NOVEMBER FORETOLD

Walk on, towards your grave
and leave behind your humanity
reverends of the plague
one by one, watch them fall

a never ending stairway
filled with agony of memories
incomplete but what is missing?
no essence,just someone to forsake

3 thousand years for each of my tears
inmortality inside your fears
whats left to remember, just november
time of cold, and shadows that foretold

keeper of my isolated sanctuary
keeper of my secrets in my tomb
land where flowers bloom
keeper of a cold mortuary

3 thousand years for each of my tears
inmortality inside your fears
whats left to remember, just november
time of cold, and shadows that foretold

Ok this is an old song of mine,I really don't like it that much, but I thought I'd post it since were in november and this was written last november cause of some **** that had happened. Enjoy!

-C.M.

Most people write songs to sound good in my experience, it's rare to see someone writing one as a form of poetic expression.  But I might just be a very sheltered little virus, mightn't I?
I like your use of language in the poem.  Some good words, like mortuary, helped improve the effect.

¡Hola Carlos! ^__^;;;
Geez...*paces back and forth*
What've you been eating? Whatever it is...I WANT SOME NOW!!! hehe.
*wonders what she's been eating...*
*Ahem*
*stares at poem* You know...this is really dark. Really deep dark. Really...foreboding. It gives a nice sense of theme to your poem. Even your title matches it!

"3 thousand years for each of my tears"

My only critique is...spell out numbers rather than put them stark naked. I personally think it looks better in poems, and it gives more impact. If you only put "3" there, it doesn't seem to hit me as a big number, regardless of the "thousand" that followed. Do I make any sense? Probably not, but you're a smart boy, and you'll figure it out...I hope. lol. ^^;

Keep a-postin'! ^___^;

Yea this definitely sounds like a song!  It's good, I like the vocabulary that you used.  It's really deep.  Good work!

You did pretty good
I never actually though of it as a song
not till you said something in the end
keep sharing

là où est mon amour?
donde está mi amour?
wo ist meine Liebe?
