Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Broken Arrows and Wounded Hearts

Armies of men and arrows
Have conquered nations and great lands
Arrows sweeping through the air to make the living, tumble dead
The dead dance no more

A single wounded heart
Has conquered nations and great lands
A bitter heart worth more than one thousand arrows
One wounded heart shall make all hearts beat no more

Pain kills the soul 
Bitterness kills the heart
Anger is the greatest weapon
Wounded hearts become great warriors

Dark angels’ congregate and sing
When they see a wounded hearts voyage begin
Its journey leading to battles yet fought
Hatred is the flag of the hardened soul

Ah the invasions will come, sadly tiss true
From the darkness and far beyond
I have only simple words of wisdom to say
Wear the armor of love and compassion

I promise you, evil you shall slay

From darkness shall come the light, one day

Lucilla Carrillo August 15, 2014 at 6:16 PM Dark, sad, but good. I do believe that anger can kill. I would have to feel a lot of anger to kill someone. In cold blood I could not do it. I seldom get angry. Many blessings.... Lucilla Lucilla Carrillo August 15, 2014 at 7:11 PM Well, thanks I think you are right, but that is not me. I would just let them go. Arthur Vaso August 15, 2014 at 6:21 PM Thanks Lucilla, Hell hath no fury like woman scorned!!!

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 10, 2014 at 2:08 PM Anger is the greatest weapon..I don't agree... Probably the mediator or stimulus That leads to battle.... The imagery are stunning... Yet I love how you ended it..:) as always Buddy Art..:) Arthur Vaso August 15, 2014 at 6:23 PM Have you not heard "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"? I have seen an angry woman, I rather face an invading army!!! LOL

Diana Burkholder August 7, 2014 at 12:00 PM I have the same problem. Roy told me this happens when cut and pasting from Microsoft Word. The work around, copy into a text file, select all and then paste into this site. Hope that works and boy do I love this poem. Right on! D. Arthur Vaso August 15, 2014 at 6:24 PM Thank you kindly Diana, I think all the formatting issues have been fixed now! Lets hope so!

Casarah Nance August 7, 2014 at 7:49 AM I know, the formatting problems suck, but your poem is still beautiful. How can a topic be so dark and beautiful, it is how you write it, you are a master of the paintbrush my friend, and I enjoy every scene. xox Arthur Vaso August 15, 2014 at 6:25 PM Thanks Casarah, I re posted it fixed now!

Tim Smith August 6, 2014 at 11:46 PM There has been formatting issues for a week...Your rehab director had been notified..... As for the poem.....brilliant.... It is hard to achieve.... Not having a bitter heart after heartache can be accomplished.... I am close to seeking the light....cheers.....
