Poem
The Story Of The Cruel And Dark Queen That Feeds On Souls She that exists to eat innocent souls and this world's vast wealth A dark goddess, splaying her straggly long hair with wilted roses Pretty, brazen, wickedly heartless and damn to hell soulless Even far more beautiful, glowingly fair than is Lamia Artists and poets seek words to describe her deep darkness Souls of artists, painters and reprobates toiling for her glee Thousands enslaved in the mirage of her horrible essence She that holds me locked into her enticing horrid imagery As I toil like Hercules to break these impregnable chains Such that morning holds no beauty, sky is devoid of its blue These many months pass and pass, O' my spirit is wilting I seek the gold moon at night but find only darken shadows And absolutely no human pleasures ever do I know or feel I that exist in this raging true hellish world of deep evil pains Pray for dearest release that I may one day die a free man And if gifted our God's sweet mercy, shall enter the Pearly Gates. Robert J. Lindley, Verse APRIL 11TH 1971 Old Note: Age 17, this is one of my early dark poems, no rhyming. I rarely ever do just plain verse.... New Note: Well, I still rarely ever do just verse. May have have written 15 or 20 poems that were just verse.
