My Prophet

Original Submission by Ms. Luna Mosiea

My Prophet By Luna Mosiea

The preacher in my dreams

The calmer of my screams

The comforter of my reaps

Emptiness oozes like blood from this soulless abyss

Silent screams from my wrists

This story is about to make a plot twist:

See, there are seasons in the abyss,

And all of them are full of mist.

Faintly dangling bodies in our midst.

Darkness has sounds of hiss.

Snakes wanting a midnight kiss.

Bats wanting to see what is the deathly hiss of a kiss,

That surrounds this arena with pure bliss.

Even Abbadon wants to see this.

This must be why the Devil is so pissed.

Hell has taken a break from its Evilness,

To bear witness to the Prophet and his Princess

Dance away in a midnight kiss,

In an arena of pure bliss.

Prophet whisks his love away

Like she’s a little Fae.

Taking her away with blue eyes paving the way.

They leave for a world far away

Where Kryptonite has no say.

Without a care, leaving Earth in dismay.

The screams…no longer silent

The scars…leaving trails of violence.

Women leaving kids in abundance.

Please! Spare me your silence.

Be Loud! Be quiet…

For my Prophet has gone…with me embraced in his kindness.

Headstones shall read: “She died of overwhelmness,

Of her Prophet’s tender kisses.”

Goodnight my Princess, you’ll forever be missed.

The Prophet shall rip his heart, swear never to love again.

And there shall be emptiness, in the cage of his ribcage.

For his Princess is gone…

Never to be heard from again.

Poem Analysis.

The poem was written by Luna Mosiea and Luna is the name I go by in the creative world. This poem can be viewed as an Ode from The Princess, to the one who calls himself “The Prophet” and can be enjoyed by all who enjoy storytelling.

The Poetic devices that can be found throughout the poem:

The setting of the poem is The Towns in The Abyss. Similes can be spotted in line 4 as well as in line 20. Metaphors can be spotted all throughout the poem, analogy in lines 11 and 12, antithesis in lines 14 till 16, and foreshadow at the end of line 6, end of line 19 and end of line 31.

The theme of the poem is Death and Violence. The tone is Sad and Broody. The poem originally has 6 stanzas that it can be divided into and they can be previewed as follows:

Stanza 1: Lines 1 to 6.

Stanza 2: Lines 7 to 19.

Stanza 3: Lines 20 to 25.

Stanza 4: Lines 26 to 31

Stanza 5: Lines 32 and 34.

Stanza 6: Lines 34 and 38.

Breakdown of the poem:

The poem opens up with the speaker introducing someone, and from the onset we can see how important this person is to the speaker. This is showcased in lines 1, 2 and 3. In line 4, the speaker shows us how she truly feels about her home, and how the emptiness engulfed her and seeped out of her. Line 6 we have a foreshadow moment at the end of the line, where the speaker tells us “…this story is about to make a plot twist.” And that is stanza 1. The breakdown of line 5: “Silent screams from my wrists…” will be explained later on in the analysis.

Stanza 2 introduces the audience to the home of the speaker and we get a brief yet full description in lines 7 to 13. The Abyss is the home and it can be perceived as a town, where the speaker mentions “…seasons in the Abyss…” This may lead the audience to believe that the Abyss may be an actual place that exists, one where seasons and forces of nature can occur. There is metaphor that can be found in line 9 where she says “Faintly dangling bodies in our midst…” This line can be interpreted in two ways: 1. To believe that she is be describing actual bodies, and this conclusion might be reached because of how she describes her town. From the description, one might assume it’s a very depressing place to be, hence the many suicides. 2. To believe she is describing the type of trees that are found in The Abyss because the trees that litter her home are known as Weeping Willows. These trees are known to be found near bodies of water, drooping down into the water, hence the dangling bodies.

The way she speaks about Snakes and Bats in lines 11 and 12 is also talked about in an interesting manner, if one takes into consideration how these animals operate. Both these animals technically cannot “see” in the conventional way people think of when they imagine sight and how it works. These animals instead need to sense their environment, so to speak, and navigate their environments differently from other creatures. The snake sees in two-dimensional colour: green and blue and they use their tongue to collect samples of chemical particles that are in the air. Whereas the Bat uses Echolocation to locate their whereabouts, fly and hunt. Therefore, “snakes wanting a midnight kiss…” can be believed that it refers to the snake’s tongue as it flickers in and out of its mouth, and “…bats wanting to see…” refers to how bats see.

