Amidst black roses

0 posted 2006-08-09 08:01 AM


He stands with a cruel smile on his face
Humorously wondering who wants grace?
Wallowing in the gleefull enjoyment of inflicting
This horrid torture, suffering on his victim

In him the demon screams its need
Admiring this masterpeice, its perfect seed
He has long ago left his morals, his worries
Staring at the blood drenched slaughtered bodies

All that consumes him now is his lust of blood
Vengance unleashed on the world as a flood
His heart is dead and black as coal
Only cruel heartless sadistic hatred in soul

The darkness that lurks in your nightmare
Killing you with the evil of its glare
He is the voice of evil, the embodyment of fears
In his wake all thats left are bitter tears

In him there is no love
From slain enemies are his gloves
He seeks only his own gain
Bringing to the world naught but pain

Stood against him have the men of this earth
Now they lie forgotten, but a tale for the hearth
His power from beyond the grave
Gone are those who acted foolish, acted brave  

Of pain and destruction he seeks more
He is death, pain and war
From him the harbinger of doom
The end will come so soon

Never for him a sympathetic ear
hurt and torn, on his face a single tear
In the soft ligh of dawn
He stands alone, forlorn

In his soul some thing stirs
Hope? Love? Happiness? nothin but a blurr
And slowly and painfully he watches it die
For whats lost in him, no one cries.

Regarding the world with pure animosity
His name is atrocity  

A sign in  the wind
The fatal last breath
Soft prelude to death
Alone
Amidst black roses

Hey Digital_hell,

Amazing poem, and I'm not just saying that. It takes a lot to absorb everything you've said, I believe that even if I read this poem over and over and over, etc, I'd never understand it completely. It’s a very in-depth sort of poem to read, if you know what I mean.

I loved the darkness of the whole thing, of how "he" forgets his morals and falls away from who "he" used to be.

It was another interesting read by you and I hope that you'll continue posting more, sooner rather than later since I see you haven't posted in awhile...

Thanks for sharing this delicious read

This reminds me of a poem I wrote about someone selling their soul to Satan, in exchange for power.  Atrocity is indeed a force unto itself, and it is a shame the world is afflicted with it.  Unfortunatly, it would seem as if our worst nature gets the best of us all to often.  Good use of imagery and rhyme, although the rhyme scheme could have been a bit more varied.  Good job.
