Demons

Demons

A Poem by Leran Vakem

The demons are
wakening up
Their chains broken
by time

Their vengeance hot
and cold
Fire in their eyes
teeth of ice

So many at
one time
To many to
count correctly

Now I need
to decide
To flee or
FIGHT

The sword rusted
by dust
Now it must
turn ruby

The darkness may
swallow me
For the light
has cast me
OUT

Well structured and the poem is brief to the point.

I must say that I am left in deep thought after reading your poem. What I could honestly interpret and derived from this is your inner darkness stirring within you, trying to break free. Now, it leaves one person in dread to even think about escaping from it.

Overall, your writing is quite unique. Very thought-provoking. There's nothing I can really say about it, since poem is an expression of one's thoughts and feelings. Great poem! :)

So..I assume this poem is about you trynna fight with you inner demons .. I loved some parts of this poem like where you stressed on the word "FIGHT" and how you described their appearance in the second stanza ! :)
It's a good read and i'm looking forward to read more of your works!

And can i just suggest something real quick..
It'll sound better if you use "The demons are now awakened" instead of "The demons are wakening up".?
And it's just a suggestion.. (You can take or leave it ) :)

Thanks for sharing ! :)
