Destiny Wars Clinking steel, swishing, swooping, snaking, The bloody spear slices through me. Requiem of shattered tranquillity, Tatters of flesh hang from my heart. Beautiful Death cooling the fire in my breast, Lowering my shield, melting my armour, Removes his cloak to reveal Destiny. Psychotic schizophrenic, Spirit of a thousand hidden facets, Enamel eyes, seeing only what she decreed, Opens her mouth in an Opera of metal filings, Slicing through my soul like the spear before her, Pointing to the universal map, showing me my trail. Swaddled in mist, the path fades beyond today. Turning to her in silent pleading, An angel has replaced the demonic fiend. Smiling sweetly, innocent as a babe, Fathomless eyes reflecting my every emotion, Shaking her head in the answer I already know. Wordlessly I limp on, stretching out before me A vast unknown chasm, Life beyond control. Striving to see Light in Darkness’s Reign, Following a Rainbow of Deception, Surrendering self to what must be, Laying down the spear, fighting no more, Twisted armour of false protection remains, Threads of Truth and Filaments of Faith, The Whole waiting at my inexistent Destination. The furious, frenetic fight merely an illusion, Shimmering in the golden spheres of memory, The spear and shield lie half buried in the rust of disuse. The Knight now no more than an ivory conch, Savage seas, swishing over and through and by, Hollowing it out, wearing it down: O Shell indestructible! Carried along by fluctuating tides, Destination Nowhere. "Gorge the honey from life, and live through the stomach aches knowing they will pass..." ~Liz Pinard 2003~ [This message has been edited by ESP (05-03-2003 07:24 PM).] |

Wonderfully done. Definitely a vote getter. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

This is an amazing poem... the sound alone of the words as they bounce or slide off one another is very well achieved...  a beautiful and thought provoking post.... "more than yesterday, less than tomorrow, i love you" |
