Hell Hath No FuryA Poem by Becky EarithWritten from the point of view of TItania, queen of the fairies, in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream, directed towards Oberon, king of the fairies, in response to his actions throughout the play
Jealousy is such a wicked thing, my dear
Green glimmers will make eyes dance The idea, so smart within your own mind An evil nectar used with such nonchalance The love that once existed between us As pure and strong as I believed it to be Tossed asunder with a sweet droplet Leaving my heart empty of affection for thee Anger is such a dangerous thing, my love Red sparks will make eyes smoulder Love is blind, the most popular myth Designed to make the low feel bolder You blinded my sight and gave him my heart A hideous creature, a mule for a head Receiving my attention, my mind, my soul And the worst of them all, a place in my bed Revenge is the sweetest reward, my king Satisfying would be to scratch out your eyes But what am I, if not a queen afterall? It is in magic, where the answer lies A life of misery, disaster, pain and loss Of judgement, prejudice, fear and abandon Is what awaits you, my dear husband When I leave you to walk amongst the men © 2014 Becky Earith |
