The Three Sisters

A poem written from the perspective of a psychopath obsessed with a woman in a relationship. The reader delves into the psyche of the narrator whose mind transitions to a state of complete insanity.

There exists three sisters

And to know them is an art

For they are human nature manifest

And exist in the recesses of my arctic heart.

 

Anger,

I feel her when his hand entraps yours

His skin on your beautiful canvas

Making a mockery of the art of that which we could be

To drink from the fountain of youth

To live forever admiring your visage

O what a beautiful living death that would be

 

Jealousy,

Her fragrance is smelt,

  her sweetness tasted,

whenever you grace my path

with that accursed shadow at your arm

He knows not the bounty he carries

the precious ambrosia that he drinks in every night

in your embrace.

If you were but mine,

would you experience the wonders of the gods

To be to me as nectar was to Olympus

as Isis was to Osiris

A goddess among mortals �"

a sun among comets �"

Yet your light is dimmed

and I would have it magnified!

 

Hate,

rears her beautiful head �"

the last of the three -

when you cast the daggers of all daggers at me:

A glance and nothing more,

through a portal, a door,

and in closing,

echoes its horrid sound forevermore.

Then hate sings her siren song

and I follow her to the dark beyond

where in a chamber us two doth speak

Of nothing nice, of evil deeds.

 

A flash in the dark, a glint of steel

A chill down my spine I do feel.

Hate whispers, and the shadows urge

to bring upon you an unutterable purge:

Cleanse your life of the darkness that is him

so that you and I in the fountain of love may swim.

 

Reviews

[Raghib]

didnt understand the usage of the three sisters . they are more related to life and death . cant place it anywhere dude .
otherwise the poem was beautifully brought up with every theme having a paragraph .

[Sergei]

The three sisters image is used to draw a parallel between the Norns, who determine our fates, and also the three-pronged attack of anger, jealousy and hate, which leads the protagonist in this poem to commit murder, i.e. fulfill his "fate"

[GwenLark]
