Poem Doom
« on: December 19, 2010, 12:14:00 PM »
Seriously, poem doom. This thing is depressing. However, it kind of eased my nastiness somewhat. And it actually doesn't suck. So here it is.

Poison, my old familiar friend
We dance a dance macabre and I cannot know its end
Your cruel touch courses through my veins
My heart fails like a flower in the snow
Yet in spring I seek winter
For my soul to know

I bloom like a lily in the water
Perfect through blind eyes
Such people are not wise
I carry their burdens for my sake
Until the Reaper finds my heart to take

I tease Death, though I hear his knell
Manipulation serves me well
I am no coward, never will I be
For there are those that seek me

The sun begins days and red tones end
The same gray moments again and again
It is no wonder with bated breath
That I seek the darkness in my glory
Such is my constant story

Though such toxins wound my grand game
The moments light my passion aflame

And I put my pen to paper
Here and now, and always.

This presents an interesting marriage of imagery, particularly nature-related. I like it, Kelly!

Also, interesting rhyme scheme and stanza formats. I feel like I need to know more about poetry to appreciate it more...
