Black Flames
"Untitled"
I feel them creeping their life a parody of life
I feel them sweeping consuming my life
I feel them not.
My dark flames felt inside, rising in flood
My pitch flames, knelt I beside the altar of thier glory
My soul burning hate-hot.
You left me my love, HATE YOU! Whisper the flames,
You believed, lie the White gobules do. Whispered I.
You, I love, my beloved enternal. Whispered I not.
The last Time when I should, I could not.
The final rhyme of that which you loved in me Went unspoken.
The ending crime is in this I can not face my lot.
Can you forgive my failing of you, my hearts blood? Whispered I.
Can you forgive me my answer of no when yes was all it took. Whisperd I.
Can you forgive, no never whispered the flame, bear it, this is your lot.
I, with times burden heavy indeed, cry to my love this is my new creed.
I shout against the flames.
My Penance in place of that I caused lost Shall I shield those in need,
I shout against the flames
You shall be proud of me and in hope eternal, I ask nay beg only this-
The flames fight Back.
The time I have seflishly spent to return be accounted in list,
The Flames Fight Back.
Can you try and love me though I failed you in this.
"Michael V. Jeter --- For Joshua my love"
Ok everyone this was the poem that was actually meant for public viewing (though I never intended to put this here but as the dirty laundry has already been aired I figured trying to make it go away now is like putting water on an already burnt barn. I wrote this about a year after the fact and I appreciate any consturctive criticisim that may come of this. Thankyou.
