Long Scarlett Poems

sunlight, or a stake, or a cross—such common things.
Still, late at night, when the bat-like vampire sings,
we heed his voice.

Lady dearest, fair Romeo, is this the name
the title you wish to bestow upon me
or is it one shared among multiple hearts shot at by multiple nets
I ask only in truth, in search of truth,...

From ashes of Sokovia, a twin sister rose,
With powers of chaos and psionic flows,
Wanda they called her, tethered spirit unfurled,
As women before her, she reckoned this world. 

Her pain born of loss, and hurt tragedy,
Fueled...

my attention has been stolen, distracted
but my public
you already know the details
but my public
you already know the stories
yet I call you here...

All I seem to do is press erase
Here are my words, caressing Charlotte in dead space
It's against the rules to say her true name

Leonore was disliked, cast aside and ignored,
her rage increased with bizarre behavior:
why couldn't she be the eternal and idolized Queen?
And envy grew towards the more successful thespians; 
her restlessness to do harm was a demon...

I probably should read more books,

something that will not disappoint,

You wonder
If this state of being
Has brought me
All these sudden gains.

You wonder if my
Battle is pretend
And my willingness
To fight is really in vain.
That I’m vain.

With her soaplike
Drama hand
Stuck to her forehead
Lying in...

Puts me now through this test
Awaken thee in midst of night
Scared at first half a fright

A Vision seen ever so clear
Then a whisper heard upon the ear
Shivers and prickles...

Do not wall yourself
dead within my eyes
as Anarkali was, alive
your silent tomb
as if Orpheus
I glance to seek you
but cruel Hades has
torn you back
to his hateful lair.

fighting demons
into oblivion
do hasten swiftly
into the night!
Oh, wait...
