Shadows Beneath Heaven

by Paralyzed   Jun 9, 2008


This world is full of shadows,
Light comes from afar,
Much too pure and innocent,
This thriving, burning star.

Heaven must exist,
For hell, it feels so real,
Trapped inside this morbid dream,
Doomed to always feel.

Yes there's love, sweet sun and joy,
Though wicked rule the world,
Good and bad, the thread of all,
That's ever come unfurled.

Morning comes, but night shall fall,
Then shadows haunt this earth,
Tainting all that's ever lived,
Weakening our worth.

Do not let the darkness eat,
The soul you should hold dear,
Nothing kills you faster than,
Sweet bitterness and fear.

    Wow, another excellent and deep poem. this poem also drew me in completely.

    "Morning comes, but night shall fall,
    Then shadows haunt this earth,
    Tainting all that's ever lived,
    Weakening our worth."

    that was probably my favorite stanza.

    very good job.

    Sweet bitterness and fear! What an ending!!

    Your work is always so deep and profound! A poem debating heaven and hell. Anything this bad must be hell, right? So, if there is a hell, then heaven must exsits to balance the universe!

    A poem with a moral, I loved it!!

    Well done

    Michael
