- - - THE TRAVELER - - -
He walks the path set before him
Shadowed by misery
Rocky and cold with eyes in the mist
The ghost flit between the trees
Forsaken by prophecy
Walk to Purgatory, lonely and cold
Against the storm
The traveler is me
Lightning flashes in his eyes
The cold rain pours down his face
Walk this path broken and haggard
Rewritten as tragedy
Journeys across oceans of bitter tears
Remember her salty kiss
And gut wrenched agony
It tastes just like the endless sea of doom
Against all odds
This traveler is me
A maelstrom within his mind
Memories that are long dead
I am not afraid
Of the dead
That await me
At the door
Walk the path of living godkings
Recorded on tapestries
Traitors skins sewn together in pride
Live or die beneath my fist
Witnessing blasphemy
They sacrifice their first born unto me
Against all hope
The traveler is me
Enter his blood drenched chambers
And see the misery there
I am not afraid
Of the dead
That await me
At the door
I am not afraid
Of the dead
Because I
Will never die
Fever dreams never seem
To sanctify the screams
The years go by and by
On war torn shores
Reserved just for me
Eons pass like dying stars
Enthralled to misery
This galactic debris floating away
Planets collide with pure force
Behold eyes of tragedy
In those light years away, I still remain
Watching all
This traveler is me
Welcome to the cold of black space
Where no one will hear you scream
I am not afraid
Of the dead
That await me
At the door
I am not afraid
Of the dead
Because I
Will never die

Thank you, dearest Crim. I'm thinking of making this a continuing story, if the mood strikes.

Most richly lain, scene by scene, SirHades..
the weary yet immortal traveler is intriguing, and your layering detail invites a second read..
[o'course I did!]
"Walk the path of living godkings
Recorded on tapestries
Traitors skins sewn together in pride <~~dark n lovely
Live or die beneath my fist
Witnessing blasphemy
They sacrifice their first born unto me
Against all hope
The traveler is me"
~you bang this one sweetly with vivid imagery-- tapestry and skin most poignant..
This is left to interpret so many ways and wonder, 'wtf next?'.. *enthralled by the tragically provoking mysteries..
[pls *do] write on, with this "Forsaken by prophecy" traveler, says me-- y'know.. if that mood strikes ;) enjoyed!
shiny eve to you,

Entertaining without being boring. I like how you are able to maintain your focus and area of interest(s) without sounding like a broken record. I am going to take my time reading your poems, and enjoy them thoroughly.
