The Tempest

by Marcus   May 3, 2007


I am violent, a force of nature,
A tempest, a natural fiery phenomenon,
I can end universes in the blink of an eye,
My intention is to create a new world order
Or I can fade to emptiness, I have the power to give life, and take it away,
With one quick thought I can spring forth a new world,
I have the drive and the will to destroy all,
I have the ability to create,
I have the power of a million suns in my hand,
Everything in the cosmos is afraid of me,
I stand alone amongst the masses,
There is no one who understands me,
My purpose is to explode,
Detonation is my becoming,
I am the supernova.

This poem reeks of vanity I know, but it was written in a time of my life when I was trying to motivate myself, and wasn't sure what my purpose was, and as the supernova is my nickname it seemed a fitting way to make myself feel better.
A super nova is a huge star at the end of it's lifespan.

    I wouldn't say this poem 'reeks of vanity' as you put it, I view it as being full of power. There are some fantastic images here and it is very well written.

    Peace, Poetry & Power,

    Really well worded, and such good imagery created, i really enjoyed it. it did not seem vein, it seemed meaning full and thought provoking. i got the impression it started as random thoughts and then, as if going through a sieve, became more refrained and focused. i loved the ambiguity of supernova.
