Dark Hearts

Dark hearts are cageless in their frail ages  
and a slack pardon bruised the slaves wages.
Savage teeth tear deep as sleep in stifled air
and not a care drop to quench a thirsting dispair.

Harmonious discord made short by swift end
alone he must search for the sword to defend .
Then venimous measures may part with thier head
so envious treasures lay safe from the dead.

the medeival scott pilgram in poetic form!

 

funny how we have baggage and sometimes it messes things up and sometimes it doesn't, but when we carry it with us the person we are with often feels they must take up sword and fight our demons...

Medieval

history,influence, and history..etc is raw...and is pretty frequently on my mind....When i wrote this poem...I had felt War waged upon.....and went thru many an unpleasant episode...in order to preserve myself, I had to fight. and Fight i did, but never in vain. Even in defeat, or bloody peril, you can sustain pride dignity and respect.

I appraoche emotionas like math, positive and negative etc, for me pride is one of the negative emotions, but respect is something I totally dig ;)

Short, yet poignant and dull

Short, yet poignant and full of descriptive imagery.

We all need a hero to save us from the flesh gnashing monsters of this thing we call...life.

Nice work, William. :)
