"artemus" poems
Wondrous Love
Our love is as solid as the ancient rocks Stonehenge
Strong and as long as the Golden Gate Bridge Extends
Romantic as the sparkling Aurora Borealis lights
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, held tight like stalactites
Our love can move Everest, make the Pisa tower lean
Spiritual and earnest, as Jerusalem's serene
Occasionally a fight in Rome's Colosseum
Woeful regrets laid bare in Tutankhamen's museum
Our love is impenetrable like the Great Wall of China
Shiny like the Pyramids, there is nothing finer
Deserving of a shrine at the foot of Temple Artemus
Polar Ice caps could never melt our ambient musk
Our love is higher than the Empire State can tower
A jewel within the crown of the Taj Mahal's power
Colourful as the Barrier Reef, the love we feel inside
Grander than the Canyon and deeper than it is wide

Born under Artemus
To the mother, Nemesis
Born to fight against
The hounds of hell
Has earned his company
In the temple of villainy
Has earned his place
Among the lore
For the lore be written
To include the villians
For the lore be not a judge
To cast shame on him
His actions have bound
His fate with the hounds
His actions will decide
Which road to chase
Which sends his soul
To a heart once his own
Which sends his mind
Into insanity
His state on the plane,
A strange domain
His state on the dais
A pawn to the fates
Who allow him to rectify
His mistakes in life
Who allow the hounds
To snap their jaws
At the gates of hell
With a familiar swell
At the gates of Hades
With a heart of hatred
With a beautiful prize
Held up with pride
With a beautiful emptiness
Caused by vengeance
The hounds snap their jaws
And click their claws
The hounds move aside
To grant his passage
Into the forever abyss
That is born from hate
Into the forever
His name, Eucledes.
