Soul to Keep

By andhaka

 Damp mulch under her bare feet

Beneath the shadows on an ivory sheet

She awaited the reaper to take her home

In the heavens her soul to roam

 

Belligerent winds bid her warning

Fog drifting in giving its mourning

Sapphire eyes opened wide

Heaven doors had been denied

 

Satan crawled out of hell

Serenity and faith begun to quell

Echo’s arose from her shriek

The devil had taken her soul to keep

    At the beginning you manage to create in my head the image of a swamp. I don't know if it's there or not. I'd say you feel you belong more to hell than heaven. What would make you feel that, I wonder....

    A lot of things actually make me believe that i'm not fitting for a place filled with angels haha and you're right when i wrote this poem i was going for a swampy / forest like feel. It's really cool that you caught onto that. Thanks for commenting : )
