Moving on

a/n: This is fairly old, not too old but old enough for me not to remember if i've posted it before, but here it is anyway, again maybe ~shrugs~

There've been many time
When morals. . .
I'd gladly trade for company
And angels,
Saw me crying. . .
I'd thought I’d had my share of that,
Then the wind howls
The breath of God would bruise me
And I’d see no angels to speak of.
A lovers touch
Has left me, torn yet ready
For mount Olympus. . .
For Osiris in the depths of the darkness
Or for the shades in Hades.
I weep, I cry...
But oh my love I’ll never die.
I am ready for spirits
For vampires,
For those who see the future and
Claim to have lived past lives,
They...who's intellect is encased
In beauty, to endure for so many
Years, an intellect that has all but destroyed
Their heart. I am ready to take this pause
My life has almost stopped
And though i want to carry on i want
To breathe, to breathe in the beauty of the darkness
You left me in.
And for this moment in time and space
I'll rest, I’ll stop and look around...
Scorned,
Torn but moving on.

The use of greek and egyptian myth adds to the poem in an indescribable way. Nice write.

hey...i really enjoyed this piece ...i especially liked the part that went:

To breathe, to breathe in the beauty of the darkness
You left me in.

that part really touched me! great job!

I thought this was simply beautiful. You have used mythology to bring evocative images of survival after heartbreak.
I really enjoyed this.
