Ancient Times

By Ld Marduk

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I have known…since ancient times,My heart and soul didst but show signs,Of passions, and desires,So finely honed and true,That if, unleashed, upon the world,Could bring about its ruin –For though noe god it is I be,Such…art their intensity,That given license could enslave,And make the meekest…of the brave –And long I’ve known such…to be true,Since ancient times tis been a tool,An art form best to melt the hearts,Of unsuspecting fools –And though noe god…it is I be,If such these…I…were to unleash,Noe mortal could hope e’er escape,Enslaved…eternally.
