The Crimson Tear

 

 

My tears are ever flowing now,

These tears of crimson red,

They stain and spoil the ground asunder,

Exactly why cannot be said.

 

The fire within my eyes,

Now burns down my cheek,

Dripping from my chin,

Making the future very bleak,

 

The yellow moon is full,

My feelings at a potent height,

Both good and bad surface,

As part of my unholy blight.

 

Never to lose it,

It will always be there,

When I look within myself,

I can but stare.

 

My vision is clouded,

With this damned red mist,

My future so hidden,

Oh how I shake my fist!

 

Though anger only feeds it,

And so doth fear,

And when I think it’s gone,

I feel it…

The Crimson Tear.

 

 

Well there she be, that is one of my favorites and I'm not totaly sure why...

It certainly has a mixed set of passions to it. At some points I can feel a very rigid emotion, and other times, despite the rhythm (never could spell that word) it turns to a chaotic passion.

 

And both ways it's easy to see that the poem does display feeling - which I think is fundamental to a good poem. I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing bud!

It is clear that you are in control of the rhythm, meter and emotions portrayed in the poem. This creates a pleasing effect

aka I like it : )
