The Spirits Inside

By Deviated09

Of the Water and of the Fire.
Of the Earth and of the Air.
We, the eternals of this land,
partake in fervent destruction.

Iron, the will of us all, rusting slowly.
Gold, the lust I must feel, dulled out.
Silk, purity unchanged, torn apart.
Oak, life essence, fading so quickly.

If ye thought we would abade easily,
You were never more wrong than now.
For we are here to stay forevermore,
Unintelligible, cowardice, soulless.

"The masses have corrupted me now.
I feel my life changing unknowingly.
The hate is now unbearable again.
I must release before all is gone."

Before he thought he shouldn't wander,
The boy was forever lost in his rage.
Again, the masses have taken another.
One less innocent spirit inside us all.

I won't even try to guess at the esoteric side of this, but I'm in love with the imagery, I think of a council of blackened gods summoning up flames and ice to smite a world of insanity; the lines seemed to creep, rising with each stanza before culminating with the final. Thanks for posting, Deviated.

I'm touched, and quite enthralled by this.. Many thanks, good sir! That is why I made this account, so that I could share what I have to who ever may need to see it to get that little bit of inspiration or thought that they were looking for. If it helps just one person out in some way, then I know I have done my part. I know I still need a lot of practice and a lot of work on it, but I still have many years to do so.

Wow.... I'm sorry, I'm trying to find somethiing more elegant ad graciful to say to this, but I think 'wow' just about does it. This left me in awe. You weaved these verses so well together. And generally, I like pieces that rhyme, but by God if I'm not absolutley in love with this. This was exquisite. Thank you so much for sharing this, it speaks depths. This piece breathes... it is alive. Brava!!
