[hometext] => This is an old one I dug up from an old notebook. Not unlike my others but I believe this is one of my firsts. It needs major editing in my opinion but I'll save that for later.
[bodytext] => A cut to the throat frees the soul And as the warm life that once dwelled within seeps rapidly from its vessel The cold grip of death is somehow slighted. The beating heart Which once was the ever standing symbol of life Now only hastens your demise as it pushes the river of life out of your wound creating a red ocean That spreads before it settles calmy on the floor beneath. What thoughts could pass through your suffocating mind? "Have I lived a good life?"... "Why me?"... or will you fall at ease "I had love"... "My children are taken care of"... And eyes, Windows to your soul How will they be forever clouded? Will they become muddy pools Or roll back in your head Only to accentuate the agony of murder? Will you lay loose? Eyes wide open as if awestruck at the very sight of God Or overwhelmed by the horrific glare of Satan. Perhaps your eyes will close Marking the beginnings of eternal rest And going out like a glorified hollywood cowboy. You are now but a memory To live only in this secular world as a photograph And a daughters preschool drawing on a refrigerator door As time has been cut short Time is no longer a master to you. As you no longer pose a burden on the world The world poses no burden to you While your pale body lay in shadows forever A cut to the throat has freed your soul [comments] => 0 [counter] => 140 [topic] => 13 [informant] => DomRy [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. ©
