Fires~Light

Moses held the thunder in one hand and parted the sea

yet he has nothing on the Siren of the Seventh Seal

fists of fire parted the skies and impaled her through 

her spine, splitting vertebrae as the fist

engulfed her heart

It was the hand of God and his fury 

blasting her soul in recapture

And still she mocked him 

Black eyes stared into the almighty’s grace

and yet not one would concede

Not one would relinquish the power

The hand, the hold

The black on white 

Pulsating fire burned the meaty flesh

leaving behind a wicked stench

rotting the inhale of many days

the darkest of nights…

A fight between good and evil

Not the first day, nor the last 

Words were cast in glories blaze and hells fire

While angels were born from the purest light 

Yet the dark night of the soul

Lured in the innocents 

A universal tug of war

Bipolar flares casting us all into the 

Fear of it all 

A fight for all to see, all to live and breathe

A struggle between good and evil in our own selves

An understanding of light and spirit

Forgiveness…

A passion for the life we have and a will stronger

Then the Sirens luring ways

Since the first day we have feared the last day

We have been witness to the battle

The fire, the reign…

Who wins?  Only you know~

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoyed the story in the poem. I like the comparison of Mose to the Siren. I wanted to read and know more. Myth and tale is my favorite.Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I see this poem as a statement on how society is quick to judge and persecute those that don't fit the mold they create… I say burn me at the stake cause I never want to fit in to their uptight ways.

Thank you:) I was wondering how it would be understood.. I think we've all burned at the stake at one time or another..xo
