They chanted, they challenged. Fallen Angel 22

by Darren   Nov 14, 2015


He stepped down from the nearest star
which had become very uncomfortable
and was moving away too fast
obscuring his vision.

He had also heard them..............

..........Bring
..........death
..........to the
..........devil
burn in your own hell
..........a hell
...........that
...........you
..........made
...........here
............on
..........Earth

Death? Devil?!

He couldn't die
not whilst man
ignited his flames
not while they continued
to pray
to his way,
to walk this earth in singularity
ignoring the other beasts
the vegetation
the oxygen.

He toyed with mocking them,
the obvious choppy chant
that flowed no better
than the filth they wallowed in.

Instead he walked amongst them
and as they cowered collectively
he raised a middle finger
with such magnificence
like a swan
taking flight from a lake
the ripples and the flapping
a real moment of wonder...

he saw fear
he saw regret
he saw cowardice
he saw panic

they saw obscenity.

I have decided to repost these as individual poems, they are taken from my poetry book I published on Amazon.

Some of the older members have already read these and I thank them
Just a quick fix to get my number of poems up. I was probably a bit quick publishing, some of these need more work.

    No worries, Darren; I thoroughly enjoyed them and no, I certainly don't expect you to read my poetry. If you have time to read a piece or two, great, if not, no problem at all - you're busy and you have a family - I understand that one! I just enjoy reading and loved these.
    Take care and all the best,
    Ben

    Nice work Darren as always. A very thought provoking, clever and imaginative write which I enjoyed.
    Well penned my friend!

    Darren,

    These truly have been one of my best finds since joining this site seven or eight months back.
    The imagery you have conjured and the imagination you have shown throughout every piece has been breath-taking - truly.
    But not only that, they would make anyone stop and think about what they are reading.

    I like this end from you. The irony of man standing up to the devil and his ways but in a way he would preach! Death and destruction and revenge - not Godly attributes, are they?

    Well done Darren and I'm sorry I found these so late.

    All the very best,
    Ben

      Thanks and well done for reading them all Ben,

      I really appreciate your effort.

      I have enjoyed reading your comments every day or so.

      I will have to return the favour at some point.
      (I know you didn't read all of these for this reason)

      Once I have finished my Elvis painting I will look at a few of yours.

      thanks again
