Hi guys, thanks to those of you who replied to my poem 'Bad Influence'. I'm enjoying reading the poems on here, I haven't had time to reply to all of them yet but they're all great! Anyway, here's a poem I wrote in March. It's about 3 fictional characters from a British television show - those of you who live in the UK might know which one... IN THE NAME OF LOVE You lie here in the silence, beneath the living world, Your body stirs no more, your life story has been told. With nothing but the darkness to befriend your weary flesh, It came and claimed your life - the impartial curse of Death. But is your soul not resting, is your spirit not asleep? Is your mind still thinking about that love that was so deep? Do you still possess the memories of the woman you adored? Of the one who shaped your soul, the one you felt so strong towards? You lay there in the wreckage where the peril lurked in wait, Your life hung in the balance and you heard the laugh of Fate. The mocking flames drew closer as the clock of Life ticked by, Fate seemed to be against you - you didn’t want to die. But as the heats tongue stung you, did you ever feel the fear? Was your conscience screaming out, did you want to hold her near? Did you, as thoughts were racing, think about your Light, your Sun? Did your feelings punch and kick you - was she your only one? When Death you had defeated and the time bomb never blew, You stumbled out of danger and into Lara’s arms you flew. The deadly trap behind you had erupted into flames, You were safe now from all harm - Death had lost its game. But as your arms held Lara, was there something on your mind? Did you see a different face – a face you longed to find? Was there a burning deep inside that failed to succumb When Lara touched your skin – a pain that’s never gone? You sat there in the diner exchanging thoughts and words Of how scared you both had been when in the snare you were captured. You took hold of Lara’s hand and gazed deep into her eyes, And you, upon her finger, placed a gold ring for her prize. But as you did those actions, did you feel that they were wrong? Were you drowning out the notes of true love’s graceful song? Was there an inner force that was tugging at your heart? As you produced the diamond token, did you feel it fall apart? Lara left your table and your head began to spin, Your eyes started to flicker and pay the price you did begin. The world became so distant, your ears they heard their last, You fell onto the floor, and consciousness whisked past. But as Lara kneeled beside you, were you able to reflect? Were you thinking of your girl when through your body Fate did trek? Did you, within your dazed mind, wonder if and how and when Your one desire, your Angel, you would see again? You lay upon your Deathbed and you fought to stay alive, People rushed around you, Lara pleaded by your side. For Death, in all its anger, does not like to be outdone, It would not yet be defeated until its job was done. But as Fate clasped your heart, did you ever want to cry? Did you madly search within you for any reason why? Had you realised too late that some evil high above Was prepared to take your life - to destroy the gift of Love? The darkness did not cease; you could see the door of Death, There was nothing left to do except to draw in your last breath. It grasped its prize with glee, it had played its game and won, It took your soul on upwards – your subsistence then was none. So you lie here in God’s bedroom, behind Death’s huge locked doors, You fail to exist now; your body moves no more. Ruthless Fate has stolen your only life out from your clutch, You’ll stay here in the silence ‘till your body turns to dust. And here the story ends, there is nothing left to say, Now there will be no tomorrow - only yesterday. But is your heart still beating for your Candle, Torch, your Flame? For true love never dies… And Holly was her name. Lisa 22/03/02 |

Thanks for replying :-) It's probably not my best poem - it was a challenge trying to make it all rhyme! |
