A poem I've written some weeks ago..

So, I figured that I'd post this latest poem I've written. I don't know what you guys would say about it but I guess, I somehow need to 'vent', creatively. Do post your interpretations of the poem as they always intrigue me and I get to learn more about what I've written because of them.

Deflection
By KZBPascual

--These powers mine pen shalt now behold
were sorrows, delights, of a tale I ne'er told.
With this ink bright, through a quill, mine abode
now cometh to end, betwixt one lad and an oath.--


They raise their glass with much delight;
you come home as bright as the stars at night
like Hektor celebrated by his Troy,
he who defended  his city from Akhilleus's assault.
Even the victors would bow their heads down;
the demented would relinquish his frown
for a marvel now you are,
from the muds of the Undersight, you've arise.
Should I cross your path, condemned I would be
I, now one not worthy of your apathy.
What for was it that I paid with my hopes?
Ah! It was for the once shadow to be crowned with sun's gems.
O how Fate turned the wheel
for an audacious call to be given heed.
Truth  locked in mirrors, deflecting the seeking
of the masked one in his quandary.

Shame be yours, O young lad!
Glories you took, against my name you assailed.
Honor once mine you bequeathed;
my soul seized, envenomed, encaged—
free yourself from vanity, this travesty—
as this reflection here you see
is vindication of the spiteful mind.


-FIN-
