Fire, Water, and Blood

Contributed by katzie on Wednesday, 24th March 2004 @ 10:08:17 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Once...
Twice...
Three times the pain..
each deceiving
once thought of as gain..
The fire's dance
the flames comforting warmth
Once took from winters killing chance
Children huddled round the hearth
Compelling you "come closer dear"
Walking towards your new-found friend
Good words the only ones you hear
Fire's powerful burns shall be your end
Once taunted by these darkening flames
one would turn to fires supposed foe
In waters cooling flow you came
let the wonderful feelings flow
You think you've found your friendship now
You trust the waters evermore
The liquid consumes you, chokes you, drowns
No friendlier than the one before
You turn from all
life's not worth living
at the thought you're appalled
You're needed help no one's giving
The sharpened blade risen above your head
comes hurling down and plunges deep
You know you'd be better off dead
from the panging wound you begin to seep
The blood comes flowing from your own
Your final foe, the one you feared
Yet somehow you think you should have known
somehow this one in which you were so afraid..
was your only friend.....
all along...
One...
Two...
Three...
Fire... Water...Blood

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
