Prompt#11 write a poem using song titles

 Close your eyes to see

The end of the beginning

 Strange terrain

Nowhere to hide

Children of the grave

Hanging on

 O Father O Satan O Sun!

Save my soul

One last time

Prompt#30 the final masquerade.

Today’s the last day of National Poetry Month. I’ve enjoyed it so so much. Today, Cyrus posted this prompt and I have to admit, it’s my absolute favorite poem of all the ones I did this month.

The devil

Puts on her black mask

The twisted horns

Just another detail

To add to this farce

The messiah

Puts on his thorned crown

His gilded mask

Just another example

Of the greatest lie

They meet at the center

While angels and demons dance

In a sea of color

And god watches from his throne

With a smile to him,

The devil bows before the messiah

One last dance, she says

The messiah takes her hand

And so they dance

As they once did

Before god decided to tear heaven apart

They are simply

Two sides of the same coin

Two pawns in a god’s game

Two willing sacrifices to appease him

This is the end, he says

And when he slowly brings her to the finale

All the world stops

The messiah dares to caress her face

Before removing her mask

And all of heaven sees

Lucifer has always been

The most bright and shining star

Prompt#29 the end of the world.

There is a wolf in sheep’s clothing

Speaking honey laced lies

And the doe eyed sheep believe

He will save them all

But after his false peace

Comes devastation

And Death will escape us all

It is the end of the world, they say

The world is always ending, I reply

And it will always begin again

The wolves will drown

Under a bloody moon

And we will rebuild our homes

Over new earth, fire will be our power

Not our doom

And those would be prophets

They will face the fires of our truth

Let the world end,

We’re ready for it.

Prompt#28 word play: question, promise, mask, devour

O fallen prince

Remove your shadow mask

You have fulfilled your promise

And became heaven’s greatest foe

There is no question

The darkness your father

Spoke into your soul

Your perfect light, did not devour
