Default A Tale Of One So Familiar

A tale of one so familiar

In dark tranquillity, sits the mournful watcher.
A beacon of melancholy, mantled in deaths sheaf.
Amidst a plume of shadow, weeps this bitter slave
Alien in demeanour, of hell he is beneath.

Shackled in a void, beats this fading heart.
A plain of deprivation, congealed in blood and tears.
Morose and numb with grief, he sits a world apart -
From all and every man, bludgeoned by such fears.

Adorned in scars of war, he awaits the bitter end.
Obsolete amidst the smog, archaic bouts of hate.
Of what will greet him in the void, one cannot comprehend
Within the funnels of despair, sits hollow ducts of fate

Manacled in fading hope, as tyrants slowly stir
Incandescent raging spite, the shining spots disperse.
The stinging tail of natures might, this frightened beast incurs
A solemn end to tragic breaths, the last exhale so terse.

Good, but perhaps a few less adjectives, let the image itself be the evocation, we tend to use adjectives as a crutch too often (myself included). Pretty good otherwise.

Stuuu... hmm... I like it and I don't like it. I really like the imagery but like PHAP said, you seem to use it as a crutch and it muddles up the meaning of the piece. You say the same things a couple of times using synonyms... I do it and it bothers me, I was wondering if it bothers you? Each line of a piece is a propellant, supposed to move emotions - a constant flow, an ebb of personal meaning... coming back to an image (through different means) is acceptable, of course - but is it an image you'd like the reader to revisit, and then move on to a new one?
