Posted: 2/9/2005 5:43:23 PM | This for poems a little darker nature. I'll start.
Eternal Night
It was dark and growing very cold,
As the fog crept over the land.
And with it the stench of something old,
A stench I could barely stand.
There was no sound that I could hear,
Except the beating of my heart.
And growing ever stronger, my fear,
Faster my pace, I did start.
I found myself amongst old stones,
Layed out on the ground.
And here and there were scattered bones,
A graveyard, I had found.
Breaking the silence, a terrible roar,
And the sound of a big crash.
With it my heart rate does soar,
As a mausoleum door, outwardly does smash.
With a rush of putrified air,
I now begin to scream.
My body ripped, my bones laid bare,
My blood in the moonlight, does gleam.
The sickening sound of a feast,
I'm strewn about the ground.
I am no longer, to say the least,
Am no longer around.
I now lie there amongst the old stones,
Hidden away, out of sight.
My bones, with the old bones,
In the graveyard of eternal night. | |

Posted: 2/9/2005 6:07:26 PM | Do you WANT to play with Darksides
Do you WANT to play with FEAR?
Do you WANT to come into my mind
To see whats buried there?
For I can give you WARNING
Before you step into the Slime
Its better that you run like Hell
Or you'll be forever MINE
You'll come with me to Alleys
where the Sun has never Shone
You'll come with me to Nightmares
From this world and Beyond
You'll be with me as poison
Trickles through your Veins
Believe me when I say to you
You'll never be the same
So I've given you fair WARNING
Now its all up to YOU
You can either turn away
Or drink the Devils Brew
I'll watch and wait in Silence
For an answer on this Page
While I control my Demons
As in my Soul they RAGE
Sleep Well

Posted: 2/9/2005 6:14:55 PM | Shall we Dance.... Shall we Play or do you think it's time
To see what we can scrape out of the gutters in my mind
We can talk of roses .... and lovers now entwined
But I dont think we'll find them ... In that part of my mind
Dragons old and Knights so bold and Wizards we will find
Songs of Joy and Love of Life are also in my mind
Dancing men and virgin Queens and living by the shore
Battles won and battles lost and heroes by the score
We're starting to dig deeper now.. the rose has lost its smell
There's Lust and Self-delusion and other things as well
Here's Greed and Envy coming now.. emerging from the mud
And Vampire wings and other things that seem to thrive on Blood
Shall we Dance.. Shall we Play Or do you want to share
As from the Darkness way beyond there now emerges FEAR

Darkness
Darkness is mine,
The here and thereafter.
Shadowed for all time,
Like my winged creatures in thier rafters.
The moon in full bloom,
The crisp smell of decay,
Death does here loom,
Waiting for it's day.
All I see here in the dark,
Is my domain, my lair.
The tombstones do mark,
Our inevitability, so beware.
I never want to be the person I once was,
Powerless and full of fear.
I embrace the darkness now because,
It is now, I, whom they fear.
Dead as I may be,
There still might be some light.
This you'll have to accept of me,
Because for me, it just feels right.

Posted: 2/10/2005 9:44:28 AM | Based on a short story I wrote:
My Shadow
My friend as a child,
My Dark companion.
Both gentle and mild,
My personal champion.
My shadow goes with me,
In all that I do.
And at night, like me,
Must go to sleep too.
But with time we move away,
To new friends that are real,
With a maturity that may,
Help with life not so surreal.
Now in these days that remain,
My friends each in turn, die,
Unspeakably and brutally slain,
Each clue pointing to, that it is I.
It had puzzled me so,
Until one lonely night,
It came to let me know,
My shadow-with it's grisly sight.
Then came the law,
With a knock on the door,
The evidence they saw,
In a bloody pile on the floor.
Now on death row,
I wait each night,
It was my shadow, ya know,
Yeah, whatever, right.
Where does my shadow go,
When the lights go out?
Does it lie with me,
Or walk about?
This thing troubles me,
Each night as I pray.
Because of the horrors,
Found by light of day.

