Chivs86 Poetry: Beneath the Surface (Minotaur's Circus)
Beneath the Surface (Minotaur's Circus).
Down below -
in a place where nobody knows,
is a secret;
hidden away in the deepest,
places..
Is a creature that's caved in,
a labyrinth,
of hidden mazes/
-
Imagine,
looking at the face of danger;
a route to go through with no escape.
a place where a monster lays in wait,
beneath the surface,
to eat the murdered..
-
Like cheese burgers,
a regular re-occurrence,
a place too dark to see -
out the curtains.
-
a place where evils lurking;
Dare you come on tour,
seek the disturbance;
-
A place of people hurting,
dare you be the main show -
at the the Minotaur's circus/
-
A freak show that's to be determined,
A head with two horns, with a taste for virgins;
Awaiting his prey to worm their way in,
Beneath the earth, into this secret world/
-
Too dark to see,
but you might have heard him,
anytime you've seen above the dirt shaking.
-
Making a sound inside your head
of a bull seeing red,
that's were the beast has been bred,
Underneath inside the Minotaur's nest/

Story/ Inspiration
I wrote this article as a poetry assignment for one of my writing websites, I decided to post it on here because of it's high ratings. My inspiration though I would of said was already dormant in my brain and manifested from my interest in greek mythology. I did at one stage consider the topic of middle earth but, as soon as the words started to flow I instantly knew I'd be writing about the labyrinth of the Minotaur and here it is. I added a little couple of lines on the end from the original but, I was editing it anyway and wanted to make it longer.

Before he ascended the throne of Crete, Minos struggled with his brothers for the right to rule. Minos prayed to Poseidon to send him a snow-white bull, as a sign of approval by the gods for his reign. He promised to sacrifice the bull as an offering - Labyrinth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
