Familiar

Eugene S.

You have kept me, in all things, devotion

Appointed, a servant to make things well

Ordained, thy fervor is thorough, ferocious

Thy colors, of scenes immortelle

 

Serve your master, bring me blood

So that I become the legend I must

Serve in portions that flow, that flood

Leaving my prey as dried up husks

 

Alas, my epicurean footman

I hear your footsteps, know your tone

And long for my treasures, my lost ones

To be brought before my thirsty throne

 

For I, unike you

a servant to command,

am of shadow, of blight,

of things undone

    I can feel the darkness in this poem and it has sense of power to it. Nicely written it establishes a definite mood.
