The end of the beginning ~

[Artemis]

Two worlds sit above our own
Drowning in majestic skies.
One was blue, the other red
Reflecting moods within these eyes.
So close they threatened to melt
One into the other,
Family planets all connected
Daughter, sister mother.

And above them shone two moons
So darkness never fell,
Storm clouds gathered soon enough
Between them all was hell.
Tides affected by a pull
Between all three so strong,
Blood red oceans raining down
A Devils will so strong.

The moons were lost to stormy skies
So darkness found its place.
No more majesty above
Three planets stood disgraced.
Lightening struck between two sisters
Mother turned her back,
A healthy balance drowned that day
The devils wrath was back.

For a thousand days a blood red war
Relentless raged with ire.
Skies of red reflect a burden
worlds spat weapons of fire.
No clearing in the sky will let
The light shine through for long.
Two moons sit lonely, cold and pale
While battle rages strong.

Eventually the devil reigns
His wrath back in to rest.
Crimson storms stop, peace resumes
The planets stood the test.
From all their scars they’d grown apart
they cooled now from a distance,
A peaceful universe created
Space for their own existence.

The devil lurked with evil son
Just ready to intervene,
Man was born to take Earths beauty
Make her surface unclean.
Hatred grew along with greed
The devil feeding war.
Soon man made his own demise
The worlds alone once more.

Wow. Such a roller coaster of a poem, Kerry! *takes a breath*

This seems to have may layers with their own moods, each giving way to another, perhaps a number of times. Maybe it's just my Christmas tribulations talking, but I can't help but think of family when I read parts of this. Parents and children. But I think that's just my own clouded perspective.

Whatever the case, you sure know how to create a ride!

Amazing story telling Kerry, you really pull the reader in with the depth of your words and the supremecy of the characters each a sorrowful victim of the heart and mind. Deeply moving it reminded me of Cain and Able and how they could not see eye to eye and how the world and humanity suffered for such sorrow. Just excellent poetry my friend [green]Exalt[/green] xx

Great story-telling, Kerry. Mm, I could relate to much of it, and yet don't blame any devil except the demons that we all create. This felt as though you wrote it to expel these negative emotions and, if so, you did that well. Due a re-read! H x
