The Dark Prince

The Dark Prince

A Poem by Ezekiel Silver
"

Year poem was written: 2013

"

      A collector of pain and sorrow,

          death's favorite pet.

      Surrounded by distant memories,

          and weary tombstones.

 

      Plagues of flesh ravage his spirit,

          rotting hope into decay.

      With streams of blood flooding his life,

          washing away loved ones.

 

       A soul scarred of grief and purgatory,

          never blessed with relief.

       Claiming lordship over fear and horror,

          the dark prince.

A worthy poem for Poe, who led such a disturbed life. Provocative imagery indeed! Poe has so many great works, but for some reason the first piece of literature I think of when I hear Poe's name is his melancholy poem "annabel lee" (sp?). Haunting as anything he has written. Good luck in the contest!

Poe was indeed "A soul scarred of grief and purgatory,/never blessed with relief," Ezekiel. You have captured the spirit of that tormented soul so well in your poem. Very well written.
