Though mere mortal that I be,
I clap my hands in timphany--
may thunder echo rolls of drum
and lightning be my spot of sun.

I, of simple flesh and bone,
weary of this pledge--atone--
I curse the gods that have cursed me--
I say the gods have blasphemied.

I will not cower in my fate--
I kick the locks from garden gate.
I will be damned eternally,
but I'll be damned before concede.

I will stand to face my judge.
I'll stomp my feet in puddled blood.
I raise my fist to gods unseen--
I will not die upon my knees.

Defiant, I, am the accused--
I dare to meet the gaze of Zeus.

smiling at the vision
of you, shoulders set
feet planted
teeth clenched
hands balled
shaking them at a hurricane
what force on earth could
stand up to that?
I hope this means
you are feeling better?
hug

has anyone ever told ya that you have some wicked ways with metaphors
gawwwd I love the way you rhyme
this rocks baby...kicks my poetic butt!!

In the space between now and then
I lost the fire, lost a friend
and Ill never be the same again
Still, I believe in the innocence
we gave away.

Serenity,
You shook God(s) from His(Her/Its) tree.

Now it's time to watch the climb back up.

Astounded,
Mike

Why are you so placid?
                  
I love it!

in the capture of the I
and in hold of your reply...
