Priest of the pyre
Castle black; of ashes
Burning on a swamp of fire
withholding self-
And 'em stones and saphire
One fall a thousand feet
Lies in ruin a temple and shire
A Priest rests in grave
Breathing smoke from the pyre
His eyes closed-
Wearing a face of gold
In his wake lies the tomb
Of years young and old
With a tear he awakes
To witness a weather so cold
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Wither and then he aches
With the dread one beholds.
In shadow he awaits
For the need of a blue sky
Morrow might not breed
But the yesterday never dies
He grieves of the martyred
And enemies who pry
The key is painted beyond
And the door is kept nigh
Dark walks through the surface
Falling on this ragged terrain
Wearing a cape of silver
In moon-light it glitters again
As holy clouds eat the stars
Scars tear open for a rain
Written in stone; a tale
That no one but one can claim
Hanging by a cliffs name
A potrait clings to a thread
Gave birth to the wind
When the river took a breath
Now the ancient lies cold
And the mourner dead
Distance that divided
Consumed the steps those led
Castle black; of ashes
Burning on a swamp of fire
withholding self-
And 'em clocks and saphire
Whence the priest is dead
Avenged by the sire
Embers would breathe again
From the tears of the pyre
To forever walk in a circle
Of a fool and a liar
All that is must be gone
And be born again-
From the depth of the pyre

on A way back home from @emogothgirl
"this is interesting. I will admit I didn't like the beginning much, but it definitely grew on me as I read it and the story unraveled. I find it kind of quirky that the meter doesn't always exactly match up; but I think…" -

"Palestine...My Love (Stan's Contest)" by @Rula
"I found it be very raw and marvelous to say the least, the flow is perfect and so is the theme, you drawer me in with your flow and the only problem I had was that I wanted more by the end, a flawless write for me." -

on ma'am, why did Titanic sink? from @Ian.T

"Walking with whom" by @Ian.T
"When I read this write 'epic' came naturally to my mind, the story you weave is magnificent. I like the second version more as it was more in flow but the first version had a more hold on my thoughts. Amazing piece, sir." -

About Me
My name is avi Sharma and I hail from India, I am currently pursuing engineering in computer science. I love writing, not just poems. I like to think of myself as a poet and somewhat a philosopher too, though, i have much to learn. I began writing at a young age to let my emotions out and it is still the major factor of my output. I'm very awkward as a person but very confident as a poet and that's why i created a type of alternate ego for me 'aviisevil' for it lets my words flow more freely. I usually write dark writes and try to make them open to interpretation. I hope to grow as a poet and someday publish my own work.
Location: india, jammu, j&k, IND
