Embers Of Yesterdays

A poem about my biggest hero...

Judge 

The Unknown,

Define 

Without Empathy,

Regret

Tragic Simplicities;

Human Nature.

Destroy 

Happiness,

Believe

Without evidence,

Evanescent

Perfection;

Human Nature.

Innocent Until

Proven Guilty?

Or

Guilty When

Still Innocent?

Human Nature,

Answer Me

You blur the lines

Between 

Beautiful 

And

Ugly,

Fame

And

Talent.

Never care,

That's how you live.

"Rot in despair!"

Honestly,

Is that fair?

Turn the gears,

Destroy possibilities

Of future prosperity...

Michael Jackson

Fell Victim

To Human Nature's

Cruel Denature.

His Talent and Glory,

His forgotten Life Story

Destroyed at you hands...

Did you forget 

He was Human?

He loved you,

You killed Him.

Do you regret

When you stare 

At His Past?

Watch My Hero

Fade Into

Thin Air

Human Nature,

You turned the world

Against Him.

With one white lie,

A million more form.

You watched

 His Hope and Love

Die.

The World Waits,

 His Heart's

At Stake.

His last days were

Spent returning 

To our Love,

Returning to

Our Hearts,

Trying to restart.

But

The world 

Made plans;

Leave him cold,

Lifeless.

Burning Fires

Of The Past

Never Last

Forever.

I watched 

Him burn

Into Embers

Of Yesterdays,

What His life

Used to be

Before this

Made-up tragedy,

Infidelity.

Understand,

Rumors fade.

Human nature.....

You made

His

Bleed Forever.

Yesterdays' Fires

 Suffocate,

Endless Debate;

Truth Transparent,

Rumors Of Him 

Dominate.

Roses dying

On his grave,

He's six feet under

A Fading Day.

Twilight immerses

Itself in His soul.

He's Slipped Away;

Left believers' hearts

Endless holes.

Free Falling 

Into Despair,

Watch Us 

Try To Prepare

For The End.

You Strive on 

Second Chances

When the clock ticks again,

But

Human Nature,

Wait for the moment

When you're 

Without friends,

Love.

You'll know the pain,

Nightmares.

You'll know why 

I'm not scared

To write this.

You'll know why I believe

In Purity.

In Him.

You'll Know Why 

He Was Who 

He Was.

Memories Fade

But 

Teardrops Remain.

Human nature,

Judge if you may.

Know some 

Are smarter,

Won't give in.

I'll stand alone

If I must,

But even after what you did

To Him,

To Me,

I Still Believe In Us.

I'll Drown My Heart

In Trust.

[Muse]

Very very clever, some advice my dear. Sometimes it's about quality, not quantity, it was beautiful but bewildering, you had my head in a spin. Focus on the message, there is a lot of redundancy here. Please don't take this in a negative light, I was on another writer's website where I had to take some hard core constructive criticism from published and estabolished authors, but I did not take it personally, it instead made me a better writer.

[Curiosity's Virtuoso]

Love the wording! My favorite stanza is "Innocent Until, Proven Guilty? Or Guilty When Still Innocent? Human Nature, Answer Me" Very clever poem with a topic everyone can think about and relate to.

[Kyla H]

Very breathtaking. The flow is very wavy, yet calculated and well put together! Though it may have dragged on just a bit. Despite that, nicely done!

[Blue Moon Ice Cream]

What Muse said! :D It was just too long for me because I didn't know who it was about. My eyes kept straying to see if the person was mentioned. Other than that, you wrote with passion and I liked how you occasionally put some lines in bold italics--it was a cool effect to emphasize those lines. So I had to go read your profile and see if I could figure out who this was about....and my best guess is Michael Jackson?

[Aleyah]

This is awesome!!! I love the intensity & the unusual flow...this is amazing, seriously. So cutting & beautiful at the same time. Love this :DDDD

[Jaded Mermaid]

I would say something really witty and just inspiring here but Muse kinda covered it, lol. I'll favorite it instead.

[Kelsie Eileen Stark]

Brilliantly strong words expressed through "the warmth of your heart".. Beautiful joB!

[toniwilliamsga]

i really like this poem but i give up who is it about?lol!

[Kayla K]

My only guess is Taylor Swift since she's all over your profile, but I'm not for sure. Great poem, whoever it's about.
