Sky is Crying by ~HarlequinCat:iconHarlequinCat:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Fixed


The fire of the gods sparks this Prometheus
That lurks inside all of us
The need to hold the unattainable
To become that which is indestructible
In the view of the heavenly eyes
Resting inside these crying skies

And we are doomed forever
To fall through this lost heaven
To know our darkest fears
When the sky is crying tears
Of flames to burn away
The prices we must pay

And whilst we barter up our souls
To save us all from cold
The fires rise ever higher
In this our final funeral pyre
As we feel our last thoughts dying
We see the sky is crying

ive found that we can often find metaphors for the modern day in the myths and stories of ancient times :)

Very good. Another poem by you, I see, harlequincat, that I very much enjoyed. I as well found the Greek mythology reference refreshing and appropriate. You may consider, however, to change your spelling of the word "indestructible." It is a mistake that taints the image of a great poem.

Well done!

thanks for pointing that out ^_^, i will change it immediately, i have experimented with misspelling words to devalue the meaning of them, but alas this was not purposeful
