The indifferent, flesh-raping knife,
The friendly smile, the helping hand,
The burning hell, the promised land
I am the present, I am the past,
I am the first and I am the last
I am the future bleak as death,
I am your loved one's dying breath
I am the one who's always there.
I am the one who'll always care,
I am the nightmare, drenched in blood,
I am the child bereft of food,
I am the love you dream in dreams,
I am the pain you hear in screams,
I am your friend, your vilest foe,
The secret no-one else must know,
I am the rose without a thorn,
I am the one who died unborn,
I am salvation's mighty yell,
I am the small, sad voice from Hell,

I am deceitful, I am true,
I am a poem - I am you [comments] => 5 [counter] => 514 [topic] => 46 [informant] => limpingunicorn [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 23 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => didactic )

The burning hell, the promised land

I am the future bleak as death,
I am your loved one's dying breath
I am the one who's always there.

I am salvation's mighty yell,
I am the small, sad voice from Hell,

I am deceitful, I am true,
I am a poem - I am you

I always have enjoyed your poetry. A lot. You choose subject matter that's off the beaten path, yet you craft it into works of art like this. This would make a good slogan or banner for the site, honestly.

Very well done. Glad I got to read this one.