Posted: 2/10/2005 8:38:46 PM | Night
How I do love the night,
It brings me such pleaure.
The absense of light,
Is something I treasure.
The feel of the cool air,
With a little whip of the wind,
Take away my despair,
My troubles now rescind.
In the stillness I sit,
With ecstacy as such,
I never want to leave it,
I love it so much.
But there's a missing part,
Of my world of night,
Someone close to my heart,
My maiden, I her knight.
The darkness is best shared,
Where individualism twists and bend.
Two to one souls bared,
In life's journey, to it's end.
So in the darkness I wait,
Peace and serenity console me,
Til I find my soulmate,
To share the nights journey.

Posted: 2/10/2005 8:41:32 PM | The End
Writhing between bone and sinew,
Succulent decay.
In rotting flesh,
The worm, my companion, where I lay.
He moves to the head of the food chain,
And I, now to the rear,
All I accomplished now seems vain,
All that I thought was so dear.
Time, the precious thing that it was,
Has so quickly faded away,
The fuss, the bussle, the buzz,
None of it matters now where I lay.
To do it again, I would,
But differently it would be done,
Doing all that I could,
Making my life more fun.
To live for joy and not sorrow,
Being more gentle and kind,
Building a better tomorrow,
Bringing more piece of mind.
But here I lay in my box cold,
My way laid out so firm,
The way since days of old,
As food for the worm. | |

Are you REALLY SURE about that?

Posted: 2/11/2005 12:04:08 AM | It’s later in the evening as you come back from your run
You’re trying to make better time … but cannot beat the Sun
And Suddenly Voraciously … to mark the end of day
A Swirling mass of Fog slips across the Bay
As you run you see the colours Fading into grey
And normal sounds are muted… seem to go away
You breeze around a corner …. It’s getting really Dark
Everything is different … “Where the Hell’s the Park”
The buildings all around you are Sepulchral and Drear
Into your mind are creeping, the first tendrils of Fear
Headlines from the paper flash into your head
“Beware the Bloody Ripper Or Else You Will Be Dead”
The Muscle strain you had before, and tried to run away
Now Sweeps back with a vengeance to turn your legs to clay
You lean against a post.. ……Just to have a blow
Now you hear the Footsteps Which way do you go?
Just around the corner you see a general store
“Please God Please Be Open” But the lock is on the door
Footsteps coming closer now … Get Away from here
Your Mind is a Miasma .. cluttered up by Fear
Footsteps just behind you .. Always the same pace
You see a Shadow moving but cannot see it’s Face
Suddenly there’s Silence, Footsteps gone without a Trace
In your Heart the first Relief .. You Can Win This Race
Now you’re running without effort, Running t’wards the Light
Running to the Glow appearing from the Night
Running to the Lady who’s standing by her door
Running as you know you’ve never run before
“Now what’s up with you Dearie” She’s saying with a Smile
“Maybe you’re a Runner but you’ve run too many miles”
If you like you can come in while I make a cup of tea”
Not often I get Visitors…. I’d like the company”
And all your cares slip from you … Now it will be all right
As she walks close behind you .. Pulls out her Bloody Knife

Your mind is a never ending mass of creativity, you can always captivate the reader with a simple word, I wish my talent was as strong as yours, I know each person has their own way of expressing thoughts, but yours are just unbelievabel...
always love to read your works...you inspire...
MIND
Quiet nights, silence
no words spoken
but I hear many sounds
Everything coming fast
I try to sort them out
slowly it eases
Confusion, anger, fear
sorrow,yet some
happiness appears
Fantasy, reality
what is what?
how can I tell?
Life becomes good
in my minds
sea of pleasant thoughts
But reality bites
hard and closes
the open door
Mind stop please
let me sleep
hush, hush, hush......
the best I have for dark and brooding, I am a lover..lol

Autumn
Leaves dance gently across the ground,
As children laugh and play.
In it, so much beauty to be found,
On this cool, crisp autumn's day.
The season of summer's end,
When the tree's colors bloom,
The squirrels on thier gathering trend,
Prepare for winters gloom.
The time of spooks, goblins, and such.
And even a day of thanksgiving,
In which we show we're thankful for much,
In the lives we are living.
It's also a season when I ponder,
On the previous year before,
And let my mind slowly wander,
On family, love, and more.
See, it's a season that shows,
That what begins, must end,
And let's us all know,
And that we too, must someday end.

