Requiem Date: Tuesday, 3rd June 2008 @ 12:44:16 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: ingeniusidiot Breathe into the lungs of the lifeless so that they may live With air and blood to fuel conscious thoughts From grave to cobblestone rising to walk again Praise to the dead to grace the living For it is by the blood of the dead that the living survive. Upon the wings of the dead the living soul takes flight Which while its short stay upon the winds of Purgatory The breeze makes up the thread of this web of lies by which it is bound But what once was praise has turned into a prayer for escape As Heaven and Hell collide The dead shall remain among the dead Which in due time the living shall soon enough join them The battle for the unsaved soul shall be extinguished And a great void shall once again separate the two great eternities The nightmare of life is now over 2008 This poem is Copyright © ingeniusidiot Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
