Celtic Minds of Chromas

A collaboration between my self and Chris Smith - enjoy!

Casted forth through feeling never to find,

Open your eyes to one such as his master,

Think quick as you know his wit is faster,

Frozen thoughts never moving in blood,

Cast away in the ignorance of plain flood,

Relax thy spirit and broaden your eye,

Take kindly for children not to die.

The words come flowing outside

Where the mind tries to confide

Two styles different but connected

Find that purpose that is collected

Friends that share words to all

Friends that are answering the call

This is something that is now there

A unison of minds joining to share.

Solid highs break free from the sky,

A winged creature sets forth to fly,

So bitter our enemy's in trench's old,

The new beginning does start so bold,

Words of fresh feeling taste our lip,

Taking fast as to reach there tip.

The sword can never stop the pen

Souls of the bravest of men

They throw at us their strongest stone

But we will never stand here alone

Where ever we are, on distant shore

They win a battle but never the war.

"They win a battle but never the war." Beautifuly penned, a masterful piece. This is where poetry sepperates amatures from pros. You my friend, find yourself a Pro.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Well my darling, thank you!

"The sword can never stop the pen
Souls of the bravest of men
They throw at us their strongest stone
But we will never stand here alone
Where ever we are, on distant shore
They win a battle but never the war"

[WatashLegend]

strong spirited and marvelous write that eats,breathes and sweats strength I enjoyed this piece

[Robert Ross]

War moves us, tears us down, and starts anew. We are the fire that lays the foundation for something new to grow. A violent state glimmering in the chrome.

i have to agree with all the other reviews. the last stanza is powerful and wonderfully paced. this is an excellent collaboration!

[M.Babu]

The incompleteness in the last stanza accentuated the fleeting feeling that comes with endings. The sword can never stop the pen: My favorite line...and truth flows from this statement. Words are eternal, brute force is a temporary state...there is so much wisdom to be drawn from this piece...You spin some good yarn my friend!

Nicely done!

I really enjoyed and savored this piece of writing. War and hate is a terribly ugly involvement this world is so fond of. And, I agree with everything you're stating here.
" Where ever we are, on distant shore
They win a battle but never the war."

Very true and honest. There will always be a battle won, but never a war. An amazingly thought out. A very introspective and retrospective piece of writing. Brilliant work.
