- - - GRAVESTONES BENEATH HEAVEN - - -
What God denies, the devil supplies
Easing hearts sick of lament
I choose not to defy
My Faustian reasons til I'm spent
Decaying in different seasons
What King of words
And tears I've spurned
Who's books I have surely burned
With eager turning of pages
No princess brides of withered mages
Can release me from my plight
At the height gravestones
The ravens atone
For a perch right below Heaven
But I murder the crows
In chasm undertows
I must be the last one in line
To feast on the carcass
A feeling I cannot suppress
I will claim what is rightfully mine

What a fantastic write, HadesR. I was thinking gravestone too, although not as dark as yours. I envy your talent.:)

You seriously need to get a book together of your work--your poem titles are always what draws me to read the rest; very eye catching and interest-catching.

Thanks but I tried that route before. Needless to say, I need to learn to advertise and get a bigger crowd

Man, great write my friend... I tell ya, honestly, many times I have cursed and sworn off God, and Satan, at times, hated both, an I grabbed my own steering wheel in my own life, and it was better, and it was worse... Your character reminds me of that power, young power, but with an elders wisdom... Very well done man, rage against the natural laws holdin down, with no reason ever given... Take good care brother: wolf
