I stand alone

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.
