Amidst black roses

0 posted 2006-08-06 12:00 PM


In the fires soft golden light
The demon in me howls in fright
For on this night of the flame
Ive cast aside my hurt, my pain
To him the end of my sin
For i offer up a solemn hymn
My angels sweet voice at last i hear
It removes the shackles of fate, my fear
But with a soft and sibilant hiss
Gone is all this happy bliss
Back again the haunts of past
As darkness encroaches so fast
Somewhere in the dark a woman cries
As in a boy, poor hope dies.

A sign in  the wind
ringed by the falling petals
Alone
Amongst black roses

Wow! This gives you the creeps to read... I hate/love how it starts out with the feeling of being "down" than builds you up and tears you down again. It's awesome how you can do that with such few words...

Thanks for sharing! This was/is an enjoyable poem for me to read

"I pray thee, O God, that I
may be beautiful within."
–Socrates

Very dark and filled with feeling. The wanting of the kiss and the doom it brings. I enjoyed this piece a lot.

Thanks for posting it!
