Death

One heart, one soul
One body not quite whole.
Shining knives, bloody stars
Cut the wind with many scars.
Children cry, tainted dreams
Hollowed sky and broken seams.
Liquid snow, frosted rain
A crimson shirt of murder's stain.
Frosted fires, glaring red
Blinded by the silent dread.
Burning moon, haunting sun
Life hath gone, death hath won.

=====
This is, no doubt, the darkest poem I've ever written so far. I don't know if I'll continue with this dark materials thing, in case I scare myself...heh.

Until next time,
Leah

Wow... very dark.  This is one that really made me sit back and have to think.  I loved the last lines... "death hath won."  I really loved the flow throughout this piece.  THe rhyme scheme was VERY well done.  The images you portray are excellent... you are such a talented poet.  This is definitely a piece to be proud of.. can't wait to see more!

WOW! You have blown me away, Leah. Jeez, you're a talented little muffin, aren't you?  
The flow you had in this very well done and the imagery is exceptional. I really hope you're proud of this because it is one of your better pieces. Actually, it is one of the best i have read.
Keep 'em coming.
