Mayhem

durr.

The lights are flickering,

the buildings collapse,

people are killing,

and dying perhaps.

 

I walk in silence,

dread is my fear,

openings are lost,

and pain will sear.

 

Death is the escape,

hope is decreased,

love is not real,

and could have been ceased.

 

Burning inside,

mayhem is ground,

dying is now,

without a sound.

 

War is continous,

love will not teach,

loved ones are lost,

and nothing to reach.

 

Hope for the best,

when nothing is found,

hearts are now broken,

shoved to the ground.

 

Sirens are called,

mayhem is here,

I love with my heart,

and you most my dear.

 

I hate what is present,

I hate this damn war,

people who started,

are names to call w***e.

 

If I die now,

walking through death,

don't you stop running,

or holding your breath.

 

Put me to rest,

and say your goodbye,

don't you wish pain,

or end it and die.

Yeah, this is intensive. It's very consistent in rhythm and flow, and I can discern meaning and feeling from it.

My biggest quirk is that you forced your rhyme rather hard...but nonetheless, it's a good poem.

[Jessica :D]

That was very powerful. I also read your poem Smoke, and I have to say, your writing is very bold, and in a very good way. Don't stop.

:D

wow, very intense and wonderfully written!! it reminds me of my poem "No More" but i think yours is a little more straight forward than mine. very well done, i love the imagery and the rhyming!! :)
