A collection of deep/dark poetry... lots of underlying meanings..., but I'm not telling what they are!

Night-face

Oh beautiful the night creeps close
Bringing darkness, bringing both
The shadowed hand... the evil grin
Life flashes over and over again
 
Beckoned by the words of fate
I accept and turn away
Leave behind the world's embrace
In the death of the night-face
 
Enveloped deeply by the mask
Turning down, turning black
The bloodied heart... the final smile
Into Stygian walking mile by mile
 
Through the halls where night-face crept
Nothing else, nothing left
The empty air... the endless sea
In the end... all that is left... is eternity

Into the Dark

Vines grow over her smile
Smother all that once loved
Together light returns to dusk
and life begins to rust
 
Deeper dig into madness
The depths become clearer in the dark
Lower falling into sadness
Create worlds to destroy... have no heart
 
Blood spills onto the mud
Swim now in the life essence
Inside we hold the death blossoms
Behold the sins of our sons
 
Now take this light
and lead the way
Into the dark... where life awaits

Evil Joker

Eat this and feel better
It's the fruit of your desire
All you'll ever want
All that's in your mind
 
Tastes so good
and feels so right
It's the question's greatest answer
It's the meaning of life
 
Warm and wet
It swallows so nice
Not quite so bittersweet
Not quite so unpalatable
 
Until the friendly snake
Reveals his true form
Spit out that demon's trick
Spit out that dog shit

Downward Spiral

Lost
Nowhere to go
Think
Forever to know
 
Struggle
 
Against the wind
Fly hard
Fly fast
No chance to win
Fall hard
Fall fast
 
Ground
 
Hit
No pain... not a thing
Dark
All's gone... into nothing

Sunken Future

The eyes see right through what's left of me
Their kindred stare brings me back to life
I fall into shadow... the deep forboding sea
Remembrance of death shines like a light
 
Panic; attempt the swim to safety you crave
Summon my soul with spires of deadly force
Punctual blood decorates dark dreary waves
Left for dead, among the remains of many scores
 
Keep the love of the brotherhood my friends
Live in the times we had but only hours before
Think not of the terror, the pain, or the end
Save company for those who face the final door
 
Up from beneath, the eyes return to take me away
I do not fear them; I know my time has come
No longer in this living Hell do I wish to stay
As they drag me down, my soul will reach the sun

Beloved's Scorn

Drench me in your secretive ways
I hate to feel dirty and misused
Left to die in the sun's deadly rays
Oh what I would do to cut the fuse
 
Your depressed gospel leads to death
My life should end tonight for your love
Want to cut short my ev'ry breath
That you might feel guilt and look above
 
I only want to be with you
But you leave me to swim in your wake
And sometimes I question mon Dieu
Why did you have to drive that last stake?

Elegy for My Love

A dim light shines where you used to be in my life.
The remembrance of a soul lost and wavering,
Searching, desperately, for anyone or anything to bring solace
To its forsaken, and neglected rotten remains.
 
All I wanted was to make a difference; bring you love.
Time flowed away from us with the rushing rapids,
And we were lost and alone. Nobody else could understand.
You fractured and blew away with the rains.
 
I lost my hold, and you drifted far from reach.
Nothing is left of once was, but everything reminds me of you.
Your voice echoes on the air; your smile ripples on the water.
You are more missed than you ever before knew.
 
My tears will never do your memory justice,
But this elegy will endure beyond my moment in this world.
Please accept it as my last gift; to you with love.
Without you, I am dead. Until we meet again, Adieu.

Biohazard

I'm feeling very sick and very numb
The real me is gone and the new has come
Behold the product of my shattered life...
I lay bleeding; skewered by my own knife
 
Will you lay by my side to comfort me?
I need a guide to reach eternity
Your anger is expected, but not now!
Nothing can measure the pain you allow...
 
Please do not leave me to die here in vain...
I want to escape but this blood will stain
Forgive me quickly before it's too late
Else my blood will drag me down to my fate

The Dying Reverie

Rancid blooms
I fear your calling
Before the falling
Into the endless sea
 
Take me there
To that resting place
Beneath the outer face
Find the eternal me
 
Final cry
Don't hold me back
Must face the coming attack
Sound the Dying Reverie
 
Into darkness
I'll plunge beyond the depths
Await my final breaths
To finally set me free...

Gehenna

Fire and brimstone rain down
upon the eternal pit of despair
as lungs fill with ash
and flesh begins to tear...

Limb from limb-
We are drenched in bloody gore.
God's puppets have left us behind.
Now all shall burn forevermore.

This is the morbid end
which will last for eternity.
An unending torment...
drowning in a bottomless sea.

Alone we will be
in this endless suffering.
As we lie begging for mercy,
nobody will hear our silent screams.

A Wilderness of Grass

Patience can be seen
in between these three blades
where the spider lies waiting
ever watchful over the
invisible trap of his shaping.

Curled up; quiet he seems,
pulling strings taught,
lest the gentle breeze
tear away that which he's caught.

Design* may hold some influence
over the dubious innocence
of this tiny arachnid's plot.

Yet, how quickly his need is thrown away
at the prompt of nature's seed.
Behold, how impressive his dance
before the jaws he shall feed.

Indeed, she is pleased.
Now predator has become prey.

Silence and Darkened Light

I don't want to be here
but here's where I'm gonna be
Living for lies
A life of deceit
Tomorrow may come
and tomorrow will go
I'll be right here
but I want you to know

You can't wash me clean of this
This blood is on my hands (on my hands)
Forever- doomed eternally (eternally)
Dear God just set me free

I cry out but hear no sound
just silence and darkened light
empty breaths
silent night
Tomorrow may come
and tomorrow will go
I'll be right here
but I want you to know

Encaustic

The light that shines on us is
burning and shaping our masks.
Golden- in hues of brown they are
as the forms are etched in wax.

What dignity should transfer to
this finite memorial we leave?
The purpose remains clouded
with certainty of belief.

Some untimely gift should fall
upon each of our lives,
yet it never could relieve
what ailment our souls survive.

These awkward masks remain
to tell the world its tragic path.
Through time they're worn and
faded by the fruits of nature's wrath.

This broken shell of earthen dust
will pass away in time.
To each his mask will fail to come
and none return to find.

Denial

The past is only a realm of memories
A forgotten garden of flowers
Bittersweet scents biting the air...
Beauty has faded and all is hollow

So the blind look to the future
A light at the end of the tunnel
Lost in pursuit of hopes and dreams...
Hoplessly jaded and waiting for tomorrow

~~~~~

Happiness is impossible to find
When your only reality is fear
Maybe life is just a state of mind
But maybe we aren't even here

What many seek is always near
Behind the mirror; under the sigh
All that matters is right now, right here...
So live your life so Death may die
