Trails of Tears

This piece is about man breaking free from the bondage of his own desires.

Heart that beats inside the melodic riverbed,

he mesmerizes my soul with enchanting rhythms

the pebbles make when he tosses them into your sensual body.

I wade within this mass that has created unforeseen trails of tears

that accentuate his somber eyes.

The great owl belonging to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war,

whispers cryptic satire in my strident ears.

For these are the vindication of cost and reward.

Sweet rays of sunlight caress my cold flesh with their penetrating stare,

and consecrate all who dance naked in the sacred waters of heaven.

His smile is the warm embrace that surrounds my tortured heart

with white light.

It submerges deep into the star that dwells within my mystic voice box.

When the thunder erupts in aphonic  voices, her fire shall burn the sum

who persist in rearranging the Lord's body that resides inside her icy spirit.

Loosen the reigns, I say, and tear down these walls of folly you so parade

your slumbering disease has become you in your shackles, ball, and chain.

Well, as always your imagery and diction were awesome. I like the Greek theme throughout. A solid piece.

This piece was amazing. The imagery jumped off the page. Keep up the good work!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The imagery was very vivid and detailed and the usage of nature in relation to the human spirt was magnificent...

Sweet rays of sunlight caress my cold flesh with their penetrating stare,
and consecrate all who dance naked in the sacred waters of heaven.
His smile is the warm embrace that surrounds my tortured heart

that part in particular was really amazing... I see this as how love can actually be very liberating to a soul.
