Moonstone

Missing image



Dare you take the blue stone as it stands guard near my heart,
I defy all oncomers to rip the chain apart,
often have I watched as greedy eyes feast on this gem,
unbeknown to you are thousands more inside my hem.

Try to steal this treasure and you do so at a cost,
should you be successful all your hopes and dreams are lost,
into Hades pit with not one chance of an escape,
to be damned eternal, on your knees forever scrape.

Many more will try to take the prize which is not theirs,
I will curse them in their sleep and rob them of their prayers,
doomed to walk a tightrope made of razor sharp barbed wire,
one by one they lose their grip and fall into my fire.

Keep away lest you should be the next to meet your fate,
cast your eyes toward the sun else it will be too late.

    The mysteries of the blue stone are obviously not to be toyed with lest we wish to be burned. A cautionary tale which could be applied to many things we should not dip into lightly even though fate may tempt us.

    Quite the imaginative piece... power emanates from a stone which is protective of the bearer... sounds like this could be the theme of another chapter in the Lord of the Rings trilogy where the power was vested in the forged metal of MiddleEarth. Come to think of it, there are a few other stories loosely based on this idea... the most recent Indiana Jones comes to mind. Anyway, nice job setting the scene and the mood of the narrator in this piece. Good luck in your contest.
