They live again

Falstaff · May 19, 2007, 04:34 PM

whisper the names of the brave
in the mist and forests they are lost
beneath the fields within ancient graves
far from the rain and snow and frost

to rise again with shadows of the night
ghosts of the fallen live again
trapped between the eternal darkness and light
what once had ended now begins.

Souls of the damned suffer a thousand deaths
consumed and torn by immortal pain
Borne away on the night winds in quiet breaths
in heart of the night they live again.

Nebraska is pretty spooky...lots of indian legends there...
remember the great white buffalo?

GutterPunk · May 20, 2007, 12:38 PM

Yes the buffalo follows me everywhere ever since I built a parking lot over an old indian burial site.

I have to say I like your 'darker side' better - that 'touchy feel-ee' stuff may work on the babes - and thats great... but its not my taste.

(Having a gal recite poetry to me does nothing for me - why? - eh - I wrote a poem once - and I used it 100 times - I can assume the opposite to be possible - so I look for 'actions' more than words when determining if someone is 'right ' for me or not... I digress - back OT sorry)

But beyond 'subject matter' - I also prefer poetry that has a 'rhythm' to the 'rhymes' - think 'song lyrics with no music'. This one also fits better into that category compared to some of your others that I felt were interesting too, but seemed to be missing 'something'.

Then again - Im no 'Poem-Meister' either.... so... wtf do I know??

I understand, it took me years to understand Haiku, to visualize, but that doesn't mean I really like Haiku that much, yes rhythm is important

I do agree the darker side is refreshing.
