Everfall

I'm tattooed and scarred

My bruised and battered heart

Falling into the hungry abyss

Doing nothing to feed its envious greed

My skin marred by ink and blade

My form unpleasing to all

But mine eyes

We fell, just to stand again

My mutilated body, born many hardships

And still goes on

When will this damaged shell

Refuse to rise again

We all fall,

Some more beautifully than others

Some saved at the last possible precarious instant

But of us, we're ever trembling

Down the trecherous slope of life

Waiting, spilling into death's hungry maw

Oh they claimed me

Everfall

I'm proud of my tattoos and my scars. Men who have no wounds and no tattoos worry me. How do you live a life always in the safe lane? Men and woman who have tattoos and scars show signs of a good life. I like this poem. Ending is the road for the all of us. Death will come sooner or later. A outstanding poem.

Great imagery. Amazing poem.

[Dutch Jr.]

Nice, lucid, yet abstract imagery. Nice poem.

[Senseless whatever]

Powerful and emotionally charged. Fantastic write.

[Liza]

this poem to me represents the damaging of the spirit that reflects in our emotions and physical life - the words chosen bring the emotion to life - a very powerful write.

Dark, but very strong. Absolutely amazing, somehow very inspiring. I agree with Candy Buddah, the lines "We all fall/Some more beautifully than others/Some saved at the last possible precarious instant" are absolutely amazing.

Dark and beautiful. Life brings all sorts of scars, some we can see, some we can't. I love the imagery of darkness and pain you use, you make it so beautiful at the same time. Reading it your words enabled me to get a visual, probably not what you were seeing as you wrote, but I like the image it gave me a lot. Wish I could paint it.
