The Scythe

Contributed by laststarontheleft on Tuesday, 17th November 2009 @ 06:58:00 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



What dark and wicked soul is this
To hold me down so tightly
Choking me with arid breath
And beatless heart
It's eyes so black and empty
Cackling at my distress
Shere weight bears down upon my chest
Beneath, the ground becomes me
Devours me to dust
Never to return again, I am nothing
The cold edge of the scythe's blade
Spared no single grain
All gone, no trace

Some great imagery, especially:

'Shere weight bears down upon my chest
Beneath, the ground becomes me
Devours me to dust'

I thought 'Devours me to dust' was an excellent turn of phrase.

I've seen this beast more than
I can bare,this soulsless abyss
In a surge so violent it comes
Each time stealing a part of you
attempting to break you
This passage is morosly vivid
almost like looking death in it's eyes
Honorable experience
