"Lucius thinks about his life while in Azkaban. for aphephobia"

[underlucius]

"That's for remembrance..."

Four walls full square, a bed a jug a man,
Hair shorn, wand snapped, the Malfoy power docked
Full forgot by master, wife - unmanned
By lover, cruel, and in the dark, I'm mocked.
I would the walls were white, the ceiling cream
Bright searing light, for they'd not mind of you
Black calls you forth, nightmare, vision, dream
Oh Severus, have you forgotten too?
Is naught for us? No touch for me to hope for?
Is this the life that I have been bestowed?
Are truly lost those youthful words we both swore?
Can I be lost if you are on the road?
The darkness here is deeper than your eyes
Send me rosemary, my boy, and not goodbyes.

This is so creative, so interestingly constructed (haven't seen a sonnet drabble before), and so touching--lovely.

Thank you so much! I got the idea from venivincere and have played in the sonnet-end of the fandom pool a few times now. Lucius just seems to suit them!

Thanks again!

OH. Oh, that is lovely, that is. Sweet and poignant and loving.

And yes, I can picture Lucius thinking in a sonnet. (Or a terzanelle, or a villanelle, or a sestina...)

Thank you! MEAN Severus for letting him languish.

And I can too! Although I'd have to go and experiment with those other types of poetry - I know you've done them

Thanks again!

Whew! I am impressed. A Shakespearean sonnet in mode and tone.

Thank you so much!

Lucius is SUCH a drama queen.

Very clever and original. There needs to be more good poetic fiction in fandom, as opposed to Deathcab for Cutie lyrics altered to reflect the HP characters.

Beautiful, and Lucius fits perfectly with the sonnet form. Raw emotion just poured out of this.
