Tainted Purity

by Lonely Little Dreamer   Aug 27, 2007


Little porcelain doll,
With skin as smooth as ivory silk.
Rose colored cheeks, a cherry blossom smile.
Quietly sitting upon the down feather bed.

She sits and watches the world go by,
With sparkling glass eyes.
Taking in every moment, every word;
Emotionless, never stirring from where she rests.

As the world grows darker from words of hate,
The doll is tossed from where she lay.
She falls, crashing to the floor below.
Her once perfect face now cracked, her smile is broken.

She lays beaten, battered, beyond repair;
But the world is blinded by anger and greed.
No one notices the dying girl upon the ground,
Nor the tears that fall from her empty eyes.

She cries for the damned upon the earth,
Unable to scream out her fears.
Growing colder with time, the world is lost;
As death kisses purity's fragile lips.

    Wow that was breathtaking.. it had a beauty that was almost haunting. It seems to me like an angel who is having a nightmare about the way that the earth is turned out with all of the hate. It also seems to me that in the end the angel dies before it is able to save the world from what it has become, and that depresses the angel. I can really relate to this poem because everyone knows what it feels like to moun something that you have no power over stoping. Nice job, especially for such a short poem.

    This was great, I loved how you made the doll hold human qualitys really good use of personification. You have an interesting imagination which you put into poems and create such wonderful pieces. The emotional sadness which I felt coming from this was deep and powerful I couldn't shake it at all. Started great ended great. ~Mel
