Black Eagle
Author:
Deavon Brooks PM
Personal poem, symbolism somewhat similar to Sylvia Plath's "Daddy". Poem is pretty much self-explanatory. (I don't want to reveal what the meanings of the symbols are.)

Try as I may,

Clarity seems to be

my main priority.

"Give me fuel, give me fire,

give me that which I desire."

This you shall never hear me say.

---------------------------

Green and round,

impressing the thought and the eye,

of gold trimmings.

Hidden inside: A Lifetime

of memories and achievements.

Goals not accomplished.

What is to become of this

emerald?

Beauty, it contains, yet nothing more.

An empty promise,

a vicious friend,

stabbing in the back.

An empty mind,

tired of it all.

Searching for the truth,

yet finding the Oracle

is a myth, a legend.

Caramel crayons, highlights

Lost in that sea of reality.

Psychosis, not pain

is my life, my reality.

Fall into the sky

of gold orbits and treasures.

Bless me for thinking,

Curse me for denying:

I know you not.

Become that emerald, dear friend

So that I may love you once more.

Become, as I cherish you for your

Outermost beauty.

Offend me not.

Tear not the blood stained flag of my heart.

That flag, with that Black Eagle.

I am a Black Eagle,

and the blue and white sea

cannot change that, stop that.

The blue sea is my enemy.

One thing which does not care to know me.

Only banishes me, murders me

Because I am from the family of

Blood Red Flags.

Enter the Modern World,

but hear not of the Secret Cold War

of the Mediterranean.

Blue seas control ships, people.

But I am a Black Eagle

and I fly free from the wrath,

the control of that blue monster.

You cannot control me.

I have the spirit of the Black Eagle,

the mind and the body.

I will fly free: you cannot control me.

A.N: Yay!! My poems are becoming more flow-y and Sylvia Plath-y! (not to mention the deepness: no one in North America knows what I'm talking about.) Currently listening to (motivated by): "Make Me Bad", KoRn. & "Before I Forget", SliPKnoT on LaunchCast, of course. Lots of symbolism in this poem, people (see if you can find the symbols)....it's like an Easter Egg Hunt! P.S. Although I am somewhat hyper, the poem is meant to be angsty. Thanks to all who understand.
