Armistice Under Siege

by Aureus Argentum   Apr 7, 2011


Dream.
Armistice has arrived,
her beauty as pale as a fish.

Wage peace,
decimate the outbreath
of splendor, that we
may look upon the vision
of a smile.

Love boldly,
swim in constellations
of newly-born stars;

upon the tyrant throne
sits Death, watching,
laughing at your grief
oppression, that he
may feast.

Life mocks his amble
hate, less aged than
the cruelty of
redeemed men;

my heart unmoving,
assembles in fear -
dancing to witness
through silence
great miracles that dwindle.

Refined love, that in time
amends, and amends

forever.

    I've read this a number of times now, and I have to admit that I don't like it as much as the other winning poems this week. The reason is that some of the imagery is very confusing, which causes the overall message to be confusing.

    Poetic devices, like metaphors and similes, should help to illuminate the message, but some of these are so mysterious and cryptic, I'm not really sure what you are trying to say.

    I enjoy poetry that has a little mystery, but not so much that it leaves me confused and scratching my head.
