Dark Serenade

by Maple Tree   Jun 18, 2012


Deadly mascara dances under the moon, as night time cries,
forbidden behavior goes unnoticed as feverish hands
wipe away another broken whisper of repetitious apologies.

Fire winds burn as scarlet lace travels upon a night
of devilish eyes and schizophrenic demons,
fingers violate as slithering whispers promise pleasure.

Searching for peace and loving grace, I fall under spells of
our magical union, dreaming of romance,
falling endlessly to false illusions of masked shadows,
telling me I'm the fool to believe in happiness.

I, disguise my tortured soul with a smile,
as darkness serenades my withered mind
with one more nightmare to choke on....

    Mascara, dark poems... In two poems that I have read, this sounds like a contest. Pretty awesome, I like reading this one. Everything was so smooth and the finally stroke me.. Another nightmare to choke on. I'm starting to like the use of mascara in more poems. This was really really good.

    It looks like this may be the poem we were asked to write for the contest. I have to say that this is awesome!!! The images are dark and just so vivid and the words you've used are brilliant.

    I think that you had changed the title from what it could have been and I have to say the title fits well into the poem.

    Awesome write hun
