Broken Windows
May 17, 2013
Broken windows in the dark--
Torn apart by lusty needs.
Does the pagan thirst succeed--
Or does it crumble into a used up heap?
Does it glisten like the sun--
Tempting those who have not won?
Where do the dead men go--
On the shores of milky bays,
Or do they scurry through lonely ways?
What becomes of the sharpened knives-
Are they thrown or do they die?
Where does this vicious cycle end--
In a friendly fire or a peaceful land?

Hmmmm. I like it. Nice description! I think you could addmore so it's more clear exactly what human/emotional situations the metaphors are referring to, because they're absolutely fantastic. It's just hard to interpret the other half of them... does that make sense? hahah well nice job anyways :)
