Flame-less nightmare

Leave it for you to describe

Anathema, yes I now believe its a curse
For whenever words plead,I murder the verses

No more hiding, tonight I confess
I've lost the will,I became heartless

Perhaps few more drops of ink and another bottle of whine
Rather an aching mind that hungers to shine

Few more sighs to smoke with corpses of night 
Another dance to the symphony of black and white

Around the fire of who I am, who I never aimed to be
Burning the innocence of poems that now pay the fee

Surrendering to the power of the rhyming flames
That dominates my heart and my soul it tames 

Ashes of my world, liberate among the air
Unleashing colors, a new kingdom they declare 

Rage, they silence, for my duty I've served well
No longer I exist in this picture, my soul is theirs to kill

Judgment day, I've waited centuries for your justice 
In the gaol of my mission, counting down every Augustus

Yet I ponder sympathy through this jury
Fear paralyzes me and I begin to worry

Dear lord, many lives I've vanquished to please my own
This sick desire seems to be all I've ever known

It is time for me to taste the bitter of my poison 
For I am nothing but clay, not a demon that needs exorcism

So mercy don't have upon my soul 
Strangle me so I can have a reason to stand tall

Wow, this knocked me over. It's dark and punches you right in the face. Like a wake up call to justice.

'Ashes of my world, liberate among the air
Unleashing colors, a new kingdom they declare'

Like all of it, but that's my favorite, Nice read.

I can't believe I haven't read this!! I hate being busy for missing such a great poem, masterpiece!! At this very moment I can relate to it easily, it even feels like something I would write but you managed to put it in much better words, I'm really proud of you my dear. you keep it up, keep your head up.

:))) I'm not that fast, as many others on here, but you will have me by :D

[Yasmin]

lol
Me neither
trying to catch on
but I promise of reading not commenting

Always follow the heart smiles sweet soul! they are the compass x

[Yasmin]

loool
Seems to me that you are an expert ?

I guess, reviewing a write need the first rule to read, and indeed not to comment.... first impressions are best, then all becomes made up you know what i mean? :-)

[Yasmin]

I do
But reviews are a certain prove a read

Maybe I said it wrong, what I mean is that first impressions on a write are always the most heartfelt, what lots of people do, I noticed is reform the first thoughts... and then for me it becomes, not as pure as it was felt or so I feel that.

[Yasmin]

Well
I see your point but I find it better to reform a first thought by second and third reading perhaps to shape the first thought and clear it more
I don't know that's mainly me

But that is true too, I just love first thoughts, I guess... when I was school, I never forget I was asked by a teacher: " what is your first impression" and on that point I walked for many years.... secondly it is good like I love in writing my poetry to edit, as you have that with thoughts, I always love to give my first impression on things, and yes, later i can shape it to the diamont I like... that is somehow so interesting, it's not mainly you, I guess many on here are searching (like me too) for the right way... it's human and normal... I am not quitting learning until I'm in the coffin I'm always saying, standing open for all new insights.... xx

[Yasmin]

lol
And your way of living is right so :)
