I STAND ALONE the poem I Stand Alone,of all things shorn on a dreary forsaken plain forlorn no hope.my dreams at my feet lie like shattered gems twinkling at the sky. no friends.no one to cry an alarm and welcome me home with open arms no one to whom i may implore for rescue from this PLUTONIAN shore(pluto is the God of the Dead,his realm is hades) Westward following the River Styx Stride I,the Damned.Stride I,the Damned. How much can i stand? i'm just flesh and bone. Forsaken.Forgotten.I Stand ALONE Heartbreak is now my intimate pain attends my every step how can i have joy for one instant when tears wrack my each and every breath? betrayed by the woman held in my arms so many betrayals the number is legion my heart is wounded,yes,severely harmed by the trials and travails of TRUE LOVE seeking. why should i go on? 'tis best to cease this useless pursuit for love fulfilled like a carcass attracting the carrion beast let Love be devoured.Let Hope be killed. Let my soul harden;let hatred bloom! let Rage and Fury replace hurt and pain send those who harmed me to their doom they'll never cause a heart to bleed again "CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!" what else could my combat skills be for? rend their flesh from their hateful bone while i cavort (dance) in their blood.I STAND ALONE deep breath.ALONE.TRULY ALONE no one can honestly want this fate i lie down upon my grave and moan denied entrance to the Pearly Gates i'm surrounded by hate,agony,and lies like the clammy caress of long dead flesh what demon in angelic womanly disguise wishes to rip my heart right from my chest? dear God! what sins have i committed that I,for years,am tortured so? whatever i've done,i shall repent it just please,God,let this agony go!! each new year brings new pain each New Year brings fresh wounds perhaps there really is nothing to gain and early death would be a boon (gift) life seems like unremitting cruelty what a trvesty is all of Man! when the death knell comes (and soon 'twill be) what relief from this brief painful life span!! medusa-like your heart must be wrought of stone as you betray my love. I STAND ALONE I STAND ALONE...yet STILL I STAND!! let the truth ring across this land! despite the best that HATE has done it has not conquered,it has not won. no matter the tears that i have shed no matter the pain Life has allowed i still proudly hold up my head battered,bloodied,but never bowed! (like BOW DOWN) if defiance is a sin,then i gladly commi it come battle me,Reaper,whenever you choose! your web of deceit i shred as you spin it and in the end,Death,even you shall lose! i "don the Armor of Faith" and the Sword of Truth" the mightiest weapon a warrior may wield unchanged by wise Age or impetous Youth all things to the Sword of Truth must yield i gaze deeply into the mirror of my own soul though i am flawed,i'm still a good man! though rain may fall and thunder roll I STAND ALONE...YET STILL I STAND!! i release this pain which hurt my heart! i've learned well the lesson which it has taught the only failure is to quit,or not even start for the search for love is never for naught! i laugh! fear flees my invulnerable being like shadows fleeing encroaching dawn once opened,my eyes can't be stopped from seeing sweet Hope,great Joy,and blessed Calm FEAR IS NOT WORTHY OF BEING FEARED hatred is not worthy of the hate it makes embrace peace that comes from a conscience cleared lessons learned,acknowledged mistakes. wisdom gained,intelligence blooms joy and happiness swell unbridled trials foretold in ancient runes give rise to the warrior-philosopher unrivalled behold,i transcend what came before ascend the mightiest mountain peaks sail the winds,cause the oceans to roar embrace wild fire, hearken when trees speak i stand,and face the rising dawn come all who would join me upon the spire!! with a gesture, i cup the sun within my palm and rekindle the moon's argent fire bless the heavens with kisses that become constellations my heart outmatches heaven's splendorous gleam bring peace to strife,understanding to consternation and Fire becomes FLOW,Deth becomes SUPREME now i laugh,and gently touch my heart which agony had once rent through the bone i cup this knowledge in my soul,an eternal spark i look my ex in the eye,and smile I STAND ALONE
enjoyable read. I like the cycle from abyssal dejectedness to understanding and acceptance of the same condition. I stand alone! Nice spin! I loved these lines among others of course: no one to whom i may implore for rescue from this PLUTONIAN shore Westward following the River Styx Stride I,the Damned.Stride I,the Damned. How much can i stand? i'm just flesh and bone. Forsaken.Forgotten.I Stand ALONE so many betrayals the number is legion like a carcass attracting the carrion beast let Love be devoured.Let Hope be killed.
