Expose Brutal Crimes

The startled ice horse on the arctic shore
considers why the white-haired sage of truth,
half-morphed from red-furred mermaid state of mind,
bears emerald lamp of ardent dragon eyes
with foolish plan to expose brutal crimes
committed by the king with small gold hands.

Two slender hobbit brothers in brown cloaks,
Gardo and Berto, sons of Rindo Tor,
approach Minotaur in cardinal robe
to ask if they can buy the crystal ball,
but his snake-eyed daughter, wearing white veil,
tosses bruised rose on the polished oak floor.

When blind Artemis in white silk gown
dances rigidly down long moon-lit hall,
brave Gardo lifts two sapphire dragon eyes
from velvet-lined chest of his secret heart
and offers gift of light so she can see,
but the red owl snatches her gems away.

Once she accepts new pair of sapphire eyes,
that gleam blue as the sea after noon storm,
Artemis climbs the rugged hill of skulls
till dryad oak-boy with butterfly wings
grips her slender arms with tender care,
so she turns and kisses him with sad faith.

Holding triangle magnifying glass,
red-feathered owl princess of Zathamar
refracts light of the sacred avian star
to design dynamic wings of the wren
with pen attached to taut violin string
that vibrates with concerto tune of faith.

Pushing through tangled vines of misty woods,
Berto searches for her lost violin
which skitters away on six crooked legs,
but pauses when he sees tall Artemis
in black lace dress, holding large heart-shaped ruby
that pulses with blood of angelic lust.

Gripping ax of wisdom in her left hand,
Artemis analyzes world affairs
while giant cruise ship wrecked on barren shore
shrouds the city skyline with choking smog,
so Berto stands on stump of the oak tree
and asks the ice horse if he understands.

Still attempting to expose brutal crimes
committed by the thief in golden suit,
the hobbit brothers follow Artemis
who leads ghost army to the pyramid
where One Eye watches people of the world
sit at global table of empty plates.

Orpheus bears plates of food for every person living on the Earth gathered in the Temple of Artemis, so they smile and eat while they listen to Apollo on stage sing the Hermead Epic of Philosophers.
