Bleak, Wrath, and Farewell

Bleak

Thirst for joy and hunger for peace

The world gives you nothing; everything his.

Plead for happiness and cry for hope

They give you nothing but a piece of rope.

They say look up and open your eyes

Try not to drown in the pool of lies

Try not to succumb in the realm of deceit

Where everything lies in the bed of conceit

If I told you that you have to do this alone

Will you fight the madness on your own?

Or will you wallow in your fears and sorrow?

Will you extinguish the light for tomorrow?

Will you allow your cornerstone to crumble?

Will you relinquish the giants of destruction?

Will you brandish your sword and lift your shield?

Or will you kneel down and say you’ll yield?

Nothing will stop you, pursue your path

Regret nothing, face the aftermath

Value what is right and what is real

Desire will complicate the things you feel

If you have God, choose His side

He can see you, you cannot hide

If you do not, it is time to decide

Settle or hesitate; His arms open wide

I made this in the wee hours of the morning. I don't know what's the inspiration or the reason for this urge to write a poem... it just came to me. Another one of the poems that begged to be written, this was. I do not understand myself nor do I try, so I let the words flow out of my head and into my hands and they type. Anyway, here are the other poems...

Wrath

Summon the soldier of hearts

Brace the archers, release the darts

Bathe in the shower of asphyxiation

A torrent of flowery admiration

Chiselled promises carved in stones

Plunged in a fissure with broken bones

Pupils dilate with searing hate

Unending curses of the irate

Whisk the undiluted potion of pain

Pour it to the brim of absolute strain

Mix it with uncouth and the uncanny

Billow the Ares of gory history

Astounding dementia swallowed whole

Eyes of the weary, black as coal

Consumed by nothing but the dusk of dawn

Devoured irrevocably by the unknown

Farewell

Farewell my friend, I bid you goodbye

Farewell my friend, part ways and sigh

Farewell to darkness and abomination

Farewell to madness and miscommunication

Goodbye to anomaly and self-destruction

Goodbye to oppression and persecution

Goodbye to the hooligans and scavengers of gloom

Goodbye to you, my friend, goodbye to doom

Salutations to the governors of light

Salutations to the guardians of right

Salutations to the keeper of sanity

Salutations, warden of inner beauty
