The Black Iris

The Black Iris

A Poem by Color of the Iris

Who says suffering will always have to pain me?
Only God can know what I've lost inside,
And as my hate for you can only branch out
Her black iris will scream death before the dawn

No one knows what you've done
That's the life behind your black power
And no one wants to realize your the darkness
That hypnotizes our world and lures it from the light

Screaming for an answer
Praying it will come
Hoping it shall be heard
And wishing you were done

To be the only one to know
There's a cost that must be paid
And no matter how far we run
It will be there when we return

Your lust is greater than the breath of your care
Dare not to waste it on me
For I'm nothing, but worthless to you
I can only equal the cast outs that you've thrown away

My anger for you still germinates
Like a seed nestled within the earth
One day to sprout, and bloom
Dominate the land around her

Now you've gotten what you most desire
And you hate all of the world
You know you can't be helped
So you use me, and think I can fix you

The silence in this world
Is the only key to the sanctuary
A debt is placed upon us
So we may not enter

And as you sit highest in the sky
Your crown resting upon your head
I hope you know that one day
You tower so high in the sky
 Will fall...

Author's Note

Color of the Iris
It seems random to me!!! I had a lot of emotions just all of a sudden leap from my conscience and my heart when I started writing this... it basically is a small summary of all what I've been feeling lately... wow. It's a really big flush out...

Wow, love the dark feelings this generate within me.. I think we all know someone like this.. most of us, I can only assume have been stung by their venomous retort... I enjoyed seeing the emotion flow from you, and giving you that therapeutic release that only writing can offer.. Enjoyed this very much!

I liked your interpretation on the person you wrote about. Let me say I know a few people like this. I especially like the last stanza because it tells me more about what this person is like and their predicted downfall. I also liked the germination metaphor. Great connection. Overall, good job! I enjoyed it!

I believe writing is a form of therapy, getting out the rush of emotion to free oneself. You did an amazing job~

Hello Eye,

Have I ever told you my eye story? I love eyes, they are the windows....oh sorry yeah I will get to the review.

It's random, but you can feel the darkness in the beginning then lead to anger and loss.. It was quite excellently done. A great write. I do feel bad for the person this is written about, I would imagine a painful demise is in their future.

Regards,

Matthew
