How does one's heart beat
With a stolen breath
A twisted soul
Fate at the end of the sword
Whispers of the night
Calling to battle
Facing the storm
Blood splashing
Attacking everything
Heart beat stops
With a stolen breath
A twisted soul
Fate at the end of the sword
Reflecting
The eyes that cry
Pain hardening
Turning to stone
Shadow holding the sword
As fate draws near
Lifeless
At the touch of the sword
Twisted soul
What do we have
Longing for that day
Marriage, family
Future
Touching my cheek
It's swept away
Shadow
Reflecting
Past as present
Present as future
Future as past
A circle
Bound by stone
Like the ring on your hand
Weighing you down
Longing for better
But only knowing the past
With a stolen breath
A twisted soul
Fate at the end of the sword
Whispers of the night
Calling to battle
Facing the storm
Blood splashing
Attacking everything
Heart beat stops
With a stolen breath
A twisted soul
Fate at the end of the sword
Reflecting
The eyes that cry
Pain hardening
Turning to stone
Shadow holding the sword
As fate draws near
Lifeless
At the touch of the sword
Twisted soul
What do we have
Longing for that day
Marriage, family
Future
Touching my cheek
It's swept away
Shadow
Reflecting
Past as present
Present as future
Future as past
A circle
Bound by stone
Like the ring on your hand
Weighing you down
Longing for better
But only knowing the past

There are a few spelling errors, but other than that, this piece is really, really good! I'm glad it caught my eye! :]

RedBanshee, luv ~ :-*
This poem is poignant and heart-wrenching filled with sadness and echoes of despair.
It is powerfully wrought.
A couple of things:
How does ones heart beat - ones to one's
Touching my check - should check be cheek?
Its swept away - Its to It's
Aside from those minor adjustments, this is truly magnificent, luv. Your ability to evoke emotion is deep and pervasive. You have a strong poetic voice. :-*
