Les Lignes d'un Narcisse
From the point of view of
Andromeda Tonks
about her sister
Narcissa Malfoy…
Narcissist,
once I called you sister;
now nothing but a distant memory that
fades with the winter.
You were so cold;
drawn to those whose sneers were constant.
Corrupter of minds,
once, in turn, corrupted,
and the bearer of icy superiority… always
endlessly
hopelessly
desperately
keeping up appearances.
Even your last breath had to be perfect.
Delusion and betrayal
were your only companions as you
slipped away with the fall into the
icy depths of a winter you could not escape.
Now lying dormant, your
cold and indifferent heart that once
beat with the steady rain of galleons
through those pianist's fingers.
Materialism was all you were, yet know
that your death speaks hope for
your not quite gone son, whose
sneer has nearly been erased these days.
He would like to think you're proud, but
I know better.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who is the fairest of them all?
Now that your Vanity Queen has
vanished without a trace?
Narcissist,
once I called you sister.
But alas,
no longer.

so, i'm still deciding whether i like this one or not... i'll be the first to admit my poerty's a little obscure.
the Black sisters have always been a point of curiosity with me - we don't know very much about them at all and yet, they add a lot to the books in their own individual ways, Bellatrix and Narcissa in particular, seeing as how Andromeda's rarely mentioned.
so the idea for this collection came last night (or this morning, depending on how you roll) at about 3am when i was having trouble sleeping and i was randomly writing lines down a page and all of a sudden i had beginnings for about four or five different poems about different characters and points of views, etc. so voila, here it is. of course, if it turns out my poetry is complete garbage i'll just hit that delete button and we'll all be rid of it. -smiles-
