Ok, my first poem. My poems tend to be quite angsty and not many of them rhyme but I find that they have more of an artistic charm that way. Anyway, this is the Disney version of Hunchback Of Notre Dame and is set after Frollo sees the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda dance at the Festival Of Fools…and as always, he is torn between lust and hate. I'm very pleased with this poem but let me know if I need to improve so please R&R.
Rated T for sexual references, and extreme feelings of hate. Also involves religion.
I do not own Hunchback of Notre Dame.
The Mysterious Dancing Girl
A puff of smoke hit the stage
A swirling figure appeared within it
An olive-skinned beauty with mesmerising eyes
As she pranced about provocatively
She threw a glance at every male in sight
Like a deadly viper hypnotising its prey
She attempted to seduce me but it was all an act
However she left her silk scarf as a souvenir
I caress the soft texture of its material
Wishing it was replaced with her soft, supple body
For just one night of meaningless passion
Yet if I did, I would compromise my promise of heaven
And instead be banished to the hellish underworld
I curse myself for falling victim to her charms
By doing so I condone witchcraft
She encapsulates the sin of lust, the devil's whore
I pray to be saved from the sin of Eve
All my desires for the flesh expelled
Please send me to Purgatory
I will resist the flames of redemption
I will be the ideal repentant sinner
For it is the only way to break the spell
The spell of temptation with which she plagued me
Right now, it coarses through my fragile veins
I curse the day I laid eyes on
That mysterious dancing girl.
Please leave a review, I'd love some feedback on this!
