Favorite Quote:
Art is the stored honey of the human soul -Theodore Dreiser


All around flames flicker in mockery

His steps, cloven-footed, dance in thick blood

I should’ve listened to the augury

My mind hagridden, I drop with a thud


Dress once pure, now tainted in heathen’s gore

His steps draw near to my disheveled form

A coward I’ve become, brave nevermore

I ought to be shamed for bringing this storm


Blinded by greed, I summoned this damned beast

Slaughtering a coven to quench his thirst

Memories rot, friends once close now deceased

This jealousy wove my soul to a curse


With his silk-tongued words, I became convinced

Hand outstretched, his Faustian waltz commenced

I really wanted to challenge my literary skills when I was assigned to write a Sonnet for my creative writing class. My goal was to portray themes of betrayal and guilt in a unique way. My teacher was impressed and suggested to post it here
