𓆙 The Guardian Of My Hall 𓆃
✩ a poem for TIC 6 prompt from the writing workshop of @obliquitywrites
╰➤ the prompt: an AU based on The Picture of Dorian Gray, genre: Victorian Adventure
(Yes, I completely ignored the fact it was supposed to be a script. I'm a demon, I don't obey rules. X)
There's an ethereal picture in a case,
A halo of curls, an angel with grace.
I wonder why it's hidden in the dark room,
Covered in cobwebs like an image of gloom.
I often find myself sneaking down the staircase
Just to catch a glimpse of that fascinating face.
The stormy blue eyes give me chills,
He looks so gorgeous in a cravat and frills.
My lank fingers itch to reach out and trace
The lovely delicate lines of the white lace.
He looks like a lord in all of his glory,
I want to be a part of his Victorian story.
All I can do is to take him to my place,
Hang him between the plants and the bookcase
Right in the middle of the blank wall,
Let him be the guardian of my hall.
