The Last Day

by Spirit   Jun 30, 2007


The shouting disappeared
darkness's leave awakens him
nothing can stop the bold light
from penetrating in

A new day has started
and he knows without a doubt
no matter what he does or says
there's no way he's getting out

The chantings ceased to ring
all possibilities, now lost
for fear no longer fears
and hopes to high a cost

Giving in sounds easy
but he knows the devil's tongue lies
now he feels betrayals scorn
for todays the day he dies

    Wow, I liked it, it flowed brilliantly, but I think that was down to the rhyming scheme. I am curios now, like why he's dying, all the metaphors, the true concept, oh well.

    ^^ LOVE this opening, so much power and beautiful imagery, however I don't think you need "the" in the first line.

    "A new day has started

    ^^Favourite stanza of the poem. So much melancholy yet so beautifully written, creating many emotions for me as the reader.

    ^^ I didn't like the closing line here, it seemed weaker to me whereas I find the rest of the poem incredibly strong throughout.

    That being said, I enjoyed this, imagery was beautifully portrayed throughout, as was the depth and emotion and the flow was flawless throughout.

    ^^ Other favourite stanza of the piece, I find this stanza to hold almost as much power as the rest of the piece put together.
