Halls of the Spider King and the Temple of the Dog
As I sit upon a throne of golden words,
Behold, Something wicked this way comes
Words and music, it’s all I’ve ever known
and I really wish my heart was young,,, I know my life’s only just begun
I wish I could sing to you about the releasing of the doves,
But insides ache and are filled with old man bones,
It seems I’m dwelling in the home of the spider king and the temple of the dog
the home of Golden words, music seduces away my soul,
Leaving me wishing I was beautiful inside and out,
I want to show that I’m ready to move on
But I could never go,
Without words and music, I never would live long,
But sometimes after it rains
My eyes think they have seen the coming of the Lord,
Clouds are parted and the sky is painted, mountains sing out loud
It’s a glorious time for me
But still I wear a crown of thorns
In the halls of the spider king, and the temple of the dog
Behold, Something wicked this way comes
Words and music, it’s all I’ve ever known
and I really wish my heart was young,,, I know my life’s only just begun
I wish I could sing to you about the releasing of the doves,
But insides ache and are filled with old man bones,
It seems I’m dwelling in the home of the spider king and the temple of the dog
the home of Golden words, music seduces away my soul,
Leaving me wishing I was beautiful inside and out,
I want to show that I’m ready to move on
But I could never go,
Without words and music, I never would live long,
But sometimes after it rains
My eyes think they have seen the coming of the Lord,
Clouds are parted and the sky is painted, mountains sing out loud
It’s a glorious time for me
But still I wear a crown of thorns
In the halls of the spider king, and the temple of the dog

Really awesome write, Deadwolf! I like how you intertwined snippets from different songs, into one, as your own.

Hello Madame; its been a while my friend; How have you been... Thank you friend, it was fun to write, very Cathartic for me writing this, was kinda coming face to face with demons I sometimes struggle with... But, if you could help me, I am a student right now, I know the something wicked this way comes, and the line temple of the dogs, have been used in past writes or song, but do to being a student right now, they got me paranoid of plagiarism, even if I don't see it, is always possible a tune in my head that I forget is there, guides inspiration, did it look more like plagiarizing, or inspiration like Zeppelin has done in the past? hehehe, am just curious, also, incase it looks it, am on 3 days study mode for final assignment, maybe should crash for a few an relook at with fresh eyes hehehe, you take care my friend: wolf / Eddie

No problem Eddie, and I think as long as it's not a direct quote without a nod to the author, then it's not plagiarism. I didn't think that at all--just that it alluded to various songs. Would be a cool idea for a competition though--make a song/poem from many songs!

I really love your work. My husband passed a few months ago and this site is so good for me and yet sometimes I forget that I am a member. You were one of the first poets I followed and I do enjoy your poetry. This one especially speaks to me because of the suffering aspects of it. Thank you.
