A fire ignites within the soul of a rose
Eyes are piercing through impenetrable skin
Soon the deep secret within is finally revealed
The mask of a lover, unrobed and in naked purity
Humiliation can cleanse an evil spirit white
The unmasked lover can no longer deceive
A marksman has found the clear shot to the heart
One dash of truth, a pint of reality, and a spoon of gold
The old man has now become a neophyte of lies
Cries of agonizing dishonor engross the room
Curtains of crimson come to a yellow glow
The key to attain salvation has been found among the ruins
A deceitful soul has become exposed to the masses
Atoms separate, falling to the floor with resonance

A murderer, found in the dead leaves of dawn
“He has taken my lies!” the unmasked man cries
Put into a box for further review
Now all hopes to obtain glory have faded in deception
But he cannot complain because he has done harm
Everyone next to him has suffered great defamation
Staining their blood, ink black....permanent
Feast of friends has finally taken its toll
Humanity as once known is now a theory of ash
But the rose, oh that wonderful rose
Saved thoughts and preserved all good
Oh that rose, that wonderful rose...

Where is this going? All I see is a bunch of unrelated lines with no cohesive ties. There are a couple of interesting lines and a few tired cliches and the rest just seems to be unrelated fill. Sorry but I honestly don't know what you can do with it.

Is there something you particularly liked, lighkeeper?

This has great potential, but I think Pete's right. You're letting the line break control the poem.

It is a tool. Use it, don't be used by it.

I definitely think it deserves another shot.

How about it?
