"Footsteps in a Gothic Cathedral"

Admission,

inclusion

in the fire, in the soul

of one

with black lips

speaking prophecies.

The crypt,

the birth

of a new nature

dwelling latent

within the words

I scribe

with shaking hand.

What will be born

from this creation,

what have I made?

A demon,

an angel,

a self

even more terrifying

than the mirror image

which sang to me

the damning lullaby

from the first.

Prayers from the saints,

statues collecting dust,

to a god

who so often

fails to hear me,

fails to hear,

fails me...

  1. I guess your idea of "creepy" music is Fallout Boy.


  2. God and the individual are tricky twigs to bundle. One of the most important lessons for an artist (or any human, for that matter) is learning what we can expect of God.

    Like a commuter train's rails, there must be a third connecting member for the energy to flow.

    God wants a progeny, an outcome. Not just an o****m.

  3. oooo!..wooow..!..i never saw a "dark" poem coming...

    come on!!!..."dark" poems are very stupid,over done,and everything else bad

    u cant wright

  4. God always hears. Sometimes, He says "no."

  5. I really like it.  To many people are afraid to touch on the darker side of things even though it's completely natural.

  6. The person this poem is describing reminds me of someone who has lost 99% of their faith in god and is on the brink of changing into something they are not sure they want to be. That last 1% of faith is hanging on and by the end of the poem, the lack of faith wins after all

  7. Oh, wow.  That last stanza is amazing.

    Good work.
