Father and Son

By Ulfric

Madly burning sight so screwed and twisted
down before his scream erupts in bitter
fury wasted on the shards of rock that
break his fall.

     "Whimper now, but heal over time with
     ragged scars and splinters where thy soul should
     rightly be and thou shall come to know my
     full intent."

"Whore of righteous wrath thy simple act hath
only proven that my claim is thusly
true- that I am he who was the realest
part of thee."

    I've read this over several times and can pick up the angst in it, but I'm getting confused on who's saying what. *chuckle* Maybe I'm trying to read into it too much? :) This seems like a snapshot out of a bigger story. Great job! :) ~L/S.D.

    I'll see if I can edit the poem's formatting to more clearly distinguish the two speakers. This poem's second stanza needs to be updated as well, because the second line is awkward. The poem itself represents Lucifer's critique of the dominion of God.

    Very interesting. You should try short stories - I think they'd suit you well.
