The Demon-Wizard

This is what I get for watching Anastasia at midnight X3

          Dark caverns in the underworld are filled with screams

    Shadows dance upon the walls 

                 Flames dance and sway in long forgotten halls

  And people thought this darkness only filled dreams

       Maniacal laughter fills the air with the scent of death

 A man with a long scraggly beard strides down a path

    Needing some way to show his wrath

 You could easily smell old Vodka on his breath

   A man of magic, caught in his own game

Revenge is the only task in his head

    All of the royals presumed him dead

Rasputin is his name

Love this song. I can see why you were inspired!
Like the shape.
Favorite bits: each line of the first stanza scratch that - most every line. Except the Vodka bit. It felt out of theme.

In my own opinion (really really just my opinion) I would have left direct references to Anastasia out. This is a maniacal, haunting, eerie piece that I think should stand alone.

:) I am so glad you liked it ^*^ I put the Vodka bit in there because, well, he's Russian. And honestly I didn't put any references in the poem, just listening to the song inspired me :)
FUN FACT: Rasputin in real life was shot, poisoned, and stabbed, but he really died from drowning :D crazy right?!

Totally unexpected! Didn't think It was going to be Rasputin then I got to...
"All of the royals presumed him dead"
And I was like "Wait a second....!! O_o.. "
Lol but anyway, Good job and totally loved it! Keep up the great work! :)

I haven't heard that song in forever XD it actually does remind me of it now that I listen to it lol

Rasputin. That's a mystic I don't hear about very often. I was expecting something far different, though, aha, and it brought a chuckle out of me. I don't know much about Anastasia so I'm sure I'm missing most of the references. Nevertheless, well done.
