Goblins by ~nightshade13:iconnightshade13:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Narrative > Ballad


What lies darkly sparkling
Across cloth of midnight blue?
Our eyes like jewels or knives
Cut into the quick of you

Our fingers like tattered spiders
Weave webs throughout your mind
And when you think to look for us
Our hands you'll never find

Our lips give icy kisses
Tracing paths along your spine
The fear will make you love us
The love will make you pine

Out hearts do stoke the fire
That burns within your breast
Darkest thought and darkest dreams
That never let you rest

Kiss our lips and touch our masks
Run fingers through our hair
And when you think to hate us
You'll find you want us there

What lies darkly sparkling
Across cloth of midnight blue?
Beloved of the goblins, dearest,
I do beleive its you.

Author's Comments

It is said, that if one were to take even one taste of goblin fruit they would crave it for the rest of their remaining mortal life, that the desire for it would cause the joys of the world around them to dim and fade until they begin to grow old and wither in their skin, a youthful soul trapped unto death in a rottic carcass of mortal flesh. That being told, what, pray tell, would happen if one were to have a taste of the goblin that gave the fruit, a taste of feral love that cannot possibly compare to mortal desire?
Methinks the cosequences would be far more severe. :D

"Where ever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you! Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you. I wonder how we can survive this romance. But in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance!"
