I'm warning you all in advance, I have no idea where that title came from, because this poem is just a fun one (to write) with a boat load of figurative language, that is basically about Celeana/Aelin and Arobynn's relationship (although the magic act is figurative for their assassinations) Again, no idea where the title came from. Enjoy!
Ivory Towers
You, the magician, rearranged my mind
Ensnared my senses
Rendered me numb
Until nothing remained except my heart,
Fluttering against a golden cage.
You convinced me i could love.
And despite my immobility,
I believed you.
You made me your assistant, the jester,
Juggling your subtle threats
While i balanced my attraction to you
On my head
Your unreliable loyalty
Could only be hidden for so long
But you made no grand spector
Of it's unveiling
In fact, i did it myself
When the initial attraction
Tumbled down and the immense curiosity
That replaced it
Undid the shackles
On my arms and legs
Amongst my bafflement and isolation
I came to realize that you abandoned
Our magic act
Where did you vanish to?
I found you at another stand
Applauding a girl with her midriff exposed
And her skirt beckoning you forward
I ceased my incessant threat juggling act
Throwing them at you like knives
Pinning your hands at her hips
If you have cursed me to my post in your life
Then i'll do the same for you to hers
Do not come back and sweet talk me
And do not chain me again
But thank you for allowing me
To live a fantasy
In your cage i was a child
Outside of it - a woman
My only regret was to come to find
That even ow after all this time
I could've directed your magic act all by
myself
That was so much fun to write, I really like it, and even though the magic thing was a little strange, I am still proud that I managed to get their relationship so spot on! (in my opinion) Till next time! Bye!
