Friday the Thirteenth

by Michael D Nalley   Feb 13, 2009


The second month, thirteenth day
The year is two thousand and nine
You're seen among the living, on your way
To find your love, who is your valentine

The reaper of hearts, you search for a soul
Who just can't get you out of his mind
Silence rules the night where you will stroll
Heaven only knows what in hell you'll find

No grave can hold you in the cold dark earth
He longs for that day he takes his last breath
As if he sees in you a way to seasonal rebirth
When he unites with you somehow in death

Though the thought chills him to the bone
He waits for your kiss trembling with fear
Dreading each day that he must feel alone
He dreams of times you have been here

Friday the thirteenth brings a magic spell
In the woods prowls the stalker, and prey
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Rises the passion of Valentines Day

    "The second month, thirteenth day

    `Oh, Friday the 13th. I love how you wrote a poem about this. Its the day before Valentine's Day, we dont usually think of who our valentine is going to be on this day, or maybe we do.. but most of all we all think of Friday the 13th as a day full of superstition, we've all heard about this day.. anyways... Ill get to your poem and stop rambling!

    "

    `Your words really darkened the mood, I'm amazed you did a great job while still keeping your words simple and to the point.

    "No grave can hold you in the cold dark earth
    He longs for that day he takes his last breath
    As if he sees in you a way to seasonal rebirth
    When he unites with you somehow in death"
    `Well done, honestly youve pretty much mastered the flow and rhyme and the simplicity in your words is great because the poem is easy to understand.

    "Though the thought chills him to the bone
    He waits for your kiss trembling with fear
    Dreading each day that he must feel alone
    He dreams of times you have been here"
    `Loved the "trembling with fear" - Great work! Loved the word choice.

    "Friday the thirteenth brings a magic spell
    In the woods prowls the stalker, and prey
    Somewhere between heaven and hell
    Rises the passion of Valentines Day"
    `Powerful ending, kinda creeepy. Well done!

    5/5.

    The title drew me in :)

    'The second month, thirteenth day
    The year is two thousand and nine
    You're seen among the living, on your way
    To find your love, who is your valentine'

    You started with a good flow, but the last line ruined a bit, I think you'd be better having it as 'To find your love; your valentine'. An intriguing opening though. :]

    I found the rest of the poem a joy to read, I'm a big fan of dark poetry, and the flow and rhyme was consistent after that one line. :) Good work!
