The Tomb

Time is serenading a soulless march
September sings mournful, parched tomb
Lies untouched in the bleeding hearts crying out
For redemption and hearing a requiem no doubt

Iniquity without solace, truth waved bye
Long ago and we suffer  and die
As vapid pleonasms offer no comfort
To troubled minds and souls, now come forth

Receive the blessings found in this tomb
Reciprocity of love and truth now looms
Across the sky when you enter here and help
The impecunious muster, give them a hand

Love your brother young man, for this tomb
In its glory and blazing irascible light dooms
Evil's plans of vile treachery, blindsides the
Buried bile of biblical mockery so confided and...
Entombed eternal

"Become who you were born to be, not who you've allowed yourself to become."

Deep thoughts with wisdom and wonderful descriptions. Your summary line I've never seen before and think it is a statement we could all heed.

"blindsides the buried bile of biblical mockery" a great message in a wonderful alliteration, Tim. Your poem wraps itself around that excellent quote at the end. Is that yours? I think when one gets older he finally has it figured out that that line is all important. I know it is for me. Thank you for your encouraging comment Tim. I appreciate it

Tim, this is quite the awesome write! I love all the detail, of which you didn't leave out anything! Degree in English...you definitely qualify for that! No wonder you can write so well...I'm looking to get my bachelors in Web Development, which I will get after this Trimester(I know strange system, wish it was on the semester system)! Then I go to graduate school to get my MBA! Incredible work!!
