Grex Poetry Item 352: The Bloody Anthem
Entered by demonraven0 on Fri Mar 23 22:14:02 UTC 2007:

A Bloody Life,
A Bloody Dagger,
Take this life and make me whole
Rip the flesh,
And tear the strings
Take this body and set me free
Turn it black
And make it sin
Take my soul and make me damned
Rip it out
And break it open
Break my heart
And set me free

demonraven0: do you have a library card? If you do, try hitting the 
library - I think you would like the poetic works of the Symbolism era 
in French poetry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolism_%28arts%29).  

This includes:

Jean Nicholas Arthur Rimbaud
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Rimbaud

Charles Baudelaire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudelaire

Paul Verlaine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Verlaine

Stephane Mallarm

Enjoy.
