Poem Title:
Poem
You rise above me on your lofty pedestal Cracking your razored whip Ordering my possibilities Leaving your intricate patterns on my back Red lace adorns your masterpiece I chip at the base of your column Choosing for your mighty to fall You are unaware of your teetering Cracks adorn your insignificance Your monument betrays you True power lays waste to your beliefs The bottom always determines what stays on top Look into these eyes See past your own disaster My power resides within my compassion I do not wish to rule your castle Freedom lives beyond your gates I was not born to be your enemy Hate does not flow through these veins Justice shall not be served by my blade You instead scurry to the top of your rubble Impale yourself with rusted sword Fleeing your own salvation You answer your ghosts Delivered by you own injustice No one left to mourn your passing You believed you could go no lower Unaware Hell would embrace you in serpent arms After all you descended from your father A fallen angel has no where else to fall Verlena S. Walker's Slam Round 2 contest.
