function(life);
urban lines flow like vines
twisted grinding, choking the light
from the street lamps life
A matter of time until the gate falls
gaping wide, doomed, constrived
moving forward, stumbling down
Injured by self, own kind to blame
though blame is indifferent
just another one to stab and blind
Taken in, shown my care
crying and shaking
to stand there naked, to stare.
I let her go, cold outside
she felt no escape
vice grip holds the heart
An eternity of noise
wrapped with silence
would pass but 30 minutes
The attack begins, the vines would stalk
stretching out, reaching for limbs
one foolish soul to walk unharmed
two just left, blood brothers to stand
we ran and ran, fleeing the slaughter
persued through life and love, life.fate
Unscathed, still standing
heart drumming, soldiers stood still
we broke through the battle, we live our life through


Sorry folks, im pushed for time right now, i'll be back later so i can review some pieces then

Well I realize a "welcome" is a little late, but I'm reading through the archives this morning and found this rather intriguing.

I really like the drama of the word choices here and the spooling out of the vivid visuals reminded me of goth comics.

I'm already smiling thinking of the possibilities of that too.

Hmmm....

hope you stuck around, this was/is intriguing and hopefully *ahem* it will prove inspirational to me as well.

Thanks
