Shadows Of Creation: A Frankenstein Poetry Cycle Poem by Marius Oosthuizen

1. The Spark
In a silent room of storm and light,
A stitched-up shape began its fight.
A borrowed breath, a stolen flame —
And nothing ever was the same.

2. The Creature Speaks
You made me from the dark of night,
Yet turned away in morning light.
Am I the monster you now see —
Or is the monster truly thee?

3. Victor
He chased a secret meant for gods,
Ignored the lines, defied the odds.
But knowledge gained without the heart
Can tear a fragile world apart.

4. Lonely Giant
Tall as fear and strong as grief,
He searched the world for one relief:
A gentle word, a friendly face —
Instead, he found the human race.
— Original poem inspired by Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
