Her Honour I Stripped...


“Come, ill set you free”

Called out a whisper to me.
I heard a wailing scream,
I perceived it to be no dream.

Beads of fear on my forehead,
I did not dare leave my bed.
Shivers running down my spine,
I vision her dead body so supine.

To me, the banshee calls out,
“Death is near, no doubt.”
As I see her spectral face clear,
My dark heart fills with fear.

I see my dark deeds,
Filling my mind.
Time
I cannot rewind.

She screeches in anger
About her broken trust
And of how I thrust
My dagger inside her


She spurted black blood,
In a torrent, in a flood


With a malice so pure,
To make sure
I plunged it so yet again,
Her senses she’d never regain.

The beautiful ghoul
Has come to take my soul
My body she will burn
My soul she will churn

At the Gates of Netherworld.

Freedom comes with darkness
Like a nector and a thorn
let her take existence
I live beyond dreams.

Ahh its Dark but honest .
Is this fear or surrender???

Kay Vee said...

@ hazel dream:

wat does it look like to u?

its dark but not honest, yet not dishonest.
its imagination. mine.

its Fear. but that of the perpetrator.
its surrender. but again that of the wrong-doer.
its revenge. of the one that has been wronged.


PS: ur four lines were in reference to ?

"Freedom comes with darkness
Like a nector and a thorn
let her take existence
I live beyond dreams."

@elfie:
thanks dear!
but havnt poems always had a rhyme scheme?

@nadim:
the poem is a man's point of view.
it is the thought process of a rapist as he sees his victim's ghost come to claim his life!

oh! dumb me!!! i didnt read da title!!! :-o

--Sunrise-- said...

oooh. it's interesting... it sounds like a monologue in a play... i can just imagine it... an evil man, clad in dark robes, with a dark red spotlight on him (and strobe lighting), and the rest of the stage on blackout... standing near the front of the stage with malicious eyes roaming hither and thither... and a crystal clear loud voice entracing the audience... shouting the words out as wildly, fiercely and violently as you have penned them down... with roars of the thunder in the background...

lovely!

:)

@o anonymous reader a.k.a sunrise:
i must say, im quite amused to read ur take and interpretation on this lil poetic piece o' mine!
;-)
thanks gurl!

I see the work of a mind whose imagination is gifted with the art of a painter. you have replicated your thoughts into words....very descriptive, very lifefull. even the murkiest of detail is done with pictoral words.

Kay Vee said...

@amrita:
er...thanks!
and thats quite a beautifully thought up comment that u hav keyed in over here!!
:-)

--Sunrise-- said...

LOL!!! tee hee, was feeling a lil melodramatic... welcome! ;)
