Array ( [sid] => 84071 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Omerta Function [time] => 2005-02-12 01:29:31 [hometext] => I heard this band that had an interesting way of mixing extreme tempos and I wanted to see if I could even attempt to emulate it in words. Not as extreme as I had in mind, but it's a start. [bodytext] => Distance of a pillar
Flexing forged laurels
Bridges that span
Close quarter quarrels

Echoes of a past
Counting split spoils
Ensnared in an arm
That comforts and coils

Fresh blood spilled
And pockets were filled
A moment later
Conscience was billed

And somewhere
Somebody cried

Death flashed a smile
Twin hearty laugh
An agent acted
On his black behalf

And somewhere
Somebody died

While the night grew thick
and learned a new trick
Leaving all present
With some inky sick

And Fate met Silence
In a vacuum of Trust
And everything crumbled
To memories of dust [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Xnoybis [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

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. ©
