The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

0 posted 2002-11-07 01:54 PM


Take my skin,
And wear it for your own.
Take all that I got,
To the place where evil is sewn.

Through this fruitful land,
I beseech you.
I can only count that,
Your words are true.

Take my moment,
Pass it out of existence.
Just leave the things,
For my child to experience.

Once again I beg you,
Leave it be.
So my seed may come,
And se his spirit free.

Time tries all men,
And mine is almost up.
Cut me open and,
Pour my blood in your cup.

I hope drinking it,
Will suffice.
For this is my child’s,
Sacrifice.

Fourth stanza, last line, there's a typo i think. blah I really really liked this poem. the flow was great, line spacings were placed very well i think. you had a great, strong opening and you followed through with that to the end. i hate it when a poem opens strong and just trails off, but this was consistent(sp). great write, this is in my. library.

I really enjoyed all of it. I couldn't name a fav line or stanza b/c you held strong throughout the whole thing. YAY for you!
Great write...ready to see some more from you.

Very nice write, Darkness.  You're getting more comfortable with imagery, I see... I like your description of terrain in this poem, kind of gave the storyline a bit of a setting.

You carried through very nicely in this and I agree with Tiff that the quality is very consistent.  Excellent work.
