Eyes Of Armageddon

Eyes Of Armageddon

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

Of Catastrophic Love.

"
"I Keep Walking The Distance.
 Into Your Heart With Temperance.
 For I Will Fall In So Far And Deep.
 The Beautiful Sound It Makes Me Fall Into Sleep.

 Please Don't Wake Me.
 An Exotic Paradise I Must See.
 In My Dream I See A Passage.
 Around And Beyond A New Voyage.

 Must I Choose To Fall?
 As We Dance In Hot Rainfall.
 Must I Decide To Leave It All?
 As We Make Love In Burning Snowfall.

 I Break Open Your Door.
 To Look Inside Your Eyes.
 I've Broken Into A Saviour.
 To Walk Away With Your Goodbyes.
 
 I Need To Open My Heart From Within.
 To See A New World For Us To Begin.
 I See My Soul On The Rain Drop From Your Chin.
 For This World Is Growing So Thin.

 You Tell Me - No Matter What Happens.
 To Never Let Go.
 You Ask Me - How Can It Be Our Own Weapons?
 For This Is The Day That Will End Our Sorrow.

 On This Day I Will Not Leave.
 Without You In My Arms.
 I Imprint Your Love For Its What I Achieve. 
 Without It Darkness Comes For Me In Swarms. 
 
 This Final War Can Never Hold Us From Loves Beacon.
 This Rainbow Effect On My Soul Is A Total Meltdown.
 I Can See The Slow Hand On The Clock Has Our Last Hour On Countdown.
 I Can See The Reflection Of Falling Fire From Your Eyes Of Armageddon."

"On This Day I Will Not Leave.
Without You In My Arms."
to know such love is the greatest gift

Such an incredible use of the word Armagedan as a metaphor for the many struggles in a love relationship.

"I Break Open Your Door.
To Look Inside Your Eyes.
I've Broken Into A Saviour.
To Walk Away With Your Goodbyes"

Very enigmatic and powerfully written

this is really good. the flow was good as well, save for just a few tiny parts. the last line in the poem tied everything in together. my favorite lines were:

i see my soul from the raindrop on your chin

must i decide to leave it all as we make love in burning snow fall?

the imagery is great here too. and i like how you bring something beautiful to a time where there is hot ash from the end of days around you. The message is great and the poem is a solid piece of work. I owuld only suggest watching your rythym when your lines get too long. i have the same problem. lol. Good work.

Very lyrical. I love the flow of this poem, the musicality of the words, the deep insight and fear among the devotion of love, the introspective nature when you look within, and the struggle with the internal and external forces that affects all of us at one point in our lives or another on a very deep, very human and fallible level.

Well done!
