[hometext] => The trials of love...In the end, is it all for naught?
[bodytext] => Lovers walk on a sunset beach Holding hands, an unbreakable bond Sharing a kiss as horizon engulfs the light A brief moment where troubles are gone Whirls of dust swirl and gather As they struggle to escape the flowing sands In a vaccum they are pulled under Feeling powerless, it's out of their hands Still choking he returns to his feet Rubbing the burning quicksand from his eyes Panicked, his heart skips a beat looking for his love Breathes a sigh when he sees where she lies Together again they set forth In a sprawling and sinuous maze Stalactites hang in this hewn rock tomb Feeling endless and leaving them in a daze A small trickle of water flows Almost a beacon in the darkness shining Bringing them to an expansive cavern With a tiny light as a silver lining Embracing in a moment of calmness are the two Interrupted by a violent rumble in the distance The tiny water flow swells into raging Gasping and fighting the flash flood they are swept away like ants Washed in the rapid current Their hands clasped together as before As their oxygen begins to expire They are violently hurled as rags upon the shore Narrowly escaping a watery demise With shaking legs they support one another to stand As weary heads are slowly raised up A twilight forest begins to expand With great effort passing through the dim golden light Withered leaves are crushed beneath their feet Limbs twisting and obstructing their path Crawling on bloody knees, ready to accept defeat With his last ounce of strength he carries his love Her will beginning to steadily fade When suddenly the path opens wide And at last they come to rest in a breathtaking glade Flat on their backs and nearly paralyzed Just enough energy to turn their heads and smile A loving gaze into eachother's eyes Knowing they can pass any trial As his eyes began to draw closed His ear picked up the sound of a twig breaking Like bolts of lightning vines screamed through the foliage Constricting his wrists, dragging him shaking He screamed and watched helplessly As the earth broke around her exhausted frame More writhing vines entangled her legs Locked in position, drained and defenseless all the same From beneath the forest canopy A howl approaches and becomes many A dozen sets of piercing yellow eyes The starving pack that feasts on all and any Surrounding, they converge on his true love Too enervated to let loose another scream Overcome with a sense of total disbelief His eyes shut, his head lowers, wishing to awaken from this dream [comments] => 2 [counter] => 332 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Vitreous_Soul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
