The Ending

by LadyPearl   Jun 8, 2007


Checkered floors of black and white
Dream of darkness-dream of light
An opened book with pages torn
Where past shadows have been borne
Writings carved on bathroom walls
Heaven cries and angels fall

A broken vase on broken glass
A rose still beating to it's last
Make-up scattered across the ground
Half-charred portraits lay around
Forgotten dresses dance with dust
Once-new windows lined with rust

Burnt out furnace-blackened coal
Many lives these memories have stoled
Step by step a shadow takes out a hand
With those shaky bones-one last command
To the past, a match-coal dust fuse
There rise the sign of the Devil's hues

    Heh.
    I actually liked it.
    I usually don't finish poetry
    Because I correct them too much.
    And the owners just get mad at me.
    But for this?
    There's nothing I wouldn't change except
    Adding some punctuation in there.

    All in all.
    Flow and emotion were perfect.
    Grammar was okay.
    But 5.5

    "Many lives these memories have [stoled]" - stolen.

    Admirable piece. I adore the imagery you depicted in every line and stanza--splendidly written. In my mind's eye, I see the whole fire accident ardently. (My bad if I'm mistaken by that notion.) 5/5

    Cool poem. I really liked it. The flow of this poem was great and I loved the word choice. It was like something from a movie. I gave it a 5/5.

    This poem is fantastic and the flow is amazing as well, I loved the imagery throughout the poem especially the first stanza I could picture it word for word. "Forgotten dresses dance with dust
    Once-new windows lined with rust" those were my favourite lines. Excellent write 5/5
