Surprise Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 [hide= No Sand Left In The Timer] Here is the calm before the storm,The time to speak unspoken words,To reveal everything that is true,Time to no longer to hide in the shadowsWill you stand or will you flee? I won’t bite my tongue.No longer will I play second fiddle,Waiting, frightened, worried,But that was then,And this is now. So stand you coward,Face the unspoken demons,You cannot run forever,Eventually you must face it,And I will not wait. So this is your last chance,Your final roll of the dice,Be grateful you got this far,Not many do,But then again…Not many were like you.[/hide] [hide=Sin] He lay succumbed,All emotions benumbedHidden in the mountain of sin,God’s promise was rescindAnd Death just grinned. He reached out,Trying to find the way,Back to the path of lifeBegging with his dying breath,Please, just one more roll of the dice. Death was not the plan,He envisioned far moreLove would be outranHe would not take on that soreIt was what he truly abhorred. He had been unaware,He refused to forbear,Spinning a web of lies,Plotting his own demise,And Death was laughing. Satan reignedHis heart bledThe darkness gained The light fledAnd God ran. Hell he was destined His soul was coarsenedTo Death’s tender armNo longer need to creptAnd God wept. The lines were no longer blurryHe could finally seeWhy did God not say?Why must his life pay?And he died. [/hide] [hide=Amor] You used to be so aliveA person of aweSomebody who thrivedBut, alas, that is no more. Crashing from the heavensYou fell so farIt left a burning scarYour soul shattered, Your dignity tattered. Unsure of where to turnOr how you would returnYou dived deepShielding the painLiving was too much strain But you’re still thereHidden underneathBuried under the weightThis is not your fateIt’s not too late So turn you cowardStand with meDeath will be cheatedTogether empoweredYour demons will be defeated. This is not your endYou will re ascendYour heart will mendJust fight the shame And let love reclaim. [/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I like it! Though, it's abit depressing.. and I'm not sure I agree with the "biblical principles" or whatever. 92 Fishing | 92 Firemaking | 92 Dungeoneering | 99 Cooking100% FTP | 800+ Total | 19 Combat Optima dies.. prima fugit. .::.

Dheginsea Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Wow I'm very impressed with the poem, although I'm not really the religious type. But I definitely like how you portrayed death. I once met a man named Jesus at a Home Depot. Is this the Messiah returned at last? And i once beat someone named Jesus in a chess game. Does that mean I'm smarter than the messiah?BOW TO THE NEW MESSIAH Maybe a president who didn't believe our soldiers were going to heaven, might be a little less willing to get them killed. ~ Bill MaherBarrows drops: 2 Karil's Coifs (on double drop day) 92,150th person to 99 defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surprise Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thank you, I'm not even religious just use religious ideals and twist them into a darker sense which is my current project I'm starting on tomorrow. And it will be depressing as it's my coping mechanism to deal with excess emotions and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocefisso Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Very quick critique: I think that both poems, though good, could be made better and more 'poetic' by: a) Abandoning the artifical and restrictive rhyme scheme (this, I suppose, is more of an opinion/preference, but I feel that rhyme schemes are not necessary in poetry, and needn't be forced upon a poem) b) Punctuate the poems to make them more readable. Otherwise, I'd say these are pretty impressive.

Surprise Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks, another poem has been added to the top. It's short and may have a feeling of being rushed and unpolished but it literally came together within 5 minutes of starting to write. I do plan in future of polishing it off but here's the rough skeleton I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
