Love's Slave

by Finalgravedigger   Nov 4, 2008


Gasping and Collapsing as one bows and kneels
Wrenching and desecrating, left to animal like squeals,
Suffocated by chains, eyes dessicate from fear
Will is lost as love's command becomes clear.

Controlling and ordering it's people to erase their pride
To be drenched in emotions and never let it hide,
Run on a impotent path for false happiness
To live on hope that shall become madness.

The grieving and shrieking will make any want more
As cracks become trenches on reality's floor,
Craving for peace, the emptiness thrives on souls
Forcing many to become puppets under no control.

Desperation is a new found partner in life
As they become one there is infant strife,
Harboring a fire inside, praying for the hero of hearts
But instead it was the one who threw the torch from the start.

    The thing that stuck out to me most was your flawless word choice. I could tell you took your time picking words that would fit in perfectly and it truly made the poem a masterpiece for me. Your flow was great and nothing seemed out of place or forced. I loved the message behind you sentences because it made me think and want more at the end. Your use of imagery was great in creating the scene in my mind and this was a unique poem that I truly enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing.

    I think the title is meant to be "Loves Slave" because Love isn't a noun (in any case, I'm pretty sure) so it means "Love is Slave".

    "Wrenching and desecrating, left to animal like squeals,"
    I think it's meant to be "left to animals" not animal.

    Other than that, I feel there are way too many adjectives in this

    That's a good article to read if you haven't already done so.

    Anyway, this was delightfully dark. I'm increasingly becoming a fan of dark poems and this just fuels me further.
    The images created are great, I love the use of the word desecrating in the first stanza, I feel it is the ultimate dark word that isn't used nearly enough or in the right context.

    Good job here, 5/5

    Kind of a unique poem in the sense that it is a dark poem, but in many ways about love...I felt the rhymes were done pretty well and it helped the flow out greatly. Nice job 5/5 GG23
