Poetry

So I decided to post some poetry that I have written, tell me what you think.

King of the North

Descended from the Kings of the North,
he stands tall.
Regal and pure white are his robes,
Gold crowns his head, and polished silver hangs at his side.

His intense brown eyes hold completed wisdom,
and his shoulders no longer bear burden.
Eternal joy saturates his soul.

Heart and mind purified,
he collapses before his King,
and worships.

Folly

She sits at the door of her house
or stands on the street corner.
Beckons to those who are willing
to come and abandon understanding.

“Stolen water tastes like honey,
and bread eaten under the cover of darkness
is pleasant.”
She calls.

“Take me in,
that I may partake of your
honey and pleasant bread.”
Unwise reply.

Unaware, guests in her house
imprison themselves to death.
Those who descend her steps fall from them,
into the flames of Hell.

~Dustin Dahlberg

-Inspired by Proverbs 9:13-18


Time kills (or Ersilia)
Ersilia.

All life moves on to another existence,
abandoning former possessions.
Worth is lost.

Empty strings intersecting, divide the city.
The town deserted, the buildings rot and soon disappear,
only their shadows remain.

The town square is empty.
Dug into the ground,
it is the city’s shallow grave.
