Shackled


Trapped in the chains,
shackled to your throne.
One thousand skulls shimmer,
creamy brittle bone.

Ardent tawny eyes glow,
absorbing all the power.
Sucked from pitiful souls,
that daily you devour.

Sulphate pools blister,
bubbling is the air.
Despondent faces show,
eyes with vacant stare.

Servile sycophants,
commanded by your word.
With hell hounds whip,
minions are spurred.

Despising disdain boils,
a life to loath.
With their ebony souls,
they signed the oath.

I look upon them,
their deaths futile.
Your hand caresses,
and I smile.

    Impressive. Makes me think of where Princess Leya was trapped in Star Wars, only a lot darker. Yes I know I watch too many movies. LOL
