TenshinoHikari
So many faces stare at me
From their prison frame
Each one has their story
Each one has a name
No one knows who they are now
Nor whom they did meet
Only the dead, anyhow,
And the dead don?t speak
History has forgotten him,
Her beauty now lost in time
Their faces now are very dim,
Kept only in this rhyme.
No page does their story tell
Their person lost in age
To the sickle of death all have fell
Their stories in silence?s cage
Thousand pass just so this way
The same will be for me
Unless forever my name they?ll say
That is immortality
I like the poem overall, but there is
so much that you could improve on! While I was reading, I had to pause at times because the flow wasn't quite right. A few more syllables here, maybe one less there. Your second line for example. Add an adjective/adverb about the frame or the word prison, and it should flow better. "Nor whom they did meet" need another syllable also. I was thinking "Nor whom they once did meet" to give a more past tense feel.
I absolutely adore the third stanza. I love it. It's a major bright spot in the poem. But once again, the flow could have been better. Adding a conjunction would help, I think. Maybe "History has forgotten him/ And her beauty is lost in time" Other than that this stanza is beautifully done.
The fourth stanza is a bit awkward. You sound like you were having trouble with it. The first line can be rearranged/reworded to fit better while still keeping "tell" on the end. "Their person" isn't the best phrase to use in the next line, and it also needs more syllables. "Their selves long lost in age". In the next line, "all have" is really the main bump. And I think the last line can improve with the others, you just need to adjust it after you fix the first three. ^^
"Thousand" should be "thousands". I'm sure that's a typo. Another conjunction can be used to flow into the next line. Ah! I love it. All you need is "For" at the beginning of the last line to make the flow go along, and it'll be perfect!
