Through A Prism
(Preview)
Lean into me sacred wonder child
with the lineaments becoming of an angel
all the panic and deceit etched in vain
for the waters of innocence to wash away
There have been rumours of bribery
in the heart of the fellowship of man
and the dread promise of metaphysical reprisals
but the true of hear...

Snap
(Preview)
Ice crystallizing blood flow
Veins rupture
Mind screams in agony
Time stops moving.
Barking from the inside
Hearing voices
Telling me to do it,
How splendid the fall
Would be.
Snap.
Reprieve is out there
In here, strangling this
Tormented wretch
Buffoon.
Forgiving is made

The Demon Inside...
(Preview)
The Demon Inside..
The Demon Inside raises his ugly head
Holds me in his unforgiving grip
Invades my thoughts
Obliterating all sense of reason
My fingers clutch at my throbbing temples
As I try to block his cunning moves
He strikes when I least expect it
My final Demon
My nemesis
Will pe...

She Wrote
(Preview)
When you kissed me - I tasted her raspberry gloss from your lips and for a moment, I thought I was kissing her- then I withdrew and looked at you and saw your mask slipping off. I wanted to slap you, but I somehow knew that you would enjoy that so I turned away. Grabbing my shoulder, punch to the jaw who made yo...

When She Weeps
(Preview)
WHEN SHE WEEPS:
Dewdrop falling, midnight colored eyes
No moon to light the springtime skies.
Oft she lays this way in silence
Her soul a tortured form of defiance.
Pretty spirit who had butterfly wings
Once lifted voice, to him shed sing
All the ways her heart had yearned
Candles lit, each...

Struggle

Struggling - minute by minute drawing breath gasping. Meltdown straight to one no going back losing. Sacrificed and yet emptiness yawns black and tepid gone. ©dragonpoe 9/26/07 -- Edited by Lady Poe at 19:57, 2007-09-26

Your Stage
(Preview)
I enter your stage of people
I can't see their faces, but I hear them
Playing my enchanting music of entry
I can see the chairs as they sit in their thrones
Crystal balls for their hand rest
I need to play a skit for you and watch your hatred grow
I never heard your comments
I never saw your eyes light u...

Clear Water
(Preview)
In the clear water I see your future
One who is not ready can't pass here
I can breathe for you, but you must see your own way
Living on means you must pay the toll
The wind brings along all of its glory
Whistling to find its path in my woods again
I just fear that it will pick me up and send me away
One too f...

I need to cry but I haven't tears I try to live I'm swallowed by fear I have so much to offer and give but I simply don't know how to live. Pulse races every time I think of you and I want to cry- spirit trembles, you on my mind I think of you and I want to fly But I am grounded with my head in the clouds. There's this a...

Cracked
Collecting dust
Spilled
A heart of rust
Tattered
Wings no more
Battered
Upon bedroom floor
Teapot
Turned kettle black
Screaming
For hell to take her back
Frightened
Of what hides in light
Terrified
Of what waits at night
Helpless
Little child
Hopeless

Rake your nails across my back Rip into virgin flesh so fine and sweet Feel your way to heaven here - I'm nothing but a pervert's meat. I saw the stars while you stole my need and filled me with the devil's seed And drank you by force until I choked and the last of my will finally broke. Sear me with your ungrat...

I think you've seen this one, Lady Poe...
Oh spectacular oblivion
Wiping the vestiges of understanding
From the whiteboard of my life
Effervescent dreams
Illuminate the black-dark
Turning it livid
My soul burns red

I am but One of many little creatures trapped in your jar of lies. I am but One tiniest little piece to the puzzle of lust you like to play. I am but One if nothing at all at least I know I can be... One of something, even if it's only deceit. dragonpoe 9/15/07 -- Edited by Lady Poe at 15:26, 2007-09-15

Distilled anger infects every pore of my being, festering pustules of venomous and sludge-thick distain Nidorous intent dries up saliva - parched choked and so hard to breathe; Yet suffocating would be far too kind. Stagnant with this fuming umbrage, such memories pool, bitter black and viscous a...

I can't remember if there is a name for this type of poetry, we did something like it at school but can I think of it....nooooooooo!!!
Shadows..
Sunlight flickers, I
Hold my breath
As darkness descends on
Death's stark landscape
Oblivion beckons
What hope is there as
Shadows die...

Wide-Eyed and Sleepless
Heart beats wildly
Resonating
Pulses racing
In the night
Eyes wide open
Filled with terror
Vivid nightmares
Soul takes flight
Tossing, turning
Hands are clenching
Long for morning's
Welcome light

Black Horizon
(Preview)
Do I see you up ahead?
One who has no meaning
The line of hope vanishing before me
Too many mistakes over comes my better side
Only forgiveness shall replenish me
I ask for your forgiveness
Will you take my hand and guide to me to my happiness?
One who can turn blackness into a brightness
Only then...

bitterness swells - a tidal wave
all the tears falling - angels bleeding
crosses burning, my fate my fate!

how to breathe while Hell pulls me
down, ever down
and I can hear the voices calling
telling me Good-Bye.
~Dying~
Gone.
All Gone.
And I remember a memory of...
