Claustrophobia

Missing image

Claustrophobia

Clandestine meetings to repay a debt
Latent emotions succumb to the fear
Apostate of darkness to whom I beget
Undead doxologies summon me near
Satanic demoniacs infesting my soul
Transverses boundaries of mortality
Rapture of spirit beyond my control
On the altar of satanic anarchy
Perhaps I shouldn’t have offered my throat
Handing my soul to the one in the cape
Omnipotent savior with head of a goat
Bewitched in his pow’r there is no escape 
I could have remained alone in a coffin
A fate I detest yet still think of of'en

    I was caught up in the theme and the wonderful rhyme, and then realized it was an acrostic. Very cleverly done!

    This is absolutely amazing, Sis. You are so talented. I can't recall if I have read an acrostic sonnet before. You have proven once again that you are the queen of form poetry. This also had a darkness to the piece, as well. It also seemed metaphorical, like how life can seem to be suffocating sometimes. Thanks for sharing your talent and keep that pen flowing.

    Excellent! You never fail do you. What a poem this is. Sounds like an incantation which should be uttered in a low growl in some horror movie late at night. Very descriptive of this picture and enough to raise the hair on your head. Amera, you're the best!

      I know the feeling when I read your work Sis. I try to do to Formal poetry what you do to Free Verse.

    Beautiful acrostic you've penned here! And look, it's a sonnet, too! You = talent. I love the rhyme and the vocabulary; everything was just perfect.

    I stand in wonder.

    Wonderful, an offbeat but totally usable definition of the acrostic word in a beautiful sonnet, right down to the cleverly bent but perfect rhyme to end.
    This is going to be a hard contest to compete in!!!
