Devil's Den Poem by Aphrodite Anastasia Menegaki

Devil's Den



I cast a spell and I don't repent
Down I went to the Devil's Den
‘Twas a deal of blood and tears
Hear the sound of revenge that nears
Not love, or cry nor complain
Solely a curse will now remain
And your heart from blood will drain
‘Till you feel my wrath and pain
Hundred damned pitch black crows
Rip away your skin and clothes
You alone a Prometheus bound
To the Hell you woke and found
All my tears like falcon's claws
All my sorrow like lions' jaws
Feel them crush you bit by bit
Try to breathe there's one last hit
I promised the beast with the thousand teeth
The one that lives of the earth beneath
In return for the blood-stained deal
To bring down for its meal
For the hunger it cannot restrain
He who made me feel such pain
And down we go to the Devil's Den
I casted a spell I will not repent
He who made me cross that path
Has now faced all my wrath

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
What we experience, what we come across in life and the people we meet, inevitably mold us into what we become. Inspired by the film "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" and Daniel Pemberton's music for the film, this poem was written not only for the main character and how he became who he was, but also for all the victims of bullying around the world, regardless of their age, whose anger boils within them and one day may erupt into things far more dangerous than what we may imagine.

Really a poignant piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely embellished with poetic rhyme and rhythm.
