A F451 love poem. Montag thinks about Beatty.
Shameless F451 love poem. Whatever man I don't even care anymore.
A mimic based on Sonnet 130: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun by William Shakespeare. Two lines of the poem are inspired by the song kerosene by tart.
The burning fires my Captain so enjoys;
Glacier is far less icy than his fate;
To raise the flames, the salamander’s voice;
To feed the hounds, the firemen terminate.
I feel the words remembered by the few,
Peculiar, to hear the same from him;
The need for kerosene to dull my view
Or something sweeter, for our future’s dim;
I never cared for violence or for peace
Except for him, whom I’m bound to betray;
If I was anything but a chess piece;
My Captain, he commands, still, I obey.
And yet, by God, I think I love him still
Burned into what is left of my free will.
