A Crown Of Thorns

Contributed by MoonTides on Saturday, 28th December 2002 @ 10:40:00 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Prickled edges of scorn forgotten,
A sharp sword slashing open my life,
Painfully naked I watch as hate,
Bites into my life,
Jaws slimy with fate.
Nectar was life's birth,
The unfolding of a bitter rose,
To be cursed with thorns,
When the dying sweetness has come.
Delectable now shall death be,
Feeling now the hurt and sting of grace.
Nettles of hate,
That were barbed with doubt,
Dug into my flesh,
As my soul strove for hope.
The last fragments of joy
Were picked clean from my soul.
Already their bitter song,
Is singing in my ears,
A wreath of thorns is crowning my head.
I’m suffering the parting blood-
And I know I’m almost dead.
The last cry from my calling lips,
On my death white face,
Three quivering tears lie
I surrender to the being,
That has cursed me with so much pain,
As it clothes me,
In a cloak of darkness.
Relief has settled on my face,
The evil has now left,
My stone dead body where it lay.
And the thorns have withered,
And turned to dust,
The rose has bloomed with an ever-greedy lust,
And my heart has stopped when the pain became too much.
