops blossomed
Fish swarmed the skies, not fishing nets

Tomorrows shattered and light bulbs too
Labyrinths draped behind the gate
Whip ready and eyes tightly shut
The human race will just have to wait....

    [I thought that stanza was GREAT!]
    Your wording in this again was really good. The flow was good aswell. I don't see anything at all wrong in this peice. You're a great writer! 5/5

    Once again I thought the flow and allwas great but I dont know what in the world a minotaur is!!!! The part where your fingers drooled and your tongue shrivled was weird and it just does not make sense to me! Please read rate and comment four of mine as promised in the forum1

    This was such an original and unique idea. I loved the mystic feel of this poem, and imagery. the only line that didn't really fit (in my mind) was
    "Fish swarmed the skies, not fishing nets" A very well written poem ^_^ Great job!

    Mystical poem, not knowing much about a minotaur your words did capture my attention. A talented writer.
