Rocked by the moments of departure --
we the missed the plane,
baby left and flew faraway,
the ending far from serene.
There was no last minute rush to the Airport,
we missed the train.

Two souls world's apart,
two different echos in different lives,
mistakes and riddles drove our every
whim.

A dive into sulphiric acid,
burning our flesh year by year
we let go the reason within it all,
scorched to bones and dancing
with dead.

Cadavers soaked in blood,
remembering what could have been,
nostalgia of lives we no longer live,
heart like frames over our eyes,
a hole in our chest, lights dancing
provactively.

Secret Gardens and empty dreams,
it all came to slave labour,
forcing up mirrors, reflecting
thousands upon thousands of empty
souls.

Up they went, and in that
day Rome was built.

Through that hall full of the visages we bear,
through the darkness of inner turmoil, broken
words, shattered kisses, naked bodies twisted
and malformed in the funhouse.

A clown, a jester I am, to entertain is my mission,
I'm to give you hell, give you heaven.

Angels singing a swan song,
as a brick falls to the ground,
a touch sends a shiver down my
spine.

This siege on my heart is bliss,
as they all come tumbling down--
down the stairs to the end.

Bring down the wall baby,
it's smashed beyond repair,
your kiss, your smile
has destroyed my shadow,
see the corpse of my fear
right here.
You poor take courage
You rich take care
This earth was made a common treasury
For everyone to share
All things in common
All people one
We come in peace
The orders came to cut them down

WOW! absolutely amazing. I do not even know where to begin in praise of this work. You are truly talented. You should seriously try and get this published, it is THAT good. I am amazed at the journey that i just went through in reading this. I love how it feels depressing and sad until at the very end you say corps of my fear, and it becomes a story of hope and a journey for happiness. I can not say how much i love this enough. I will be following you for sure! keep writing. You are an inspiration. Absolutely 5 stars here!!!

When I read this I literally stopped breathing for a moment.:D The emotions in this piece are raw and powerful, subtley weaved among the words. It brought along a large range of feelings, leaving me empty in the end, an interesting feeling. Your word choices were great and the flow was consistently smooth. Your concept wasn't very original, but the way you presented it was. A refreshingly good work all in all. To this I shall extend a *like*. :)

we the missed the plane

You have an extra "the" there.

A clown, a jester I am, to entertain is my mission,
I'm to give you hell, give you heaven.

This is a very powerful stanza, but I think you should change it to "a jester am I", to have it roll better.

Also a quick note: isn't it sulfuric acid? I could be wrong though...

Great work, keep it up! ^^

Hi Pal!

Okay, I've never reviewed a poem before, so I don't really know how to go about this. Okay, so...um, well, it was really confusing, you could say. You said it was after breakup love, but it sounds more like love after breakup, if you ask me. The expressions are really rather confusing - in one paragraph, it sounds like one of them died, and in the other, just separated, and...you know. There are also some capitalization errors, but I don't know if it's intentional or not. Just saying Don't take my words to heart, because as I said, I've never reviewed a poem before. Anyhow, ta ta!

Hey LastPaladin,

This is all a poem should be and more. Your use of language is great and your poetry is so
grand, and honestly, its an honour and a privilage to read your work. Truly, it is. I definitely
felt I was taken on a journey here, and your potrayal of feelings in this was beyond amazing.
From the first word to the last, it was simply awesome. Who starts a poem with 'rocked'? You do.

Thank-you for posting your work.
