HorrorsThere where kites cloak frail horizons
And where the heartless shall rise
There's the home to all night's beacons;
These shall make you realize…

The light at the end of the tunnel
Has ceased to exist so long ago.
Downcast hearts in hellish funnels,
Skies that fell on me, down low.

Images of dismal tombs
Filling up my dirty mind.
The dead devouring human wombs;
Answers that I cannot find.

Dirty, you say? The doom's on us
Nightmares disembowel me
Falling to death, falling to lust
Why are you too blind to see?

Horrors, crows, zombies, alike
Empty bodies on death's spike
Howls of darkness they will make
My creations, for G

Dead PassionI am the one
Forever dead.
I hate everything when it comes to this
It rains with blood and hatred.

Crimson thoughts from the same head
Warning you all: run away
Angel on a death bed
I hate you
More than ever.

Sell your soul to the devil
And ally with me.
I will break rules and bones
And eat the night!

I hate you all.

Fear me when you hear me!
Flee me when you see me!
I am dread incarnate!

My passion for lust it is.
My passion for the dead it is
But I love life as it is
I want redemption for hope there is
I long for it.

But I'm still not turned to light to full
Pull the plug, end the pain.
You a

49. StripesWhat is the color of dreams?
What is the meaning of tears?
What are the Stripes flowing through my body?
Those leaving trails of ashes, killing my heart lightly…
What is Time?
What are the Stripes?
What is the Catharsis?
The flying kites?
The Oasis…
Let it be…
They are inside
Then they are me.

Dirty IvoryStrolling out from a
stranger's apartment,
I remembered yesterday's
morning; I
remember the sunrise.

I remember
walking behind the
alleyway in the
mud
rain
sun.
With the gravel beneath
my feet making a
crunching sound, but
not actually
getting crushed.
More like,
getting pushed around like
too many faces in a
crowd.

I remember
warm
orange clouds.

I
remember a
man with a trenchcoat
under one arm.
Lighting a new
cigarette with the ash
of his spent one.
-And the word "silk"
tatooed on his wrinkled
knuckles.

I
remember his
wings, most of
all, his ivory
wings.

Pierce my KissesOn a bed of nails
I try not to kiss you
While I feel my spine seeping
And the puncture wounds
Beneath me.

I comb my hair
To the right side of my face
So when I wake
It shields my eyes
Against the sunlight.

The colour of my wings
Are white,
A tone I would not associate
With myself,
Though I'm assured
It agrees with me
And so I accept it.

The nails come through
My chest
And like a fool
I kiss you.

Empty NightsCold lies the guilt,
The shame of five a.m. stumbling home alone,
Dew drops suspended on arched verdurous leaves,
Muted sunrises burning yelloworangspinks into sleepless retinas,
Bones shaking, tired,
Heart thumpthumpthumping in a hollow chest,
Throat swallowing dry around a thick lump of nausea,
Forgetting but not regretting the shadow of last night.

AshesAshes

Another day passes and on our knees we cry.
On our feet we fight and we die for our beliefs.
Damned hearts rot inside us.
Devastation arose from the ashes of war.

Cities turning into black dust of endless cries of sorrow.
Children cry silently in the arms of their dead mothers.
The sun never again shines over the black earth.
Wars of endless cries have consumed the world.

All those who can fight are now dead on the battlefields.
Young, old the government doesn't care.
Victory is at stake so every one fight.
And death greets them all at equal sorrow misery.

Once the children laughed and now they cry.
They die because of the

59. No Way OutNo, there's no way out
Out of the blue, out of the dark
No, I'll always win
And I'll consume your life's last spark.

For I am the Doom Bringer
The creature of the dark
The Lord of Fiery Lords
Bow and bear the doom's mark.

There's no way out of here, mortal
You are buried deep in mud
You forgot where light is
Here, in the realm of demonhood.

Brave New WorldClose your eyes
To fight the demons in your mind

It's the moment of truth
The moment to live

In this scary
Brave new world

Fight for your rights
And what you believe in

Shake off your fears
It's a moment to fight

Fight the demons inside
Shake off your foes

Fight for everything
In this scary brave new world

No One Else but Us"Prepare for
take off--"
As always I hold my breath
A hundred flights--
and counting
I still prepare for death.

I can smell the bitter grit
Feel the caustic burn
All before I see the smoke

I'll never learn.

