Time Has Come

A Poem by Deandra Dawn
"

Take it as you will....

"

Time Has Come


It is time to receive retribution for

the actions perceived by the innocent as

destructive.

Mayhem guarding arbitrary advances of

undeclared self worth.

The confusing desire to dance

in the flames

licked by desperation and

melting in decay.

So vulnerable,

with heavy sighs

yet

light

breath .

It is but a curious itch

becoming only from

the flesh I have tasted,

while truth hides behind those

shielded eyes.

Lips parting only enough to

whisper

secrets,

and cover lies

Great write! I especially loved the last four lines. A very strong ending.

However, if I may offer some advice, or just an idea, use gerunds sparingly and wisely. They're a very passive sounding way of expressing something and (especially in a work like this) can hamper the piece's tones of confidence, passion, and power.

For example, the line,

"Mayhem guarding arbitrary advances of,"

sounds more like an ipso facto a stoic observation or statement rather than something definitive with a message behind it. However, if you say,

"Mayhem guards arbitrary advances of,"

there is suddenly more confidence in the narrator's voice and the subject matter seems a little more important, impassioned.

Well, that's just a small simple example. But I do highly recommend using gerunds only with a purpose or very sparingly. Other than that, I really enjoyed your passion that was clearly and effectively transferred into your writing. That is a strong trait and talent.

But thank you for sharing! Keep it up!

'desire to dance in the flames licked by desperation and melting in decay' very deep and clearly depicts the political and societal rot.........very nice piece
