An execution of thy heart

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Dec 3, 2012


A witness to murder of thy
broken heart , we barely knew ye-
my love,why thou so deceiving, for
no law would banish thee from thy side.

Forgiveness, a word?, a way of life
for I can not allow thy heart to dual,
just to live imprisoned,in thous treacherous
red palms.

Thou shall not stand beside me no more
for with this silver, I give to thy heart,
with a single tear from thyself-
I find thee guilty , an execution of thy heart.

I thought I'd experiment a bit
See what you guys think :)

    This is brilliant Tony. I love the implementation of the old style here - there's no bigger fan than me of it. It brings an extra..........romance to any poetry, doesn't it?

    This is like medieval. Very interesting feel to it. This feels like a trial, almost. And you're the judge delivering a verdict and a prosecutor seeing all the evidence of damage and such. It's pretty creative there, Tony. c:

    I do love old English! Its elegant and rich when written in a way that makes the words flow like a song! This poem did just that for me. Its graceful and filled with sorrow. I had a vision of a knight, standing at the top of a cliff, confessing his broken heart to the wind. It gave me a Romeo and Juliet feel to it, which I admire. I'm glad the author decided to try something new, because I felt it did a beautiful job with this piece! Well Done!!!!

    Tony this is beautiful! I really admire how you wrote in old English, it flowed well and portrayed still that lingering sadness of your emotions. Good job :)

    I think...... you should experiment more. I love the older style language being used in poetry especially in a more updated version of emotions. It works really well here and makes it so much more powerul to read and on the eye.

    Very well done, it was a very sad worded poem but the message and idea behind it so very unique, to the broken heart but being a murder. So clever, well done.
