Hero Some call me a Rebel. I fight for what I consider right. Some call me a Champion. I help the oppressed against the terrors of night. Some call me a Vigilantie. My only companion of cold steel under my arm. Some call me a Hero. I do my part to keep the innocent from harm. I am none of these. I once struck a bargain with a devil. I needed his help to complete a task. His payment for his service was simple. just an unnamed favor he could later ask. I'd almost forgotten my debt. Then I came across him later that year. He called my favor for his payment due. In his plan of ruination I could not interfere. But I cannot stand idle by. While others suffer from his crusade. A Hero's word is his bond. A contract is his promise made. Who ever said I was a Hero? -Sparks |

Welcome to passions  sometimes i feel that some how i've made a pact with the devil, i get inner strength to solve everyones problems, i'm always there when they need me. the flip side to that is, when my time of darkness comes......i stand alone. Great Poem! take care, Broken Wings "As you learn and grow, you will realize the greater the pain, the greater the growth." -IYANLA VANZANT |

great first post welcome to passions ! But I cannot stand idle by. While others suffer from his crusade. A Hero's word is his bond. A contract is his promise made. funny how we can always find the words to offer advice or help someone in need but when it is ourselves in need our voices suddenly grow quiet out of pride or weakness or maybe both ...

Some call me a Vigilantie. My only companion of cold steel under my arm. Some call me a Hero. I do my part to keep the innocent from harm. ----------------------- I disagree, anyone who does the job you speak of here is a hero in my eyes. Welcome to passions Spark, its nice to have you with us... ery well written piece here, strong images... powerful emotions...we all dance with the devil sometimes. take care, jm and you can say baby... baby can I hold you tonight maybe if told you the right words... at the right time, you'd be mine... baby can I hold you tonight... tracy chapman |

The blood surrounded his throne burning like petroleum singeing my legs yet i stood tall as i stared him in the eye and gratefully gave away that which is mine. In happines i live without the burde nor the heart that piled the hurt on all the death is nolonger mine as it escapes from my chest. I will live without needs eternaly. Did you write the Book of Love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Do you believe in rock 'n roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow |

Welcome to Passions, and what an interesting first post!! What is a hero indeed? My answer a man who puts others before himself.. Awaiting your next poem!! There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

your heart is that of a hero, your passions abound in heroic deeds. I weep for what might have been, and revel that you have evolved |
