Sword within

Cut from the sword within

above her body pale and thin

an accident while having fun

a stray bullet from the gun

his lower lip quake with trubble

her flacid body lay in rubble

now relizing what he's done

he take the trigger on the gun

the gun raise to his head

the trigger pulled and as I said

he was cut from the sword within

all for her, pale and thin

really liked it. I thought it was going to be something typical but you really picked an awesome topic. Great imagery, rhyming was great and you just pulled it off nicely. Kick-ass job so keep it up!

PS- and I'm the first person not to use morbid in my comments. What do you think of that ^_^

I have read many of your poems and you have a wonderful technique. I love the way you rhyme with fluid beauty. Some of your poems are a bit morbid and I absolutely love it! Indeed your right, accidents will happen. I love your last line on this poem "all for her, pale and thin" I don't know exactly why, it just caught my attention. I think I've become a strong fan of yours. I hope to read more.. Dusk~

I think this is a bit morbid, but very, very nice. I like your rhyming, your phrases flow, as most of mine are choppy and don't really go together. I think you definetly have a talent for this. ^_^
