Enmity

definitions in a seperate writing

I am the cause of all your fears
The sick secrets that run through your ears
I am the grayness after a storm clears
I destroy all that you hold dear

My darkness overpowers day
I instigate and cause the fray
I am the one who makes you pray
I am the casket in which loved ones lay

I create those who are forsworn,
My destruction will sojourn
People plead and they warn
In the end all they do is mourn

I am the frown on the lamentable faces
The dissemblers who are all disgraces
The one who destroys all places
The good memory that the mind erases

The innocent one, they amerce
The Christian, that Satan will curse
The pensive man, riding away in a hearse
The family in such penury, it just gets worse

The naughty, unwieldy girl
The unchallenged, sick churl
The one who makes your stomach curl
The Destroyer of the world

The inexorable haze
The long, tortuous days
Trapped in a horrific maze,
The concealed lady, wedding is a blaze

I am the ones lost at sea
Lovers turned enemy
The one you will never be
I am the Enmity

Author's Note

the bold words are all Shakespearian, from Shakespeares play 'Romeo and Juliet'

Oh my god. That (please excuse my french) raped my thought process!! (Good thing) What I mean is that I got so caught up in it that I could imagine everything you were and everything you were naming off.
"My darkness overpowers day
I instigate and cause the fray
I am the one who makes you pray
I am the casket in which loved ones lay" Amazing stanza. I love it. In other stanzas you were in a way happy and in others (like the one I pulled out) are so different. Great write.

The poem is amazing. I had to read a few times. I like the words of old. The language of the past can bring such stories to life. I like the strength in the poem. You told a very good story in your words. Thank you.
