Where Will You Go

Where will you go?
When the lights go out
When it begins to snow
And the frost bites your snout
What will you do?
When the wolf howls outside
When he stands staring at you
With luminescent eyes that hide
All thoughts and emotions
What is he thinking?
What are his notions?
Are his thoughts of harming?
Maybe its your imagination
Coming back for its revenge
For your seeking false salvation
It now seeks to avenge
Everything you have done wrong
Under an ancient magna carta
Now its finally come along
to deliver your ancient karma

Method in the Madness

Trapped inside eternal emptiness,
Disdain poisons her ruby lips.
Madness is the cure for loneliness,
And her fragile heart, it rips.

Cured by the ticking of softened emotions,
She breaks through the cycle of fate.
No longer plagued by these daily devotions,
Twisted and surrounded by thoughtful hate.

Crawling away from this torture now,
She knew that she'd be free somehow.

Destruction of Innocents
by Patience

Psychotic laughter
Saddles the minds
Of innocents
Once so cherished
So kind, so sweet
The scent of madness
Overwhelms
Arousing mind's eye
To sounds of chaos
Youth dissolves
In liquid dreams
A fallen hope
Destructions beauty

Freedom,
(this is more mysterious, and if you don't accept it its fine)

Wave after wave
crashes upon the shore

and slowly creeps up
to tickle my toes

My feet sink into
the damp sand, soft

and wave by wave,
soon I'll be under

I take a step or two
And the brisk salty water

is up to my shoulders/
I'm losing sight of the shore

Good. Soon I'll be gone
My toes lift off the bottom

And now they flutter
And my arms,

They make small circles
I'm lost now. with nothing to see

Nobody to find me
And as I slip under

I only have one thing on my mind:
FREEDOM

This is the sequel to the Thirsty one I submitted on the late contest :P

Quenched

His gaze bore down on me
As a lay in the dirt
If only he could see
What lay in my heart

I loved this monster
not for what he was
But for how he expressed his forgotten feelings
How he loved

"Don't you remember us
Don't you remeber before your thirst
quenched you so"

"It's your time to die"
That struck me down
this was not him
It was someone else

I stood and prepared myself to go
to heaven or hell whichever it would
I looked him in the eyes
and he looked back

His eyes didn't falter and he lunged forward
to quick for the untrained eye
A pain began on my shoulder and blood began to pour
It clouded my vision

And the last thing I say were the
Autumn leaves, dancing above my head.

"Leaving a Letter"

Rip the paper out the book
grab a pen and take a look
make sure no one sees me now
I must write this, must write somehow

start with a greeting to all who are near
writing and trying not to shed any tears
writing of memories hidden deep inside
telling them just why I always wanted to hide

finishing with goodbyes and a tender loving kiss
to all those near and dear I will sorely miss
fold it and write on the front, "to anyone who cares"
leave it there, I walk away. We'll see just who dares

grabbing the rope, i start hanging it high
since no one is here, I can finally cry
tie it in a knot, check it once, check it twice
everyone thinks I always happy, super nice

slipping my head in, feet tiptoe on the chair
just one kick and I'll no longer be there
all it will take it just one push, no more
I am gone now, waiting behind that white door

my lifeless body swings this way and that
chair has fallen over, right next to the cat
some people are coming, I can hear them right now
door slowly opens, they begin to all howl

they take my body and put it away
they grab the letter and read it and say
"Why did she do it? Why did she die?"
that is something that I only know why

they cry as my body is buried deep down
they turn to each other, they all start to frown
now I am gone, I am no longer there
that is just something they'll have to bear

So I am sorry, so sorry, that it all came to this
and now my presence you'll gravely miss
but now I am somewhere where I can be free
somewhere where I can be me, happily.

Blackness Reigns

by DarkSpirit

The numbers are just piles of ashes
mislaid within black revolutions;
visions collide inside the mind building paths
of mixed art,
there, where the blackness reigns.

Torches swallowed hypocrisy
while the heart of darkness spilled tinted blood
to flow through the veins, searching
for risen life,
there, where the blackness reigns.

Molecules of contingency recolored with ink
ravaged handbooks,
engulfing letters of the bible on their way...
... and the stars fall into the cried oceans,
there, where the blackness reigns.

His eyes are just an illusion of presence
-- in the microworld titans crawl across the sky --
satisfying the passion transmitted through
luminous fields within the brain,
there, where the blackness reigns.

Kingdom placed on the palm posses never-ending dawn
and the twilight is just another form of beauty;
obscurity stares at the feast of magpies before it
-- actually sitting inside of its palace--
there, where the blackness reigns.

