Notes About The Poem

Painting by Seren Roberts

 

Sleeping Beauty

She gazed into my haunted eyes
Knowing my devotion was absolute and complete
She fulfilled my nefarious dreams
Ever so peaceful in her green eyed slumber
She struggled with the rope and tape
I whispered in her ear
Relax, your destiny is clear
You shall sail to the sweetest of places
I shall allow you your escape
Slowly, smothered with my pillowed love
She lies lifeless
In peace
With my poems upon her chest
She has found paradise at last
As the light fades from the far away sea
Old roads become watery graves
North she sails with my words upon her very soul




Dedicated to Seren Roberts the Green Eyed Girl of Wales

Alexis Y. August 6, 2016 at 11:26 AM This is a well written dark write. So chilling and scary and ect. You let your reader see into the mind a killer. But when I see your note, I see another perspective and my mind starts to wander. And no I wouldn't want to join -7 :-) Alexis Arthur Vaso August 6, 2016 at 8:27 PM Thanks Alexis, my mind always wanders! :)

Kim Merryman August 6, 2016 at 10:16 AM A scary look inside a deranged killer's mind. So realistic! Excellent write! Blessings! Arthur Vaso August 6, 2016 at 8:26 PM Thanks Kim! Was inspired by a contest!

CayCay Godwin August 6, 2016 at 8:01 AM I wonder what emotion you wanted to provoke. Well told write that haunts me with sadness as one with twisted emotions brags of the useless death of one so innocent, a death that is actually prized and cherished by him, the slayer. Fairy Tales are actually dark and this was successfully dark as well ... CayCay Arthur Vaso August 6, 2016 at 8:14 PM There was a contest, about writing about Murder, and this was a take on that! :)
