This Burning Church (Part 1)

by Mello193   Feb 14, 2015


Decapitated heads sing a hymn,
filling the feeling felt grim!
Now the true thanatos!

A light shines for you-
A light shines for me-
A light shines in everything-
A light shines forever so everyone can see-

Curtain raise on final days,
of learning ways in life's maze.
He enters slow, flames undertow
a monster in man fur!

"On my knees I'm praying,
your hearing what I'm saying.
Dear Father please forgive me,
for a sin that wont outlive me,
I am this broken church."

Heats of sin never win...

"These sins I must confess,
everything's made a mess
dressed in sundays best, it hurts
everything more is less/ anything more is less
I am this burning church."

"The windows are all smashed.
Everythings been thrashed.
Broken walls, words of hurt.
Our religious trashed.
I am this burning church."

In a daze in final days...

"The alters are all broken
left only a little token
alone on this here perch
all the things unspoken
I am this burning church."

Hearts of glass end up smashed...

"Stained glass in tiny pieces
like the fragments of a heart
as the fire inside increases, it hurts
everything is falling apart
I am this burning church."

Hearts of stone end up alone...

The pillars are all crumbled
like the fragments of a heart
we were left at only humbled, it hurts
everything is falling apart
I am this burning church."

Hearts of gold end up sold...

'The artworks are all stained
like the fragments of a heart
the fires calm now whats rained, it hurts
everything is falling apart
I am this burning church."

Hearts of steel never heal...

"The weight of what we speak
like the fragments of a heart
cant hold whats much too weak, it hurts
everything is falling apart
I am this burning church!"

"Now fade away.
No more to say.
Its my day.
Forever I lay.
The costs were payed.
Everythings prayed.
The way I'm made.

The light is so strong I can see it in you,
this is my last song, I can see it in me,
Silhouette of my cascade heart,
apart we depart.
The light inside is fading out.
the dark inside is setting in,
i am this burning church!"

From the dirt smear that smirch
Everything done, no research
All this hurt near your perch
Am I this burning church?

    Alright back to this, I found this one of the most secret hiding poems lately, it has a lot into it other than what the words reveal.

    The word choice seemed to be smart and intended,
    I was simply not blinking the 1st time I read it, I wanted to continue and reach the end, and I was even more curious to know about the 2nd part, and I am waiting for it, for real.

    Your repetition of I am this burning, church, I am this broken church was heart breaking, touching, and thought provoking, I was completely inspired with endless thoughts on it.

    I cant express in words how much I love this poem. I want it to be mine!

    "On my knees I'm praying,
    your hearing what I'm saying.
    Dear Father please forgive me,
    for a sin that wont outlive me,
    I am this broken church."

    "From the dirt smear that smirch
    Everything done, no research
    All this hurt near your perch
    Am I this burning church?

    I am new to your writings, so I am not sure what kind of perception I have about your style, but if this is how you write every poem, then you do really deserve to be on spot light.

    PS this can be a successful song, as successful as Hallelujah.