The world is split in half;
nightmarish, infiltrating harbor of corpses
is just obtrusive suburb
of celestial mimics that formed
dimensions where the blackness reigns.

Infernal Sacrilege

by NyellMoonlight

Lust colors nights plunged in blackened blood
as misanthropy sketches wandering carnival,
soaking paintbrushes with passionate imagination-
devil's marks drew open wounds over daydreams.

His hands ravage these asylums, brick by brick
whispering tempting pain, whispering delusions-
whispering silhouettes whisper within madman's eyes-
whispers of soft, silky, whispering silence.

Deplore silent delirium of my somber meditations-
Lucifer's infernal magic crawls down sheets of coy,
embracing my body as it gives away confessions;
whispered screams metamorphose into screaming whispers.

Shadows dance swirling and spinning, mutating
into heart- eating beasts crowned with liquid anticipation
inside of this kingdom locked for mortal strokes,
sealed with bloody kisses and crimson sacraments.

Dark Memories

The voices in his head
screaming towards an end
the end of a dark life
a good man, he has to pretend

...

the rumours about a man
a man with no soul or heart
they all lead to one conclusion
he has played his last card

sorrow and pain are the only two words he knows
a new beginning he do nor dare
and one thing is for sure
if suicide, no one will care

but were the past so dark? he wonders
was he really that bad a man
he can't understand it
though he smashed his wife with a can

he had also children
but did they feel a thing?
we know the dog was hungry
our everybody's "King"

the red color he admires
he sees it as a god
a god of giant beauty
the family was only a start

one of his best friend
the one he cared the most
stabbed him with a dagger
and now sees him as a ghost

no tears he left for any
it wasn't in his mind
that they might have suffered
back then his moral was blind

...

He really didn't do it
the act was only an illusion
of what the future might bring
and that brings us in to a conclusion

that every human being
all guilty in the same
for deadly inner thoughts
we can all each other blame

Submission

The chill spreads throughout my body,
his fingers are crawling up my side,
tracing dark circles in my scarred skin,
like spiders as they move higher, leaving nowhere left to hide.

I think I must be melting into the pleasure of his hands,
a drug echoing throughout my tortured shell, a new game to play,
numbing the pain and slowing the tears,
giving me blissful heaven instead of hell, a thread starting to fray.

His touch starts to grow faster, more urgent,
trailing purple lines of fire through my mind,
I gasp, the flames flowing into my throat and lungs,
my skin burning, our bodies entwined.

Whispers come hazily through my ears,
poison slowly feeding acid flame,
the pain returning much too strongly,
my sanity twisting, never to be the same.

I try to fight his darkness,
as it overcomes my tongue,
slowing my ravaged thoughts and brain,
yet I wait eagerly for what I am to become.

A snarl, a roar, a scream of pain, escaping from my mouth,
my charred body changing from its ugly, human shape,
a animal hunger born from the relentless tears that were inside,
from this creature breaking out, I know there's no escape.

The wind laments, saddened by the choking smell of death,
but it only fuels the red, and I'm tearing at my own flesh,
his eyes are flashing wildly as they brim with alien light,
looking at his hands and mine, I'm surprised to see them mesh.

A dance begins, a ceremony,
in the flickering of the heat,
my blood spurting to the blackened ground,
and we both stop so we can eat.

I drink it in, this elixir of life,
it's essence soothing to my sores,
the cuts on my wrist burning but I just lick them in dismay,
this hunger to consume myself, filling my burning core.

His teeth are sharp, so beautiful, as they reach for my bare neck,
and my mouth looks longingly for his, plunging into fiery vein,
I drink, saturating myself with this new color, as he does the same to me,
like butterflies, or tigers, creatures never to be tamed.

I think, I must be melting, into the pleasure of his fangs,
a drug shattering my brain as I slowly fall away,
surrendering to bliss, forever, the gorgeous darkness of his eyes,
my hands entwined with his...the thread already starting to decay.

You Can't Hide

It's time to run
You are haunted
You are cursed.

You run as fast as you can
It's following you everywhere you go
It's getting closer.

You try to hide
Crawl away as far as you can
Hoping it won't find you.

Hiding in the deepest place of your soul
But deep inside, you know you can't hide
You can't hide from yourself.

Haunted by the thoughts you're guilty
You're a murderer and you know it
You can't deny what you are.

That dark, silent night
Silent until the scream your victim made
You've killed someone that night, you are cursed.

You can't set this right
It's too late, you had your chance
It was your only one.

You've waste it and you know it
It's your life, this is who you've become
By taking that life you set your path.

Haunted by guilt
You must keep your emotions under control
Follow your orders.

There's no way back
It's your own chosen destiny...
The life of an assassin.
