The Unicorn

The Unicorn

A Poem by Pradeep Nair
"

Unicorn is an imaginary animal from European Folklore, also Biblical. It craves for purity and only a nude virgin can tame it. If the one is not a virgin, the unicorn will tear her apart.

"

O the ferocious beast, strong and fast

Come in my dreams with all thy passions

Descend thy chivalrous white upon me

I need the love that’s kept in thy mane 

 

O unicorn, the one longing purity and love

Waiting you like a virgin beneath the tree

You only tame to the pure and virginal

Let your alicorn feel my thumping heart

 

O unicorn, I know thy chaste and truth

I will be torn down once thee make out me

All I need is thy love upon myself and

For I am pretending to be a virgin

 

Let thy love descend upon me once

Then pierce me down on thy alicorn

For all I need you to quench my lust

Then I never want to breathe once more  

 

Though I am wearing the skins of pure

Deep down I am a mass of gray

Gray made out of lust and thirst  

Will spoil thy coat of milky white

 

O unicorn, quench my thirst and

Thrust thy alicorn deep in my heart

Tear me down and smear my gray on  

Thy pure and white fur with blood.

This is a very intense piece of poetry, and I really like it. I'm not sure if this is your intended metaphoric meaning, but it seems as if we all have that craving to be pure, despite lust that resides within us. Just that very moment that the speaker is willing to sacrifice for that unicorn, simply to experience its love, simply to experience purity, is written with such great emotion. This is a very interesting topic to write about. I love the language. Well done.

Thanks for keeping my Unicorn dash....
Wow. This poem leaves near speechlessness. It is intense, and imaginative. And the unicorn just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite mythical beasts! I can't wait to go and delve deeper into your collection of writings. :)
