The Sphere

The Sphere

a caged barbaric beast sat alone
 the conclave of its hold to the darkest order
 suffice to say it broke from its chains & walked at night
 roaming the streets of Liverpool in vengeance for blood

 long hanging viscous fangs that fright
 dripping blood off side we hide
 the torrents of water flowing from a nearby spring
 a fare maiden waits on the edge of the lamp poll

 out of curiosity she wanders away aimlessly into the street
 in full view of the beast she stand motionless
 words can't express her terrified thoughts sifting inside her
 she bravely hold forth her sphere

 violently glancing off the head of the beast
 blackened death of screams come forth then disappears
 a parting quest to put the beast to rest
 was this all an illusion or a figment of imagination

 She stands victorious with words expressed of joy
 to carry on her wayward search into the night once again
 a pillage of taunt residue sifting through the rubbish 
 only to use the sphere out of real need or necessity

 A blaze of glory to a magical sphere
 Such a heroic impulse saved the vast domain
