Biting Artemis
In the gods he smiled knowingly
watching Artemis slip between tree
flowing , her flight of arrow true
tunic & quiver, stag & meat
not a sound but birds of peace
Cyprus she calls willingly comfort
gutting open sacrificial sustenance
javelin to side, two blades run
knives of the light bringer, shining love
wrest for naught thine meat obtain
Isle Of Delos, Brauron and little bears
look on in mimic, souls that practice
spartan actions worshiped word for warrior
****************************************************************
Harry watched her attack without mercy
biting the neck of her latest victim
screams from the gutter escaped
whimpers, letting all breath loose
caught by grasp, squeezing throat
he had seen a dark edifice proclaimed
house of horrors, site of fright
thoughts that were black in marquee
horror held hold, hearkening childhood
lost in pages of comics, black and white movies
the movie ended, slow how he preferred
catching credits folly and such
sometimes his mind worked for studios
other times drawing lines in rhyme
settling scores for action scenes
the rains came as he stepped outside
soft patters from up above sedentary steel
fedora smiles curve up his lip allure
walking past dark alleys concrete cool
wears slight worry for one in shadow
hungry and fierce found creature of night
she is ravenous as that scent pervades
drawing the need deeper from within
she follows close allowing his musk
his mind on theater certain allegory
strides to clasp of hand piercing eye
a man enraptured a man procure
to his abode and furthered heights
(sound out)
S-A-C-F-R-I-C-E
was due her owed, like fallen god
spawn of Hel once of high
a goddess prized huntress divine
brought low cursed for man
mind-locked direction grips
sealing fates betwixt two
alter and sacrifice, knife and kill
doorways to sky they enter
leaving crowds below, quietness, studio
how the outlook skyline arrives with light
the mix of ink between many blinks and twinkle
not a star to wish upon only the imitated
bourbon she suggests, warmth for blood
highs before a swoon bend of swan
crazed sight as she lets him realize
where he stands in life the coming tide
gasped air one of last, a wrist covered slowly by mouth
sips of decadence wine warm worth
flows through vein and open mouth
wring the pallor to white boned china
slathered wrist with sliced open nicks
torn open flesh borne connected one
A neck turns offered as promise
wield in hand held so lovingly
she slinks back towards heaven
not once forgotten worships respite
the days of yore, ways of balance
rest was right given with honor
times that wound around her finger
warmth of sun O how she remembers
slunk of man given lamb she thanks
letting him drift away so slowly away
his mind to dream dragging him down
to a hel she reigns his number she swells
rank to file for future fight, another loved soldier
His javelin held firm to grasp
helmet of fire with eyes ablaze
his brothers in arms welcoming in
watching Artemis slip between tree
flowing , her flight of arrow true
tunic & quiver, stag & meat
not a sound but birds of peace
Cyprus she calls willingly comfort
gutting open sacrificial sustenance
javelin to side, two blades run
knives of the light bringer, shining love
wrest for naught thine meat obtain
Isle Of Delos, Brauron and little bears

Thank You for the kindness Brenda.
It's a tad corny, but so am I lol
I was hurting for originality here, but it was something to just walk the pen with for a bit.
You are very kind to RL and drop by (((Hugs)))

I'll have to come back to this a few times to leave a more proper comment, but holy crap, man! What a brilliant write... so much to take in. This is one that absolutely requires multiple reads. I'll be back to this later tonight when I'm feeling more receptive to fully appreciate it's beauty!
Heh, now I'm glad I haven't been distracting you ;)
You've been working on a masterpiece behind closed doors! Heh

I'm really floored Gabe. I think it's utterly inspired, incisive, fantastic usage of mythological themes. I'm really impressed. This seems a different side of you. I always admire when people will write from different dimensions of their being.
That means Much to me Daniel-Thank You Brother!!!
It's my corny side and I'll say that in every comment lol
It's true...lack of better story is my only real disappointment.
I need a better fount ...I'm going to be looking around a bit for a few.

Ahh the vampire poem! lol
It's not exactly what I pictured (after our chat) but it definitely is a great imaginative and well crafted story poem.
