Like Unto A Leopard (Villanelle)

Like Unto A Leopard

Upon a throne of blood, my guardian resides
In desperate isolation, he tailors my disguise
I think I'm being bred to be the anti-christ

Like unto a leopard, the prophecy indites
The second coming usurps after the first has died
Upon a throne of blood, my guardian resides

With all outward appearances as of one beatified
Timid and helpless, and passionately untried
I think I'm being bred to be the anti-christ

Everybody wants to be different, to walk the thin lines
Between changing the world, and rearranging your mind
Upon a throne of blood, my guardian resides

Escape into the world, I am shaken by a heist
Of my ideals, and stolen from my kind
Upon a throne of blood, my guardian resides
I think I'm being bred to be the anti-christ

    Wow, this really is a dark poem. I'm not used to dark poems, I don't understand them many times, but I can tell that this one is good. It does feel original.

    I loved some things about this poem of yours. I really liked the repetition of this line:

    I think I'm being bred to be the anti-christ

    It made it strong and meaningful.

    My favorite part of this poem was the first stanza, especially the second line.

    Great job! 5/5

    Keep writing.
