SWAN SONG
 
Kill the night
Before the day awakes,
As I feast off the living and dine with the dead.
My curse lies beneath a heart I can no longer call my own;
While my mind sinks deeper,
Below the waves of Zennor.
 
Children weep as they watch a world burn,
In the heavy hands;
Which are the Zombies.
Lies and truth twist until language snaps,
Like the spines of the children,
As a cancer of grief dissolves my sanity.
 
Burry your love and banish your faith.
Guns fire to mark the delay of your repents while I sit and wait.
Wait.
Wait for justice from a stolen life.
The world is my jury,
Witness: my tears.
 
A Chemical Romance burns holes
In my smile with a Parade of black lies.
Corrupted hearts and clockwork frauds are all you are.
Tear out what’s left from my chest
And feed your dogs.
Do not expect love
We are not swans.

Hello, I just finished reading this poem with my teacher while she was giving a lecture about this website on the overhead projector. And I think you have made a very good clear statement on what is the main reason for writing this wonderful poetry. If I might make a tiny note, you want to balance out the lines when using a short line with a combination of long lines. You want to captivate the reader with a variety of these lines but used in a strategic like pattern. I hope this helps :)

Okay thanks! :) this helps a lot! I'll also keep it in mind for future poems! Strange to here that my poem was projected to your class, wasn't expecting that! hehe thanks again :)

Hello , This is Gaurav here to review your work,
First of all, Welcome to This site and society.
Now , Your work is really heart touching . I appreciate it.
Now it comes to criticize ( I'm not good in it though) :-
Sometime lines are a bit longer as compared to the others which can be reduced . It is my personal choice though . I am not quite experienced but what I can say is that the idea behind this work is very Good and I like it.
Choice Of Words Is also nice and I'm amazed to see the flow of words so smoothly and I did not get any spelling mistake.
We hope to see more works in future.

All the best,
keep writing
