Dungeons and Dragons

************************************************************************************

To pour lifes words from the chalice into ones soul; thirsting ~

Never be it quenched; living waters, cascading from loves fountain 

Into these eyes; and let not anothers breath, be the vision as of mine...

Carved this knife to slice fervent veins clingling, unto amissful sight; bite

The sepulcher of my throat; spewing black sediment into the sky 

That I may bleed these shadows from my heart; amputating yesterdays

Poisons, amid tomorrows crimsons tongue...

Drain living waters into my soul that I may not bow at the altar 

Of sorrows; casting away loves treasured gifts left strewn in forgotten dust

Carried into the ambient winds of tears; perdition now its conjured home

No, I shall not be left to rot in hades no matter how far it is I may fall...

Interesting work..The first line "To pour life's words from the chalice into ones soul(thirsting never to be quenched)..Life's words is "The Words Of Life" sing them over again to me that Jesus died that we might have life and have it more abundantly or is that speaking of words in general?..Today I was awed at the thought about words in general and how many there are and life is so short and we don't get to learn and use be so few in our own language let alone other languages..Thanks ..Sara

You really know how to use metaphors. Each line is well worded with vivid imaginations. Have a nice day

well theres plenty of vocabulary in that one, you've managed to create an old engligh feel to the poem with it's use. Like the last line, though the link with the title seems a bit tenuous.
