All of the poems, are about death, so not everyone would be up to reading them, i wasn't going to post them until i was told that they were actually good.


Death,


it's the secret that hides in the shadows
waiting to pounce on its prey,
claiming everything that represents its opposite ---
life
it lurks in the darkness waiting for the perfect time
to claim its victim,
right when the prey least expects it ---
gone,
death leaving nothing behind but a silent corpse
that never knew what was just out of its sight,
in the darkness.

Death II


Not everyone is so lax about death,
some are able to escape its first pounce,
like the swift gazelle
allowing them to live,
temporarily,
for death will claim all in its path,
anyone and anything;
human, animal, plant
not giving a second thought to what it is taking from the world
This is another attribute that death has
Completely amazing impartiality.


Death III


For death is the most stubborn thing ever known to man
man has been trying to escape death's grasp for centuries,
inspiring great stories of the fountain of youth
and inspiring man to take matters into his own hands,
medicine wasn't developed for nothing,
so called "life savers" have their purpose,
serving as the scapegoat for the weary gazelle,
the one that wouldn't wait for death to take them away,
but man himself is too blind to see such things,
and those who have seen,
plan to become "immortal" living in his legacy,
living forever through stories,
but where are these men?
You see?
Death never loses.


Death IV


Death has only lost once,
but even then, it seemingly won,
but powers greater than its own were able to prevail,
allowing life to be reborn into a victim of death
something unfathomable by many men among this Earth
the one thing that death lost to,
will cause death to lose everything – ultimately
for the one who survived the hands of death,
will show up one day just like death
that day, death will die.


Death V


You see, death wasn't always a bad thing
death itself was once on the side that will defeat it,
but death's stubbornness lead him to be cast away
from his former glory,
but he wasn't the only one, for he had his own set of followers,
the demons,
death's messengers and care takers
you see?
Death once lived in heaven,
but death wasn't death then
death was a messenger for his future conqueror,
but his stubbornness forced him to be thrown to Earth
along with his demons,
you see?
Death and evil are intertwined.

Not to be harsh here, but just what does the '92' in your screen name signify? I first thought maybe your graduation year, but now I'm convinced it is your birth year.

That would make you pretty much of a middle-schooler wouldn't it? Assuming, of course, that you're in the U.S.

So, here's the deal. You get to choose my answer.

Option A. Birth Year. You show talent and should be encouraged. Show these to a teacher, preferably one who teaches advanced comp/creative writing. Get some good, hands-on constructive criticism, follow the advice, choose subjects you are familiar with, and write, write, write, write, and write, write, write some more.

Rest. Then repeat. Someday you might put out something without having to resort to a screen name.

Option B. Graduation Year. Keep writing like this with an expectation of being taken seriously, and forget the advice to stick to subjects you know -- at least career-wise, you'll know 'death.'

Death is not necessarily bad, but lovers of life necessarily perceive their capacity to die as their worst vulnerability, and see death as the invincible enemy of the life which they value, and thus they view death as evil.