Back story: One thing to note about the speaker is that she is the beloved Princess of the Abyss. She has lived there all her life and can be viewed as the ruler of the place. She has duties to fulfil and people to serve. However, Pure Evil lurks in the cracks of The Abyss and consumes her people, and they are all out to get her. It’s oxymoronic because they also love her dearly.

A day arrived when A Prophet passed through the Abyss, seeking rest and shelter. The Prophet ended up becoming an important and a beloved member of The Abyss and unfortunately found himself in a Forbidden Love Scenario with The Princess. It was during the passing when the Forbidden Love sparked, and it was there where the Forbidden Love would die. The beginning of the death of this forbidden love, can be witnessed in line 5 where the Princess says “Silent screams from my wrists…” In this line, the Princess is telling us that something is burning through her wrists and this can signal 2 things: 1. Poison: Poison could be coursing through her veins and that could come from her servants who were against her relationship with The Prophet, or 2. She was so numb and empty from the sadness she had endured in the abyss, that she ended up harming her wrists.

Line 14 describes the Evil that lurks around The Abyss. The evil being Hell, the Devil himself as well as a very powerful Demon called Abbadon. The Love between the Prophet and his Princess was so pure, so rich yet so forbidden, that it intrigued the snakes, the bats and the Evil. It left everyone mesmorised in a hypnotic state, hence line 16: “Hell has taken a break from its evilness…” Every living thing, pure and sinister, felt compelled to witness this innocent love of The Prophet and his Princess. We see that in lines 17 till 19.

The mood in the third stanza takes a significant change. It is lighter, sweeter and almost wholesome as the Princess describes and reminisces her days with the Prophet. The setting also changes as The Princess talks about Kryptonite in line 24. Kryptonite is well known in the superhero community to be Superman’s weakness. Since Kryptonite does not exist on Earth, we are led to believe they went to a different world, where no weaknesses exist. Kryptonite could also symbolize that The Princess sees The Prophet as her Superman. We see that The Princess felt free when she was with The Prophet, the type of freedom she does not feel in The Abyss. For in The Abyss, she is stressed and pressured and she always has to think for others and act in their best interest, even if it suffocates her. The end of line 25 foreshadows a mood change.

The whole of stanza 4 (lines 26 to 31) is the climax of the poem. It is there where we witness what happens to The Abyss, should The Princess prioritize herself and The Prophet dares to love somebody else. Remember that the Prophet was just a guest who was passing through the abyss but ended up being the most loved man in the town. Just as they want their Princess to prioritize them, they also want the Prophet to love them, and nobody else. Upon witnessing the love of the Prophet and the Princess, everything in the abyss descended into chaos and the chaos brought about the death of the Princess.

In this scene (stanza 4), the Princess is back to reality after her adventures away with The Prophet. We see anger seething in the words the Princess utters, because at the end of the day, all she wanted was her happiness, even if that meant abandoning her people. The jealousy, fuelled by the Pure Evil, ended the Princess’ life. The screams are no longer silent.

Stanza 5 has a sombre tone and this is due to the death of The Princess. Here we see The Prophet mourning his Princess during her funeral and we get to see a glimpse of the funeral with the unveiling of the tomb. We see the bittersweet message left on The Princess’s headstone. This leads us into the last stanza of the poem. Stanza 6 is riddled with metaphors as we get to see how The Prophet decides to mourn for his love. The metaphor in lines 35 & 36 can be explained as The Prophet choosing to be cold by locking his heart away as he “…shall rip his heart, swear never to love again...” The Prophet, who was once known for his kind heart and sweet love, has now turned cold at the death of the love of his life. For she is gone and never to return.

In conclusion, the Prophet found his love, loved her dearly and wholly…loved her people dearly and wholly, only to end up losing her in the most painful way at the hands of her people. The lonely Princess found her love, loved him with all the fibers of her being, and suffered a very painful death. In her death, she decided to tell us a story about her home and the love of her life.
