Succumb

by Daniel Mulvany   Feb 3, 2005


I'll take my heart and pour it out,
Until this papers soaked with blood,
And tears, dammed up, as they no doubt,
Do release now here to flood,
The soul that cannot find reprieve,
From the pain the world has shown.
How on earth can you relieve,
A soul with pain no soul has known?
When copings no longer enough,
And it comes time to take a stand,
Will I be able to uncuff,
What now is binding to my hands?
For if I don't you'll find I'll be,
Longing just for one more breath,
Hoping to find you here with me,
Pain or pleasure, life or death.
So use your heart and make your choice,
But know that Ill always be here,
Longing for to hear your voice,
To wipe away your every tear.
And know, as well, that I would give,
All the Lord's allowed in life,
If only I could with you live,
Making you, in time, my wife.
But if that day should never come,
Destined, am I, to be alone,
And left will I be to succumb,
To all the pain the world has shown.

    Another beautiful piece. I loved it from start to end. You certainly have an amazing vocabulary range. I hope I dont need a dictionary for the next poem I read:P.. but seriously that was awesome. There was so much pain and agony in this poem but its so beautiful. I loved it! Great job!

    I know its' an incredible poem with an amazing story behind it or some kind of feeling being described.... but i honestly can't grasp it. Not because you havn't been descriptive or clear enough, but because your high level vocabulary is well above my own. so for that i congratulate you.

    "Pain or pleasure, life or death", that is a very very powerful line, that really hit it out. ok, i'm writng this as i read so i think it's understandable if i read slowly....

    right. It's mostly got remarkable flow, however "But know that Ill always be here" there's soemhting wrong with that line. i think it's a syllable out of place or something. for some reason it just doesn't fit.

    But hey, it was absolutely, undeniably worth my time. It was a very well written. as you may have noticed, i commented on 2 of your poems, this is due to teh fact that this poem was so good, i thought i might enjoy reading another.
    thanks again for comemnting on "truth divine" even though i didn't understand the letter thing you were talking about.
