Medusa's Chattel

a little mythological a bit dark

Enslaved vocabulary has astounding actions

Syllables slung in the faces with acidic actions

Penetrating the lungs with destructive miasmic fumes

Boating allegiance to Medusa's bewitching charms

Capitulation screaming with toxic admission

Docile demeanor proudly spoken with cocky vigor

Tongue recites a dedication to bondage with bravado

Proudly parading combustion of total ensnarement 

Loathing those who would chastise conceited vocalization

Chattel's silken binds neglected with utter dispassion

As exuberance echoes across the abundant land

While Medusa slumbers contently without acknowledgement

Leaving the tattered silk to neglectfully unravel

A mirage of submission dries the vibrant oasis

Calling to the harbinger of destruction on the pale stallion

Shadowed phantasm becomes translucently clear

As the impertinent serpent slithers to another's embrace

A great read. This poem shows how much skill you have in crafting wonderful poems for others to really enjoy! Love the dark but rather romantic tale in this poem.

A crafted and well placed piece of art, though moral indifference of slated intollerance always deepens the heart of a reader, well done, good reader.
