I, The Destroyer I, the destroyer The corrupter of dreams Poisoner of innocent minds Stealing away the future Will their souls survive? I, the destroyer The purveyor of grief The bringer of tears Death and destruction reign Why must they cry? I, the destroyer The taker of souls Consumer of the light Total possession, total control Body, mind, and soul I, the destroyer The slayer of hope The taker of all things good Their lives forever tainted From the sins of the Father "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

The mind seems to race, trying to attribute a concrete scenario to the written word. There are so many dark emotions held in this poem, but yet almost an innocent (?) ambevolance. Hmm... perhaps an over complication on my part. But it is excellent writing and made me stop to think. Intrigued... glad I stopped to read. |

Great writing! Very creative on the dark side but I hope it doesn't reflect on anything in your life and since the destroyer has killed all hope I'll just leave it with very great creative writing.  Prince of Darkness from Dark Passions |

Eagle One, this is a dark, dark poem. It's so simply put but with complexity layered on. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Eagle, in poetry there is only creation it is in life and in fear that we destroy. Excellent poem my friend. Hope that you discover that you also create powerful words Sit down and bargain "Until your tongues are dry If the havoc and the shame continue We'll drown you in our putrefaction" Primo Levi |

Eagle One, there lurks not so deeply within these words a very frightening tale, and I'm sorry to know of it, but I must tell you that you've developed a fine composition and your reader benefits greatly from the enlightenment. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
