.:Limited Lives:. by ~Kenzie-Rose72:iconKenzie-Rose72:



Trained to fight,
yet born to die.
Hope; it bears
little meaning
for we who shy
from the sun; society
Cursed bodies,
consumed by Thorn
Disposable tools,
faulted products
of man’s own greed
and poisoned ambition.
Even life past the cages
pales, is worthless
for want of more
than a limited life
So now we fight
to find the solution
to glorify friends
who were trained to fight
yet born to die
but shan’t have passed;
in vain.

The Schiff

Wow.

This will be the first time that I've ever tried freeverse poetry.

And I think it turned out okay- for a first try, anyways. It's little more than prose crammed into a more poem-like format, but isn't that pretty much what freeverse is?

I'm not really going to bother explaining the Schiff to people who don't know what they are- it's difficult to explain, and if you ever intend to watch Blood+, it kinda takes away from the mystery of them~

I'm not particularly looking for a critique, but if you feel you must, go ahead.

The Schiff are © to... err... someone who isn't me. Or you.

As a side note, something is screwy with text uploads...

"When you sleep, your body marks the time. Yesterday dies in the dark; tomorrow wakes. Eyes open, you know. The body ages, the hourglass empties, death approaches, time is devoured but not lost."

I don't do poetry, actually... I've done a few quick rhymes, but this is my first free-verse poem... XD I'm really glad that you like it- it means a lot coming from you, because your poetry is really something~ ^^
