So you think you understand the flow of time
And believe you've solved the riddle of the rhyme
So you think you know what makes the bell chime
And what separates the right from the crime
Do you know about the demon named fate
Or that your life is the hell he creates
So turn back now before it's too late
I invite you in, beyond my rusted gate
Follow me, so you can see
Let's look deeply in my gallery
Darkness falls, roams the halls
Just hold my hand, you'll understand
Walk this hall of horrors, it's all true
Things of love and beauty are far and few
Traverse this shrine of suicide, all there is to do
Dark murals drag out the evil inside you
Paintings too disturbing to give a second look
Scriptures detailing the hell that he took
Cracks in the floor, where the very foundation shook
In the center, dried with blood, laid the final page of the book
Please accept my invitation to walk within
I welcome you to bear witness to my sin
Follow me, so you can see
Let's look deeply in my gallery
Know why I do what I do
While the marble statue stares right at you
Follow me, so you can see
Maybe tell me why i'm so empty
No door at the end of this tour
This corridor can go on no more

| Cool stuff, I really like this one, especially from around the second half-the first couple of stanzas have a sing-song ryhme about them which is very nice, but I really like the second half when it gets darker+++good stuff+++ |

This is an outstanding acheivement. The rhyme caught my eye, and I found myself glued to the screen until the finish. The way you avoid repetitive stanzas and switch the content within lines is exceedingly compelling to read.
constructive criticism:
Ask me in pm if you actually DO want help--I doubt you'd want it from me.
"Bringing down his golden crown the king did quickly vanish;
Ringing round in simple sounds and laughing at the Spanish."

Oh my this came from deep inside. I was and am so touched by reading this. When something is written from our core whether it be in a letter, a poem whatever it hits me straight in my heart. Your work accomplishes this very well.
I think you have done yet another excellent job of taking me to where you are.

VERY COOL!!
I think I know what this is about. Wanting to tell someone of your hurt, all of your hurt, but you refrain, then regret it later. That's what this poem reminded me of, supressed emotions that you refuse to let go of. VERY COOL!! Keep writing! :) |

MY GOD!!
What did i do wrong to miss this when i was looking through your writes, i must have been blind! this is by far my favorite piece ever written by you, if we are on the same page then this is where the book starts because this is amazing it really is, i love the rhyming it scheme it sings sorrowful silence born of sin to my heart, your choice of words brings emotions and imagery to the gallery that we walk through, please keep writing because we all want to hear(or read) truely amazing...
