Heavy Metal Contest Poems Voting

Hello, please pick your top poem and send me your pick via PM. Thank you to those who participated.

Uriah Heep

You made me want to be a magician
to greet the sunrise with rituals
incantations and energetic cries
while angels and demons dance.

Pounding rim shots,
screaming harmonies,
staccato leads and
shouting lyrics.

Through it all dynamic imagery
unexpected changes
driving to charged peaks
racing down tracks.

Thank you for leading the way
for the heavy metal genre
that nearly no one even knows
how much it owes you.

..........................................

A streak of blue
Sad but true
Rode out on lightening rod
Seek and destroy
Bleed out the boy
For he is black and lost

Platinum shards
Whiplashed and hard
Corrodes his creeping death
The unforgiven
Crushed and driven
Turn page unwanted guest

King of nothing
Skull concussing
The day that never came
Mamma said
Music is lead
Let’s welcome home his pain

So, what they say
Beneath the grey
Four horsemen ride on gold
Fading to black
Bibles retract
For whom the bells will toll

Battery cells
Leak like wells
Enter the Sandman’s wrath
Metallica Orion
Eroding Zion
The puppet master laughs

He’s bleeding me
With fatal she
Wherever I may roam
Ones poisoned sight
on Osmium nights
Orgasmic Hell of moans

Leper messiah
Scarred pariah
The god that failed to rise
That should not be
frayed sanity
Justice can only cry

Break free
................

Ten tonne chains confine
Slither and snaking
Around me and mine

Pulling taught, splitting skin
crushing bones and all within

beneath this weight
my breath now caves
a life hanging,
quaking and shaking

my throat is tight
where is the light
then tasting iron
is actually nice, just right

I begin to gnaw
At my metal shirt
Lick and chew for all I’m worth

At first not much
But then to my surprise
A link breaks from the snake

I Bite, bite, bite
All the ore in sight
Freeing the chains
To my delight

No matter how heavy
The chains appear
We have the strength
Inside, right here!
