Swords of Fire

Death does come in many ways
My craze, my torture written with malice on this page
How can my feelings integrate the pace
Your destiny you do not face
Your mind so jumbled with obscurity and rage
The insecurity and fear burns through a tinted haze
Drops of blood flow from beautiful green eyes
Caressing the stubborn and unrepeatable cries
Why? is the question to your torment and hast
It was you who set the scene with violence bound by what you would call your grace
You wrapped my beauty in splintered wire and pretended to protect me with swords of fire
Your grip so choked around my neck, my end so near you released my breath
Holding your guilt you built this fort to deny your reasons of what you were taught
Are you worth the games you play just to have that minuscule amount of praise
Oh how I feel your pain and hurt but you my dear friend must regret your worth
For you must love you before you gaze upon another
And accept your judgments for they will suffer in dungeons of mindless and schizophrenic blunder
Forever tormenting that putrid gutter that has no escape from your inward clutter

WoW! This was a pretty incredible, and very powerful piece! I question all relationships these days. Ya never know the real truth in people until it hits ya in the face; then they show you their real side after the damage is done. This was really brilliant, with great explainations and dipictions. Excellent work!! :)

So much emotion spilling across the page... 'Swords of Fire' indeed - flamed from the heart and cast out
with sharp intent. All the lines are well crafted!

One must confront the abusive lover in order to escape. Realization is expressed in pity for the perpetrator, yet righteously requires accountability. The Sword of Fire tempers the soul of the aggrieved, refining its strength to continue with resolve to seek what is not here.

A wonderful piece of free verse poetry... the feelings and emotions are amazing... sometimes you can think you are in a healthy relationship and yet you find it is slowly killing the real you.
