PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In the beginning, the Heavens and the Earth

Came to be as with the stars and He marveled at their worth

All creation came to life as the dawn of time was birthed

But even the Creator failed to see the snake beneath the dirt...

And when He made His throne, I saw but a reich

Of faith and rules, gilded laws, and a fine line of what is right

Fantasies consumed, and set I was on my losing plight

And when He made that blinding light I craved and ached for the solemn night

So I set out, to make my own, behind the back of God

And lo behold, a whole new world, thrived behind the fraud

The blissful waters of lust and sin, survived despite the odds

All this and so much more tempted me to revel in this forbidden sod

But my hidden delights were not unseen by His defiling eyes

The fool was I, the hidden lies, exiled through His design

His trap was set, I took the bait, followed like loyal swine

Led to slaughter, I dared to falter, claiming this knowledge as mine

So when confronted, I saw the trick, to Him I raised my voice

Should not I be granted, as with these mortals, to freely make my choice

Faced with exile, I took the stand, I had to make some noise

I wasn't alone, and with an army in tow, I raised my sword rejoiced

So with a heavy heart, I declared my war to covet that tainted thone

To rule it all with absolute and these visions hate had shown

But my defeat was set, my soldiers fell, if only I had known

My Hell was was made, cast out was I, a third of stars forever gone...

...So now I awake, in darkness that binds

To taste of His wrath, suffered through time

Surrounded by fallen, abhorrent minds

With the passage of time to calmly unwind

And gather my stones against the fruits of His kind

The battle is lost, but the war will be mine

A new prize in sight, in His image divine

The blood of Man shall be spilt like red wine

So onward I set, the serpent took form

To temp Eden's filth, and create my reform

Ignorance thrived in this haphazard norm

Completely unaware of this upcoming storm

So I chose my words and spoke sublime

The apple of knowledge so tasteful to thine

One bite and truth will overcome the blind

One bite and Mankind will forever be mine

Now exiled from Eden, these creatures knew shame

Lost in a cold world, far losing his game

Nerve endings alive, taught pleasures and pain

No solace be given by His holy name

So in a new form I sought their reprieve

Their paradise taken by celestail thieves

Alone and cast out, no comfort be seen

Lent by their Lord, who continues to grieve

So I made my approach to exploit their duress

Starved and broken in fragile excess

And offered my flames to the shivering darkness

To replace a God who's light I surpressed

To raise my name from it's fallen abyss

In exchange I will allievate the surmounting stress

But failed the ambition with my serpent hiss

Their souls were still God's as I screamed in protest...

...So through the aeons, many battles I raged

To sway Mankind before stricken with age

And to this day still I seek to pursuade

Those who aren't blinded to God's charade

And though my lust for power was a loser's parade

I sought and I fought, though lost in blunt aide

Nothing returned with all the knowledge I gave

To this flawed race who found peace through my blade

And I know all to soon the final days will pass

And I'll lay my bones with a darkness that last

Through eternity, save for those of His cast

Those risen to glory in a Heaven held fast

And the Earth without void, barren again

Not a soul to be saved, nor fallen with sin

And with somber eyes... as I take all this in

I realized the lie... 

I was forbidden to win
