Daughters of Cain... (Shakespearean Sonnet) Mature

.


Adroitly wielding my emotions dear,
I sit upon the diadems of time.
To, now, discover virgin treasure reared,
My flesh defends her naked breasts to mine.
A Seraphim will soar from wicked ash
To tempt the savage greed in mortal man.
What chaste devotion will devour wrath;
Soul born to light, machined for Heaven's plan?
Make her a god, beholden to my blood,
Bedecked and fanged with womb; sword forged from gold!
My Angel has devoted, as she should,
A cistern for my seed like legends old.
Her flesh, her precious flesh, is Cain's to burn,
Thus Angel's love is Heaven when returned.

Without inspiration, poetry proves to be merely a vessel for documenting rhetoric without merit.

You definitely aced this one Stardust, and I'm going back for another read after I finish this comment. A consummate characterization, and the girls from the land of Nod are a caution! Cheers for this beauty! - Dan

Gorgeous and well-penned. Great pacing throughout as well. Indeed, worthy of a Spotlight. Passionate and such pulsing energy and visuals, very nicely done! You even wrote it in a sonnet form. Smooth, sleek and delightful! Congrats! :)
