I smiled - A poem inspired by the poem in the movie - The grey.

The Image -








The Poem -


I smiled.

Blood salivating,
In warm trickles,
A mellow taste,
For life’s chaste.

Nails christening,
Each swing crimson.
Those taken red,
Those delivered redder,


I smiled.

Cut lips, waxing blunt.
Wild eyes, waning sharp.
Begotten and forgotten,
Causes and clauses.

Prey and predator,
Praying for the coin tossed.
Heads, he dies,
Tails, he dies.


I smiled.


 Author's note -

I just saw the movie -  The grey and was inspired by the untitled poem that is portrayed in it. The exact lines of the poem are

Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I'll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day.


I wanted to capture the same die hard essence in my own words.

    @ numerounity --

    thanks a lot.

    well, I had this one post- the thread where I got spammed so heavily(like more than 20 comments) and it got so bad that, I turned it on- to avoid such spam in comments.

    Will take it down and see the result for a while. :)

    @ Bikramjit --

    hmhm... Thanks a lot. And I am guessing that you are talking about the climax of the film when you are mentioning, -- she dies.

    I am glad i can whet you taste buds with this poem. :)

    Cheers.
