Queen of Darkness
Queen of Darkness
She is the angel
Guarding the gates of her Eden
Wielding a flaming sword
Wounded but never conquered
She is friend to the serpent
In whose lair she sleeps
And the spider whose webs
Are the art that decorate her eaves
She wears her lipstick feminism
While peering through glasses
With lens made of the crystal fury
Of Bloody Mary’s cocktail glass
She is the angel
Guarding the gates of her Eden
Wielding a flaming sword
Wounded but never conquered
She is friend to the serpent
In whose lair she sleeps
And the spider whose webs
Are the art that decorate her eaves
She wears her lipstick feminism
While peering through glasses
With lens made of the crystal fury
Of Bloody Mary’s cocktail glass

Hello,
The vibe of the older poetry and older tales spoke through this like vaporising breath. The dark undertones through out the whole poem kept me reading until the very end, well wrote! Greetings

Rianne,
Deep gratitude for feeling this so deeply and resonating with my words. Your observations are the dark beauty of a wondrous soul. I loved every word you spoke here. Truly touched my poet's heart. Thank you so much.
