Dare!

How one dares one to write!

Does death come to all, for all?

Do we want it or even invite it,

Do troubles seek forgiveness within us?

Does it kill ever slowly bit by bit?

 

A science can cure most we say,

A man in white will heal a cut,

A woman with pity wills sooth your soul,

A reason will come forth, through rut.

 

Repeat in angst for a priest in stone,

Rouse as you might for truth will out,

Rate a major God in all thy fright,

Range kept in yet hidden with pout.

 

Eager minds play tricks with lies,

Even solace comes to those who wait,

Evil spirits taunt towards us all,

Ever ready are all us humans to take the bait.

Just a mere thought running through my mind my darlings!

Easy to dance with the Devil. Hard to find goodness in the world. A enjoyable ride in the poem. I met the Devil once. That is a old poem hidden away.
"Eager minds play tricks with lies,
Even solace comes to those who wait,"
Hard to know the truth from a lie today. Who are the good guys? Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A man who has lost his walking stick still remembers what it means to walk, run and even dance. But you have to figure that he was getting somewhere with the stick. Nice write Thomas.

Thomas,

Reading your work for the first time ....
Found the Title DARE quite bewitching and absolutely liked the idea of poem pattern :) - I'm not a pure literature person so aint sure about the name of that style of writing ...for me it doesn't matter cos I liked the work and most importantly mentally relate to the poem ...

Just a mere thought did this marvel .... must say a good write up ....

These lines enticed me alot : "Repeat in angst for a priest in stone,

Rouse as you might for truth will out,

Rate a major God in all thy fright,

Range kept in yet hidden with pout. "

Good Work ..

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I see a lot of Poe style influence in your words... and I love E.A. Poe so this was very cool.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you very much, he is one of the all time greats

The fragility and gullability of the human being spelt out in another deep dark verse!
A woman with pity wills sooth your soul did the wills need the 's'

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you John, and no it didn't I must change that, thanks! x

[Ufi Auttorri ~ Amy C. T..]

There is foreplay and there is this:

"Evil spirits taunt towards us all,

Ever ready are all us humans to take the bait."

A clear a stroke as ever cut...

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Well when you put it like that! x
