Thorned Chalice
Pure hate untasted fills her cup,
repelling soul to parch love's tongue.
Sour concoction, piss-poured mock,
absinthe green.. laced brimstone raught.
Swash menacing.. circles times three,
sloshing stale hurts without decree.
She drinks solely his beauty deep,
compressing wounds.. to stanch deceit.
Still no appeasing wine's chilled seethe.
Crestfallen.. she epiphanies' ..
"Ruler must first trust fate replete-
only then.. would Thorned King love she."
.. bowing meek peace to royalty.
King offers swilled chalice again,
of liquid hearts in poison blend.
"Lips shall not drink of death unsinned."
~She needn't prove love by suicide.
..drinkless.. yet dead to him this time.

Re. Thorned Chalice
Always so beautifully written. Great rhymes. Had to read aloud to really appreciate.
Always finding myself having to read several times, I guess I"m either a little
slow or just enjoy the mental stimulation of reading your ink. :) K2m (Keith)

Again, I had to read this a few times... to take it in.
Dare I say.... Shakespearean?
(that was an unintentional rhyme...but I will take it!)
You truly have a unique style that is olde, but new. I can totally imagine a Court Jester reciting this in some Castle far away from where I live. So she never did drink it...?

I'm just glad she didn't succumb to the king. He probably had a taste tester to prevent his own demise. The thorns, dripping cyanide, should be placed in his crown right between the rubies and sapphires, then he could wear it to the grave. Something the Borgias might come up with. Loved this, Darksighs!

omg..dearest Sir of Crow.. we are *eye to eye* on taste-tester ideal! .. was thinking it'd prolly be 'her' hired body guard or sum such archaic deviltry.. lol
And the Borgias?... wowie, what an infamous family they were! I've read/watched lots on their lives, was almost a daily plot there. Now you have me remembering the matriarch Borgia who made her servant sing while dying(poisoned by food).. an un-knowing taste-taster, I believe.. wicked n loved..;)
thanx much fer the visit, great day to you!

I love it. I secretly hoped she wouldn't drink and was rewarded. Nice ink.

The characters here are great. The reader gets a good view of both. I, of course, warm to your meek yet later strong female. I wonder if he drank from his chalice alone. Lovely write. Great, gothic poet.
