Heavens Carnage

by Nobodys Hero   Apr 17, 2008


Gazing at Crystal Rivers
Entranced by an empty sky
Cloaked by rancid shadows
Yet never questioned why

A shattered blade consumes me
I'm damned each passing day
I scream each breath is soundless
Each step with no meaning or way

Black ink stains this broken skin
I lust for the lacking pain
Poison courses through me
Each heart beat pumps in vain

Forever running from shadows
Consumed by a blanket of lies
Grey orbs remain so empty
Still scanning the lifless skies

Smearing the tainted darkness
Digging deeper every time
Each word thrown onto paper
Crying this blood soaked rhyme

    This piece, for me, wasn't as good as your other piece that I've read, but let's be honest, you do demand a high standard, so I wouldn't worry too much, lol.

    Anyway, I just think that the reason this wasn't as good as you’re others, was that it lacked power. The words in this piece didn't exude strength. You're flow was perfect, as ever, and it was a good length.

    Quite impressing poem. Only thing that bothered me is rhyme pain-vein, because I think that it isn't original as rest of rhymes are. Anyway, you managed to create deep, vivid atmosphere through this poem. It is very interesting and it shows your talent. I honestly enjoyed. I like your topic, and the way you described your emotions is very detail and convincing. Simply remarkable job, very unique.

    "Forever running from shadows

    lifless=lifeless. you forgot the extra e.
    I can totally relate to this particular stanza. It is like this was written about me.

    "Smearing the tainted darkness
    Digging deeper every time
    Each word thrown onto paper
    Crying this blood soaked rhyme"
    This also relates to me very well.
    I think that is my favorite stanza, but not by much.

    I find nothing wrong with your rhymes, your word choice, or your flow. The picture sketched in my head moved along flawlessly. The emotions in this were strong. It was a good poem. I can relate, which makes it better.
    5/5
