Array ( [sid] => 38527 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Failed Combat [time] => 2004-03-13 21:49:05 [hometext] => It could fit in war and fantasy poetry as well. No clue as to where it came from, but I'm proud of it. ::warning:: Graphic violence. [bodytext] => I twist
You missed
My blade meets your chest
To avenge what you molest

You scream
I beam
You fall upon your knees
Blood-soaked hair moves in the breeze

I gloat
I ready for your throat
You reach up, jab it in
With your rust-covered bodkin

I gasp
You rasp,
"You thought you'd win this time,
But the victory is mine."

You smirk
The visitors that lurk
Step out from shadowed hollows
You don't have time to swallow

They snort
Then exhort
Their leader disagrees
And orders them to flee

I wheeze
My trustees
Have left me here to die
How dare that they defy?

I choke
The blood my tongue invoke
It spews forward from my mouth
And trickles toward the south

No movement
An improvement
I failed my simple task
And now I face the cask

No breath
Embrace death
Choke on my own blood
Black swallows me in flood [comments] => 1 [counter] => 229 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Saitou-sama [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
