An angel brought the kiss of death
With the scent of decay heavy on her breath
Hair strands like razor blades
Cutting deep into my flesh I began to fade
Heart palpitations made me panic
As the illusions in her eyes made me manic
The curse of her black magic
Brings death and despair so tragic
Her lips are carmine red
Painted with the blood of the dead
I could have set her on fire
But I'm a slave to my own desire
Her claws dig into my chest bringing pain
Covering the floor in sin and stain
Our muffled breaths are brawling
As my will to live keeps falling
Brought down to my knees
Broken and beaten I plead...please
But an angel brought the kiss of death
With the scent of decay heavy on her breath
Horse Trainer Frank Hayes
lived a mere eight thousand days.
Though he won the race,
Death’s Sweet Kiss was ‘pon his face.
He loved me til the end
And called me friend.
For 30 pieces of silver,
I plotted his death.
He put water in a basin,
And lovingly washed my feet.
I chose to take my life
After betraying him with a kiss.
The Kiss of Death
The Kiss is still ringing
On in my head.
To end up with darkness
Chained to my bed.
The sunset flickers over
Closed curtains.
The world reflected by green, tinted light.
The darkness spreads its wings
Over everything out there and in here.
, it’s another poem about Death.
Just as I thought I was catching my breath-
From when you crashed into me and took all of
My sin.
And now there’s nothing left inside.
To come and take me now that I’m off in my dance and heart.
Hoping with all my breath that she’ll be outstanding.
, it’s another poem about Death.
Another poem held close to my chest.
As I leap from my bed and pull back my chains,
Screaming, crying.
My chains finally break and I feel their release.
But deep down, the kiss still rings.
Because you can’t have summer without the rain.
And I am the rain but I am the sun.
Which will you get from me?
The bittersweet tea from Death lasts forever-
The kiss still rings.
To end up with me,
Escaping my bed.
The trouble with us
starts with the beer in your hand
nothing here for me
but the kiss of death
that clings to your beer stained lips
opening the door for me
so go ahead- and
drink one for me- go ahead
I'll close the door behind me
Carve in mind the fate,
Collude with the enemy,
Is a kiss of death.
We'll dread
If we're on our deathbed
We'll cry
For we're going to die
That sin
It's a turmoil within
So pale
To feel so very frail
In hours
I'll give you a flower
Suppose
I'll give you a red rose
Last breath
So taste the kiss of death

A KISS OF DEATH
I sensed isolation
I felt botherd, broken and ablazed
I know I'm too far away
Into the darkened route of blank moon
Into a negative stream of sentiment
In an off-circle somewhere in forever land
I was;
Deepened deeply with sharpened tongues of deceit
Dropping off tears of flaming tongs
Dawn too caugth me deep in darkness
And in silence I raised my head up
and whispered a roar at the stars above
Why me?
I raised a bottle of sweet poisoned wine to absorb and to taste a kiss of death
But yet, a voice so swift and tender
So juicy and slowly
Thwarted my attention as she said;
"Dear child it's not too late to make a change, life goes on even without your former, wipe your tears and re-join the circle round, remake yourself, turn your local into the modern you want."

The kiss of Death is sure to be enticing
Filling up confused humans
With powerful orgasms
As to cause them
A change of existence!
For that kiss have I been waiting for
Dreaming and fantasising about it
As would a princess totally
In love with its charms,
Wanting to feel the comfort
Of the freedom that lie
Between its arms,
As if,
It were the prince capable
Of saving me from my own shadows!
Death, made to look ugly
And gruesome,
Reveals himself as a handsome
Young man with unruly hair
And shiny eyes
Easily seducing me
With his charismatic smile
And the depth of his longing for me!
Contrarily to humans, shall he say to me
I'll fight for you
I'll grope you and pull you
Closer and closer to me
In a tight bond of amorous submission
As
You belong to me!
Then he'll drown me with his kiss
And I'll succumb to him
Through a rebirth in another
Unwanted existence on Earth,
Yearning for when my soul
Would, once more,
Feel the orgasmic euphoria
Of being lost in his essence!
She comes on sunset colors,
Rocking in his head.
A dark and shimmering shadow
Like lace across his bed.
Beside the narrow window
The night takes up her form.
She takes his hand and beckons him
To ride the coming storm.
Frosty fingers touch his arm;
Her words a woman’s lies.
He looks into her smiling face
And knows he’s going to die.
She steps back through the window,
The stars their courses stopped.
His fate is fixed, she calls his name.
He leaps and drops the fatal drop.
The gathered crowd made judgment fast,
As sun poured light across the sky,
They saw loves smile upon his lips
But called it suicide.
A poisoned mind..
Venom poured and trickled through..
Wounded by rituals thrust upon me.
Intoxication of your madness..
Betrayed effortlessly..
A deceitful cunning environment..
Contagious disease of insanity..
Lies along with false pretenses..
As you claim an undying love
For you use love in the name of fear..
Usage of fear mongering a constant routine
A predator you are..
Stalking on it's prey..
I am your prey
Not your undying love..
A venomous snake spreads toxins..
Underhandedly..
You swam under water..
I swam above water..
Above and beyond..
You had given me the kiss of death..
I had turned away..
Whole heartedly..
As I breathe the breath of life..
The breath of life I am..
KISS OF DEATH
full-bodied wine
felicitous lipstick
smile glistens in goblet
gregarious sips
~
rogue wave
of purple grape
plenipotentiary drink
steals Juliet’s kiss

Rick Parise’s 8 Line Poem Contest
Theme: Death
Yesterday, I soared with the wind
Today, death and I dance entwined in a slow waltz
Somber mood as bright lights shine above
Wagner in the background of semi-consciousness
Looking up at tubes, needles, wires and the reaper
Faces staring down, heads shaking in doubtful sadness
Onwards we roll, battle of the bacterium
Ensuring, I, wake only in hazy delirium
I reach out into emptiness
Grasping for the significance of it all
Falling into an existential black hole
Loveless, alone, is this to be my last stroll
Illusions and dreams creeping back into my soul
Hearing songbirds, will life have another go?
The winds roar once more inside my head
I stand up, with a smile, I am alive! Not dead!
Life has infected me with a fresh kiss
KISS OF DEATH
I am the kiss of death
You can’t resist me
I steal upon you in the night
No one can save you
Deep in the shadows
That no mortal can know
I am fate, I am death
You can’t hide from me
I know all the hidden places
I know all the hidden secrets
Nothing is safe from me
From your dreams
Nothing is hidden from my mind
I parted my lips to let you in
Could feel the blood leave from my
skin
No matter how hard I try to fight
you off
I seem to get loss
I feel like a empty cup after the
straw drains
This is smothering pain
You're taking all my air away
This is too much for me to take
I felt for your evil charms
Now, I have died in your arms
No more breath
This was the kiss of death
