The guides of the soul

Escorts of death

This is not an abstract concept
Behind me follows a bad prospect
But beside walks a being with virtue
This one I hope to give my soul to

They seem like they follow aimlessly
Maybe with both is a vacancy
I could not foresee what that could be
Could there be, inside, two sides to me

Maybe inside lies both angel and beast
In my old age there chance is reached
The fight was always to be separated
My earth life line will be terminated

You see behind me walks two snatchers
Both here waiting for the last chapters
Both waiting for my expiration date
From my body, my soul to liberate

The first option deals with souls demonic
The minds that lean toward the psychotic
Of the underworld he is the bookkeeper
He is known as the Grim reaper

The second deals with the souls divine
Their morale compass straight align
At the almighty's feet he does rest
He is the angel of death

As I sleep they stand guard patiently
Always close by, always stood silently
Waiting for my soul to part and divide
Only then will they be satisfied

Your poems (like mine) vary in quality, but when they are good, they're very good. You delineate lyrically the eternal battle each of us has between our angel and our beast (the very word I used in a poem about this conflict). A little tightening and maybe some use of the mundane street signs of writing, commas and periods, would give it even greater power.

I don't like writing on just one topic, I like to try many. Easy to write about the conflict that goes on in my mind and put it into words. Thanks for the constructive criticism, appreciate it. Not really one for commas and periods, but thanks for the advice.

Lykos... I really enjoy your writing... not just because you pen, so beautifully. You just have this way of making the readers mind turn and think. I love people who can pick at my brain and get me to think thought provoking things. My favorite is to think of things no one really has many answers to. I hope we become good friends. Maybe we can pick each others brains and inspire some things. xo FLB

Thank you FLB means a lot. I try my hardest to make my poems stand out and try to make them different from other poems. Yeah anytime, get the imaginations going.
