The Ubiquity of Perception

Clarity comes well born to dawn
With an undying, insatiable rage, 
Gone are the times when love was ours 
That permitted a wit to gauge
Free men once said that time based lies
Do marketh and strengthen our faults,
But now, we are, as ever before, the race that designed the vaults
Not now
Not past
Nor never still; a back to laden the burden
The rock that stands erect
Shall be the one that acts as Verdun
Because, all this, will never be, disposed of tranquillity,
The Fall of Rome, the fall of man
Shall waddle in the sea.

Love the bricks, and bricks of perception... Jonathan :), Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