Your flesh I desire,
Something I've longed for,
Burning like fire,
This I can't ignore.
I wait in the shadows,
In excitement I sweat,
My victim, no one knows,
Unitl thier fate met.
I lunge without fear,
Grabbing hold my prey,
They fight for life so dear,
But this is thier last day.
A slice of the knife,
Flowing liquid, red hot,
Begging for their life,
Mercy, I have not.
My desire now filled,
I lick clean, the blade,
Once again I've killed,
What God had made.
I have the power to take,
What was given to you,
As you, for life , claw and rake,
I make you blood spew.
So keep watching your back,
Especially when you're alone,
If your attention does lack,
I'll rip your flesh from it's bone

Posted: 2/12/2005 2:28:45 PM | I actually posted this somewhere else today
But here seems like a Lovely home for it
As Midnight Strikes I will rise from on the mountain crest
Now it is My time to play…. The time I like the best
I’ve watched the Darkness settle…. Uneasy cross the land
Watched the house lights flicker out .. As Sleep now comes to man
I do not go out every night… That would be no Fun
I’ll leave ‘til you’re most relaxed, before I start my run
Now as you’re curling up to sleep … can you begin to Feel
A Tremor in the universe…. The first flicker of Fear
You may be Dreaming Peacefully, of Love and other things
Dreaming of your Wants and Needs, Flash cars and Diamond rings
Dreaming of your lover ….. Who’s lying by your side
Dreaming of the woman … Who’s soon to be your bride
Dreaming of your children …. Protected in their room
Dreaming Lovely dreams … Until I slip out of the Gloom
Sensual as a lover’s kiss… I Ease into your mind
To leave a Hint of Chaos, into your dreams entwined
Suddenly the Lover you were holding in your arms
Turns into a Maggot ….. Oozing out his Charms
The Horse that you were riding on, so wild and fancy-free
Becomes a Drooling Rabid dog, Stalking after thee
The Children you were watching… swimming in the pool
Are Screaming now as Sharks, turn the water into gruel
The car that you were driving in … And having Such a time
Is Stranded with you locked inside .. upon a railway line
For I’m the God of Nightmare… Nightmares bring me Joy
And if the Truth should now be told … You are just my Toys
No darling, There’s nothing hiding under the bed
Just go to sleep …
I’ll turn the light out now ….. Ok | |

Posted: 2/12/2005 4:52:28 PM | Dope dreams full of life
strip clubs w/lots of crank
Girls girls girls doing anything
to get their fix
Come on in and stay a while
Life is good
You're among friends
It will be OK
Somethings not right!
The dope is telling a lie
lye in my veins
Eating my body from the inside
Falling apart I cling to life
Chemical burns come up through my skin
Dope dreams full of death. | |

Posted: 2/12/2005 8:06:17 PM | Well done. Of course not all dark things are necessarily about spooks and such. There dark things we encounter in everyday life. Drugs being one. Good job.
I'm more a spook man-lol. Here it goes.
The Mist
Night breaks, as a mist creeps in from the west,
It glows lightly in several shades of green.
Everyone in the little town of Willow, at rest,
So it’s enemy will never be seen.
Nestled in their beds they dream,
They don’t heart it creeping,
All is at peace, so it seems,
But death has come reaping.
The mist now seeps into every little crack.,
In and under, through and around,
A silent but deadly attack,
It had covered the town.
Into each room the mist does fill,
As with some sort of purpose dark in nature,
Covering it’s prey as they lie still,
Taking advantage of their unprepared stature.
Lungs fill, swell and burst with a bloody spray,
Violently death throes, they choke their last breath,
The mist, in turn, takes each of it’s sleeping prey,
Each soul taken by this creeping death.
Sweet dreams, now gone, the town now still.
The mist recedes into the hills, whence it came,
There it will wait silently for it’s next kill,
At such time, it’ll creep down to do the same.
So when passing near the little, now vacant, town of Willow,
Look around and listen, take special care.
Pay attention to which way the wind does blow.
Because the mist is still out there, somewhere.

