Sweet Seraphim

Sweet Seraphim

A Poem by Matt Shutler

The Seraph falls, and her purity dies.
The heavens are tainted in her crimson lust, and the planets are deprived of her brilliant light. The madness within corrupts the once pillar of poise, and the monument to peace is shattered to the point of undetectibility.
Through the chaos and pandemonium the Brink of Insanity cradles her as her wings are torn asunder.

Is it psychotic nature or sadistic pleasure bringing this sardonic hero to her knees?

She falls from grace, cutting through the darkness; suffocating the unquenchable fire.
Her pain amplified by the Black Flame burning into her soul; tearing into her very core.
She burns into nothingness, and as her very spark is extinguished; she passes.

Her tale is one written in blood and told of deceit.
Her splendor and radiance eclipsed only by her one fatal mistake.

She fell in love.

wow! hwo do you write so well? you have a great tallent and you use it well. this is beautifully tragic. my favorite part is:

"Her tale is one written in blood and told of deceit.
Her splendor and radiance eclipsed only by her one fatal mistake.

She fell in love."

i couldnt describe the feeling of falling in love and then getting torn to pieces in a better way nor do i think anyone else could. it is absolutely perfect.

Oh wow, this piece is beautifully depressing. Thank you for entering my contest, by the way. Such a gorgeous depiction of an angel fallen from grace, innocence lost and reality gained. I loved the twisting descriptions used throught, nice job. Thank you for sharing, keep up the good work!

Perfect. I absolutely love this piece. I was drawn in immediately, through the picture then your words. I followed each one, never imagining they would take me to the delicious ending you've written.
Beautiful.
