For Whom the Bell Tolls

For Whom the Bell Tolls

A Poem by William
"

time marches on for whom the bell tolls.

"

let bells tolling like teardrops scream,
as she's dragging him down, down.
like the whisper of death,
blooming from the drop of red on his once-white shirt--
he knows there's no going back now.


if hell's frozen over, then
like the drums pounding in the heat

a thumping heart, a tribal beat,
she'll be queen and he'll be king.
unconquerable, uncontrollable,
she'll rage like the fire she fears--
she'll trace her freezing fingers
down his bloodstreaked face.
sweat and tears, ice and frost,
high on their pedestals,
hated and adored.
but they can't stop the revolution,
so she'll smile with a mouth stitched shut,
and scared white eyes
as her fortress burns.
she'll watch the shuddering retreat,
the death of a king,
and she'll see the rings and rings of smoke,

as they all come tumbling down.

This as a intense and fast paced rhythm to it. Your use of words, their sounds and their imagery is very good and makes the poem have the feel of being chased or being in a fantasy film. Very well written you make the reader think and you create intensity and another world with your words.

I loved the visuals. They really stood out. Your words created a scene that was hard to ignore. ^_^

I love the imagery in this! Wonderfully wicked! And the tempo keeps the reader intrigued and wrapped up in this tale. Interesting that you decided to stay away from capitalizing any words, especially those at the beginning of the line, it makes the entire poem seem that much more intense. As though the words themselves are so descriptive and make such an impact already that capitalizing any of the words, even if they follow a period, would be over-kill (or even take away from the impact). Well done with this very well written piece!

Hello, my name is William and I'm a write-aholic. My first poem ever was written in January 2009, so I'm still pretty rough. Nothing is perfect, but I'm addicted to writing, and I do enjoy doing it.. more..
