Night Poems:
Dark Beauty
Falling
The Great Divide
my Demon
An Offering
zombie
Dark Beauty
You are a dark beauty
Gloaming
A floating reflection
An image cast of perfection
At last here
Rippling, surfacing
For this mere mortal earthling
To worship
As stars blaze to ignite
As pinpoints of white
Cease to be bright
As your blackness fills
Kills
Thrills
The night
Falling
Into the abyss
A cavern endlessness
Filled with emptiness
Lingering, then going down
Sad…sad…das..asd
Words jumbled, meaning tumbled
I am lost, fumbled, crumpled
I can’t be found
Chilled, deep water
Fall, fall, falling
Calling your name
As I forget my own
Floating
Luminous, glowing
Flowing
No longer knowing with skin puffed out
Drowned
The Great Divide
From the depths
From deep, dark down
Dirty and earthen bound
I cry
In this hole
Seeping, yawing
Arms clutching and mauling
Inside
On the edge
Slipping, falling
Creatures crawl, claw, calling
Then hide
Dread omen
A little crow
Cawing out to and fro
He flies
You look up
Far off, up high
Above casting soft light
Stars shine
Open hands
Unable to touch
Unwelcome and unloved
We die
my Demon
a demon lives in me
silently bleeding
unfeeling, unseen
broodingly dark
never free
never leaving
there is a demon
who fills my heart
takes all my energy
tears me apart
until I’m stark
yet unclean
this demon picks my bones
gnawing me down, empty
never alone from the cries
yet alone all the time
frighted and blighted
terrified
Damn you, Demon, be gone!
What did I do so wrong?
To have you by my side
To listen to you
In my mind
Whispering words unkind
Demon, you are blind
You need my body to thrive
You need me but I
Do not need you
Once I’m dead,
What will you do?
Let me turn out the light
Snuff the candle wick
Flick off the switch
On all that’s sick
No, it’s not another trick
So go back to Hell,
You Bitch
An Offering
Can I buy your soul since I don’t have my own?
I don’t want your flesh or your touch
Not even your love
You won’t miss it much until you’ve grown old
Oh, you won’t even care once it’s gone
I can bring you luck, success
With such divine happiness
Glorious lights shining down
Bask as golden chimes ring out
I can bring darkness on those you hate
Make their fates worse than death
Punish them all as they cry to be saved
Take away their hopes; leave them blessed
With the blight of my chilled caress
I can leave you until the end
So you don’t remember, my friend
Ignorance would truly be bliss
Until that final, fateful kiss
Oh yes, I’m sure that I would not be missed
Make up your mind soon
This offer will close
I don’t make it to the old
Only those young enough
Who can give me what I want
Your soul is still so bright
A little bit of light
Left for me to savor
Innocently flavor
Don’t wait too long
Your future could be grand
Untarnished
Here before the wave of my hand
For the price of a song
Remember, you own your soul
Nothing wrong, just let it go
No-one but you and I here
No need for dread or fear
Really, no-one else will ever know
zombie
shooting, shrieking stars of suffering
anguish amidst our angst
we angry apparitions who dance
moving in misery
mercurial motions of the zombie mob
present yet history
rotting and robbed
cohesive absent cognizant thought
crazed easily by carnal delights
fleshy flights of fancy
enthralled, entranced, endless
such frenzied fantasies glut our corrupt minds
while trace memories attract us
with the artifacts of life
plummeting into a bottomless pit
bound by ethereal, eternal night
smiling still as we slide and swirl
hungering for our humanity
incomplete, needing, greeding
feeding
never full
