.On The Horns Of THe Moon

I cannot live in bitter dungeons
In the caverns of your heart
Where roam the flying creatures
Of javelin and dart.

I shall wrap my cloak about me
As the nightside tempests start
In those halls of bitter dungeons,
In the caverns of your heart.

Definitely not a warm-hearted poem. Vivid imagery here - painful, cold and bitter. Depressingly superb! Linda :)

Who can know the heart with it's dark and secretive contents? Until the heart can become a place wherein lies love, peace, grace and mercy then there will be room for many to come in and enjoy it. Lovely poem.

A fine succinct write with good use of the bracketed repeated line at beginning and end for emphasis and poetic effect.
