Wretched Prison

by Tainted Beauty   Apr 4, 2007


Fiery eyes pierce him,
He lies, limp in the palm of her hand,
not daring to move
succumbing to her demands.

He grovels at her heels
begging for a freedom unknown.
He searchs for an escape from her grasp,
a life of his own.

She allows a false freedom,
letting him wander while keeping close guard
she tries constantly to trust him,
shes finding it hard.

Perpetually challenging him,
Daring him to defy
but he won't, she dominates
the resistance has died.

He is unsucessful at pleasing her,
he begs her forgiveness, she turns away.
The Watchers observe from afar
Wishing him the courage to stray.

She stares them down
her malicious grin never failing to intimidate.
His love has not tarnished,
Despite her attempts to desecrate.

Picking fights to point out flaws
assumption,her most dangerous ability.
Drunk with power, yet he follows.
She won't sit alone in hostility.

    A very strong start to your poem, and it managed to hold out throughout the entire poem. There were some verses where it seemed to be weaken, but the entire thing was very strong. The words you chose were perfect, and you kept the vivid imagery going. Great job on this one!
