Captured Soul

CAPTURED SOUL BY A.W.NUTTER Screams play an exciting melody to his ear Trying to escape from the torment and fear Praying for your death, no relief can you see Begging to die so your soul can roam free The beating too severe, your eyes start to cloud Alone and frightened in a darkened shroud A beacon of light suddenly flooding your essence The Lord allows you to be aware of his presence The joy filling your soul cannot be measured Pain and fear gone, prayers had been answered Your hand reaches out to touch the creator Hearing a voice, you can’t stay with the Savior Awakening to the reality of your captors face As broken ribs his calloused fingers trace Tears flow easily, before long they’re streaming Touching the Savior, You must have been dreaming Straining against the bindings salvation erased Searing pain, the soul is forced to embrace Screaming for mercy, a fool to have been praying Tormented forever, there’s no hope of escaping

there's no worse feeling than helplessness but on the flip side of that coin there is no greater feeling than the thought and belief in righteous revenge...those who cause pain will endure pain plentiful

Hi Anthony. Great powerful write. However it has left me a little sad. I was kind of waiting for a happy ending on this one....but i think thats what makes it SO powerful, the fact it doesn't conclude the way your mind would have you perceive. 10/10!

A powerful write Anthony! I like the meter and rhyme yet it has a free verse sense. Intriguing! Your subject matter is intense, as is the writing, I found it captivating! Jeralynn

I think that a lot of rhyming in poems sounds forced but not here, this is a nice poem.
