Poetry / the eternal fight

standing on a precipice
 

yet to have fell
 

on one side is heaven
 

on the other is hell
 

flesh wounds seeping
 

from the point of a knife
 

balancing unsteadily
 

on the weapon of life
 

the ancients of past
 

they rest on one knee
 

their cries ring upward
 

“join we. join we”
 

lustful eyes stare
 

thirst proving fierce
 

they long for the soul
 

of the one who is pierced
 

that stands on a precipice
 

yet to have fell
 

to the side of heaven
 

or its counterpart, hell

Wow, you plopped the grand canyon between each line . . . I like it!  That’s a good start I think.  In poetry, so many people fail to do anything with the position of the words/sentences.  

The second line, you should probably change “fell” to fallen.

“Join we. join we”?  I know you’re trying to rhyme here but this doesn’t sound right.  Use the rhyming dictionary to find something else. There is one, online, I swear!

What I’ve mentioned above are about the only things I see that need correcting.  I like the idea of someone standing on a precipice, bleeding, balanced between one end or another.  But the words you’ve chosen in those two sentences are off I think.  

You could probably put more into it, but by using your format you’d take up another three pages :)  Don’t change the format, it works.

I like this, I feel the strong emotion of right and wrong and good and bad from this. I think you need to add some punctuation to this to give it a smoother flow. Good work however. =]
