Of The Fallen Spirit

This one may be a bit hard to decipher but it's basically a poem about life's brutal kicks and punches.



Lying,
-Concrete grass-

Dying,
-Fatal slash-

Crying
-Of what you stash-

Alone again.
Fought the war.
Right here again.
Life so poor.

A pool of blood.
Bring in the flood.
Laugh at me
-one more time-
Go, just take it!
-My last dime-

Howling!
-Such an unseen vision-
The sun has risen,
brand new day.

You bite

-I sigh-

You fight
-I cry-

This ain't no dream
-I'm gonna scream-


One more person from this world.
Mind so twisted, body curled.

The knife
-The life-

The dead
-The dread-


Thoughts unspoken,
left unsaid.
Hurry now,
it's turning red.

A body broken
-mine, perhaps-
A bell is tollin'
-Drop down, collapse-

Stop!
-STOP!-
No more to take!
Tell me,
when will I awake?

Blood!
-Of dripping stems-

Flood!
-Of life's stitched hems-


-Dancing
-Dying

-Laughing
-Crying

-Dreaming
-Screaming

-Beating
-Fleeting

-Crawling


....Falling-


And to the abyss below.

Thank you! I just wanted to try a style that could emphasize my point better.

Overall I really liked the poem. It was a bit different to read in the beginning but I soon became accustomed to it. I loved the fast-paced motion you kept alive throughout the poem. It reminded me of the frantic beating of a heart with an adrenaline rush right before it dies. Very beautiful poem.

This is pretty cool, I liked the unusual setup and prose of writing. It really rolls off the tongue when you say it aloud. :)