OUTCAST
Your partner has left you
You are alone
But it wasn’t your fault it never is
they have been gone for days
you have another drink and sit watching the sun set
Have you ever sat---an outcast
cold and lonely in your room
Watched the dismal spears of darkness
turn the twilight into gloom
You feel the knife twist of despair
cold and clammy in your heart
all the doubts and superstitions
that are tearing you apart
So as the dark grows closer
you argue with you’re fears
This is just the night time
no ghosts or ghoulies here
There are no slimy creatures
emerging from the mud
there’s no such thing as vampires
just drooling for your blood
That shadow near the window
That whisper near the doors
does not mean the werewolf
is sharpening his claws
That single silent scream
You heard it oh so well
Does not mean there’s demons
who’ll drag you down to hell
For this is just the twilight
and as the darkness sets
Gaze inside your nightmares
to see whose blood is let | |

Posted: 2/14/2005 3:11:52 AM | KTARA {Tara}
Incubus--------a name of nightmare
You are a very dynamic successful person.
Imagine that you have been invited to a meeting.
You have been informed that this will be different to any other meeting you have ever attended.
You have been told that after this meeting your
life will have been changed forever
one way or another.
As you enter the room you can feel the latent power
As you realise that everyone else in the room is just like you -----
--brilliant at their work-----highly motivated ---------very successfull
And ruthless when necessary.
A young----- or maybe not so young woman appears as if from no-where---
---glides up to the dais---and speaks.
I am Ktara -------Call me Queen
and we shall speak of what has been
I am Ktara –I am the one
and with the setting of the sun
you’ll understand what has begun
Now listen close to what I say
for this may be your final day
My time down here has come and gone
Tonight I’m leaving for my home
and one of you will replace me
The rest of you are food--- you’ll see
Now as I sit before you here
with emerald eyes and long black hair
my alabaster skin it glows
and on my face no wrinkle shows
Yet Ive seen eons pass me by
watched generations live and die
Ever since the dawn of man
there’s been my spirit and my clan
A slowly ever changing guard
Sometimes replaced---it’s not too hard
To you Atlantis is a dream
To me it was no special thing
Just a boring island nation
I destroyed with satisfaction
You called me Helen----queen of Troy
Achilles was a lovely boy
I used his body -----used it well
Then sent him screaming into hell
As Babel’s tower was climbing high
I was the eagle in the sky
And as the tower came crashing down
I was slowly circling round
For I can change my shape you see
There’s never an escape from me
To Sheba’s queen came Solomon
A truly wise and selfless man
To him and other of your sages
I gave the wisdom of the ages
They never knew---the silly fools
That they were just one of my tools
Your worlds now full of mindless chatter
To you the old gods do not matter
Listen hard to what I have to say
then call upon your god and pray
You’ve heard a heroes dying cry
a babies final lullaby
Alas------- the heroes are no more
So I take the babies by the score
And these pure souls I take with me
to be with through eternity
The rest of you-----you mindless sheep
I feed off you ------your souls I reap
I s’pose you’d say that I’m a ghoul
One look from me I have your soul
What is this sh*t I feel you say
For that is how you think today
You do not have to speak your mind
for I am not one of your kind
I can read your every thought
Tonight---I found the one I’ve sought
The one who will replace me soon
Tonight it is a hunters moon
So as the dark envelops you
You’ll know that what I’ve said is true
I am Ktara---I am the one
Your soul’s now mine----your end has come
Sweet dreams everyone | |
