Forlorn Phantom
Gently, gently I turned the page
Silent was the darkness
A phantom of emotionless rage
Gently, gently I brushed his face
The eyes-- black as death
The most dreadful scent
Arose from his decayed breath
He informed me not to sweat
A voice of echoed screams
Already present in eternity
Forlorn face of descended dreams
In a breathless and bleak scene
Gently, gently I turned the page
Silent was the darkness
A phantom tied to his cage
Gently, gently I granted him his rage
Silent was the darkness
A phantom of emotionless rage
Gently, gently I brushed his face
The eyes-- black as death
The most dreadful scent
Arose from his decayed breath
He informed me not to sweat
A voice of echoed screams
Already present in eternity
Forlorn face of descended dreams
In a breathless and bleak scene
Gently, gently I turned the page
Silent was the darkness
A phantom tied to his cage
Gently, gently I granted him his rage

Why thank you for such praise, it was inspired by Frankenstein, at least partly. it is one of my favorite novels, it has always helped me with my depression. Thank you so much for reading and commenting:)

Could not agree more, Mary Shellys Frankenstein is one of the best written books, it blew me away because it isn't typically regarded that way, truly it is underrated as far as how well it is written, I adore it.

It is, its about the creature from Frankenstein, but also about being able to reflect your emotions in books, in my case depression which I saw reflected in Frankenstein if read it as the creature being a metaphor, or I did. Everyone reads things differently.
Thank you for reading, hopefully you'll share your dream in a poem or story one day, you have me intrigued.
