Moonlight Madness

[Da Prophecy]

Moonlight Madness

Get back! Away with each and every one

Of you! Get back enforcers of folly!

Why is it that you each have out your gun

And cuffs, as if you were here to seize me?

Oh, I see. It’s because of what I’ve done

That you inch closer with alacrity,

But what you fail to see is that this night

I have done nothing less than what was right.

I’ve delivered death to this most evil

Of men; I’ve given him the penalty

For what was the most inconceivable

Of crimes, and now you wish to arrest me

Even though I have irrefutable

Evidence that he, not me, is guilty.

What this scene clearly fails to let you know

Is that he dealt the first and fatal blow.

He ended my womb bearer’s life without

A hint of restraint and left her to rot

On this God forsaken wasteland about

A mile away. Yet it still seems you’ve got

The gall to inch closer with weapons out

As if I am the criminal. I’m not,

You fools! Let that marinate in your heads.

You all should congratulate me instead.

I’ve done your job by following each print

Until I saw him as he tried to take

His leave. Then I acted with my consent

And struggled with this fiend for revenge’s sake

To the point where his energy was spent.

With that, my last energy I did rake

And proceeded to beat, bruise, and batter

Which caused each drop of his blood to splatter.

So now you see? I have done your job; you

Are finished here. Go home and get some sleep.

I’m sure you have families to tend to

While I have nothing but sorrow and my weep

To be my hug and my kiss through and through

As I descend into the dark and deep.

I thought I could bring end to my sorrow,

But wherever I go it will follow.

I notice that you are still coming near,

But to you I will no longer explain

The reasons for my actions when it’s clear

That favor from you I will not obtain.

So with this gun I’ll close the chapter here

And let you clean up all of what remains

Because getting arrested is unjust;

I’d rather be reverted back to dust.

[Nightwolf]

Excellent story, two suggestion for ya

Change rake to slake

change weep to weeping

Hey, sorry I'm replying to your response so late but thanks. I just wanted to submit it just to see what people would think. As I'm sure you guessed, this is the follow up to "prelude to madness". When I wrote this I was trying to use the ottava rima verse form. Thanks again.

I love this! The way you've written it, the story and the length...wow! I loved every line! I like your work it's powerful and has so much feeling to it. I like your other stuff too!

Hey thanks for the reply and I'm glad you liked it. I wrote this as an experiment with a verse form, ottava rima. It's the only poem in this form that I have written. I need to write in this more often because it is a fun form. Thanks again!
