Chris Hagy Poet Free verse

Death of a Dream

Non existent are the dreams and the hopes
and the lovers
So tear at my flesh and devour my essence
and you will surely choke on my soul!
The trueness of this believer's flesh
will burn in the belly of a demon!
And my dreams will set his eyes on fire
and my hopes will explode inside of him!

So damn the lot of you!
Death is but a dream to me

The fire of my passions 
will blaze the very ground I lay in

The dream refuses the death...
and the dreamer to awaken

Doug Vinson March 22, 2017 at 8:37 PM Roger on that youth. : ) More of such a passion "should be" then, in my opinion, versus later in life. Nay, not that one in any way must then give if up, yet for most of us there are changes, likely a good thing. Chris Hagy March 26, 2017 at 4:08 PM Thanks so much Doug for reading this one...I think it is good for me to have writing as an outlet. I still feel the same fiery passions as when I was younger, but you are right, experience teaches us to better control the flames...just learn to smolder:)

Chris Green October 6, 2016 at 4:24 PM As if it is being commanded from a rock outcropping overlooking the enemy as they flee in fear. This was amazing, I could see this unfold in my mind as I read today. Very dark and powerful. I really enjoyed this Chris. Chris Hagy March 26, 2017 at 4:11 PM Chris...so sorry somehow I missed your reply to this one! And what a wonderful reply!...honestly you get this and I'm so glad to share these writes with the same kind of soul:)

Janice Canerdy August 27, 2016 at 9:09 PM A 7 for this fiery, dramatic piece, Chris! Janice Chris Hagy August 28, 2016 at 2:57 PM Thanks for reading and the high marks...I guess I can be a little dramatic...just where the emotions took me years ago when in I wrote this

Paul Callus August 18, 2016 at 12:28 PM I'm impressed by this emotional outburst, Chris! Strong words, defiant, and resistant. I dare not imagine the fire of your passion! ~ Regards // paul Chris Hagy August 18, 2016 at 6:59 PM Thanks for visiting...this is another write from younger years that were more defiant and resistant...still hate to wake up from a good dream though haha!

Lynn Marie August 18, 2016 at 1:27 AM An impassioned piece, layered with emotion, wonderfully expressed. Quite different from the others I've read..I admire you for your diversity and skill in various genres. Great writing :-) blessings, lynn Chris Hagy August 18, 2016 at 6:57 PM Thanks for reading Lynn...yes there are two sides to this mad emotional poet!...glad you can appreciate both:)

Andrea Dietrich August 17, 2016 at 10:00 PM this is really deep. The style is very nice, Chris. Chris Hagy August 18, 2016 at 6:55 PM Thanks Andrea...another write from younger years when those emotional outbursts spilled onto paper!
