Hey all, first off, thanks for reading. This is the first I've written in a while so sorry if its rusty. Please let me know what you think.

Every half beat
the heart of love stops,
for those in its path
another tear drops.

Night falls onto
the face of the sun,
a whole new cycle
of pain has begun.

Death starts to rise
as life starts to fall,
the Angels weep while
the demons enthral.

The future falls
behind the present,
as the stars spiral
to mortal descent.

The soul is worth
it's weight in feathers,
and all hope has been
cut up and teathered.

The waters part
the land turns to wind,
theres no return
for those who have sinned.

No more shadows
left to hide behind,
when darkness rules and
nothing is refined.

Don't fight the force
to breath is to die,
give into the fire
and don't dare to cry.

Every half beat
the heart of love stops,
for those in its path
another tear drops.

~Alicia~

Outstanding poem here!
"Don't fight the force
to breath is to die,
give into the fire
and don't dare to cry."
Loved this part.
Wonderful use of repetition with the first and last stanza. Gave the poem a wonderful closure. Hope to see more VERy soon!

Splendid poem.  Flowed well and had good wordings.
I don't think this was rusty at all, in fact, I'm quite impressed.
Reminds me of the talent you always had, but didn't give us much of a glimpse of.
Glad to see you posting again.

I thought you did well. I especially liked how you repeated the first stanza. Well done here.

'ello  

Not rusty in anyway. LIAR! You shouldn't post that because people will read it expecting crap and this isn't crap.  
It read through really well and there were some great lines in it. Like these. I love these!

"Death starts to rise
as life starts to fall,
the Angels weep while
the demons enthral."

Very cool. Well done. Hope to see more.

Nice.  The last stanza used again was a good idea.  Made it sound more complete and full.
The emotions on paper is what is important in the end.  Any amount of talent just decorates it.
And this poem is a christmas tree.