Futile. Wasteful. My work.
The machinations of Mars
--Or is it man?--
Have left too many scars

Carelessly
Abandoning life,
How hypocritical
To cause strife.

I brace myself
Finally at coasting height.
Not setting autopilot
I steer within sight

Of the visible columns
Of gray ascending
Boring through the air
Acrid. Unending.

I don't need to lock on
To see the dreaded
My wingmen follow
Where I am headed.

Heedles

A HeartA heart does not have eyes,
so it is blind,

A heart does not have ears,
so it is deaf,

But a heart does have a beat,
and it beats for you, my love.

City of ParisThere's smoke over the city of Paris.

People cry and run,
As the fire and smoke rise higher.

There are flames in the city of Paris.
Children scream for their mothers,
and mothers yell for their children.

There's bloodshed in the city of Paris.

Screams are silenced as gunshots are heard
blood stains the black streets red.

There's gunfire in the city of Paris.

Slaughter and maiming
like nothing man has ever seen.

There's destruction in the city of Paris.

Through smoke and flames,
and bloodshed and gunfire,

there's death in the city of Paris.

Statue In The RainI'm not dead because I'm still breathing,
I'm not dead because I'm finally living.
I'm still here because you always need me,
I won't leave you if you don't leave me.

I'm still here, right where you left me,
The statue in the rain, ready to give you glee.
When you feel sad, you know where to go,
I'm not dead, I'm here for you and I hope you know.

That I'm still here, and always will be for you,
That I'll remain as long as I know you want me to.
That the statue in the rain will always be waiting for you,
Because Jennifer, I love you.

GaspThere was no
life in
danger, but
she pressed her
lips to his

and breathed
into him
all the
same.

Silly me..I told myself

I wouldn't cry

I wouldn't care

Be hurt

Run away

Why am I lying to myself?

It's getting me nowhere

If the true sets us all free

Then why does it lead to greater dispute?

I keep telling myself lies to try to make my life easier

What a silly thing for me to do...

There is no easy way in life

If things happen.. Then I guess there's nothing I can do

Even if those things end up breaking my heart

Black RoseI remember the days where I use to have a bold ego

The days where I loved myself and who I was.

What happened to those days?

Now I'm slowly rotting

My esteem is low

And I care little for myself

I feel misunderstood

People claim they listen to me

But I'm just a melancholy tune to their ears

That goes in one ear and out the other

I feel as if I'm nothing more but a forgotten soul

A soul that lives in a field full of roses

As I weave in and out these fields

I gain more bruises from the effects of the rose's thorns

I wish I could become a flower

A bloomed, strong willed, passionate, courageous black rose.

Something that's differen

FakeIs that even you?

Now you know me?

Now you want to talk to me?

You finally want to be around me?

You want to associate yourself with me?

You want to be seen with me?

You finally want to acknowledge you're my friend?

Who are you again?

Oh sorry I didn't recognize you.

Probably because around others

You're always being fake

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror on the wall, Who's the prettiest of them all?
"Snow White"
But alas she's pale!
Accompanied by seven men!
Surely they're others you can recommend?

Mirror Mirror on the wall, Who's the fairest of them all?
"Snow White"
Alas, This can't be!
Something I wish not to believe!
I shall ask the mirror once more
The answer should be me for sure!

Mirror Mirror on the wall, Who's the sweetest of them all?
"Snow White"
Unbelievable!
This cannot be correct!
This mirror must be broken!
It speaks no truth!
Ugh! That Snow White
She has got to be a ruse

You don't understand, Do you?

Do you know what it means to sacrifice?

To lose everything you gained

Everything you have

But you don't understand that, do you?

You've had it easy most of your life

Leaving you to laugh and poke fun of others

Those who's don't have it as easy as you

Your life may seem "perfect"

But you'll surely see

The true trails of life aren't all so easy

So sit back and enjoy your fun

Then when all hell breaks loose

You'll realize life has begun

My Hero Love

by ~Distant-Skies, Mar 6, 2012, 5:43:39 PM
Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Free Verse

A beautiful being

Bloomed with every handsome feature

Dusting away all of my tears

Defending me from all of my fears

Whose to say you're not my savor?

Filling that hollow void in my heart

I want to be with you, Never apart

Together forever, What a fantastic dream

But in the end, We can never be

Our worlds they differ, they do

Even so, That won't stop me from loving you
