The Penman of the Dead-Used Match

by Luke   Feb 18, 2005


Quick strike,
Burst of flame
Shining light,
Drowéd fame

Slowly burnéd,
Ashes remain
Instead of lead,
It’s the same

The signéd name,
Ash’s pen
Written treason,
Cardinal sin

These words,
Conspiracy
Church’s will,
Hypocrisy

Faith betrayed,
Truth remained
Readied noose,
Loosened neck

Heaven above,
Looking down
Loss of love,
Angels frown

    Why has no one else read this poem? Hmm, ah well, guess I'm first...
    I'm not too big on the 2-3 words per line, I like more description so it can expand a poem... but it's your choice...
    Great metaphors and description. Very breezy read.
