The Edge
Immeasurable Darkness Revealing Your Fate
Lurking freely, masked, unseen
Bubbling just beneath the skin,
Its mean, untamable, inevitable force
Clear a path as it takes its course
Mayhem slaughter destruction and so
Run for shelter, it's about to blow.
Immeasurable darkness revealing your fate
Bloodlust growing, adorning the slate
No sympathy, it's ignoring your please
Salivating furiously as you fall to you knees
Showing no pity the pounding begins
Cashing in pounds of your flesh, for your sins.

Post a CommentOddly cadenced and purposedly violent. It kind of grows on you.
Not only is this great AND rhyming, but it will probably give me nightmares!
I love this photograph with this piece, it is so suitable. Very good!
Great flow of words. Good job.
wow...awesome picture too.
Very nice and intense,love the picture.
I envision evil, misery and punishment. It's crazy how so few words create so much imagery.
I agree -- this is very intense! Great poem!
Beautifully penned with extraordinary imagery. Well done! Roberta Baxter
