One chance

by Veronica   Jan 3, 2007


A tortured soul
on the way down
stop at earth
and looked around

he noticed a girl
quite content with life
who was happily taken
a soon to be wife

he kidnapped her body
and collapsed her soul
her heart turned to dust
and his, black as coal

away she went
leaving all behind
she had no idea
of what she would find

he tortured her more
until she was tame
she was so different now
she didn 't know her name

"your complete now" he said
in a voice so dark
"I've done all I can
I have left my mark"

"why did you do this?"
she asked with a sigh
he bowed his head slowly
and began to cry

"you don't know what its like
being tortured in the past
I have many problems
and my pain is vast"

"I see" said the girl
as she touched his face
"but you don't need to take this
you can leave this place"

she showed him out
of where he'd once been
he looked up toward sky
the light he had seen

"Finally I'm free"
he said with a glance
which proves all you need
is just one chance

    Alright, well I'm not very good at critiquing these ones, but unfortunately I am unable to critique your love poems. (My computer signs me out and sometimes freezes when I open those up.) So here I am. I love that this was done in the form of a story - and I have found that people who can write poetry in the form of a long, understandable story accomplish quite alot as a writer. If they're really good, they accomplish more than us who do it for the pure rush and feeling of 'poems for emotional release' kind of thing. :P
    I don't know which you prefer to write, or what comes easier to you - but I almost want to see something different. I've seen that you can keep up a rhythm, and the four line stanzas... Have you ever tried something different from a four line stanza? Have you tried a Haiku, or couplets, limerick... In all honesty I would love to see you do a limerick because something tells me you'd conquer that one quite fast - and do it well.
    Try pushing yourself for more :)
    Great job here!

    I like this. I like how there's this certain mystery and darkness that kind of sheds near the end. The fearness of the male character sort of fades as the femininity guides him into a better place.
