Premium Member A Murder of Crows

a murder of crows
gathering in the gloaming,
swarming o'er gravestones...
denigrating the deceased?
or a macabre mourning?

I walk through my rooms
taking notice of my stuff
I search for the energy  and memories

When on the road met
All things halt
For in thy face is death divine

Monster Writes in Nigh

The rot of humanity's shadow is not in the ink, 
but in the darkness that fuels the pen,
gruesome daggers, dripping honeyed poison.

Warped Soul

In my chemically imbalanced mind,
All I can do is detest.
Wandering my dismal world of the blind,
Anxious of what’ll transpire next.

Breathing in acid rain, 
seeing red,
wrath burns through translucent veins, 
heartbeat rattles against a jilted sternum.

Finally they met,
He and his healing masters
With best of their sounds,
Echoing his soul through songs,
His heart finally found peace.

We grow old, but never grow up,
neither in this nor another life;
we are just ghosts with heartbeats,
simply unaware that we were here.

She smiles as bride of gloom
Gothic style floats her balloon 
Young and eccentric 
Taste was accented
Black roses tattoo on the groom

Premium Member Once Bitten

I was bitten
I don’t know when,
I didn’t feel it, then
came the change~
awake all night; asleep all day,
even the moon would not say why.

When you see the snow think of me 
Where the trees die thats where Ill be 
Cloaked in darkness so no one can see 
All this pain inside of me

Shad Coll 
It’s about collecting shadows
The woman’s dad died
She gained another shadow
It descended upon her
Dark cloud cliché
One of many

Fixed

With fast fingers they painted
Until they trusted my vision tainted.
And the sky will split when the colors peel.
I will shed the blue I feel.

Scarlet Lady

A scarlet madam, 
she crashed down from on high. 
Anger cursed her veins, 
and the path she roamed upon this earth 
was that of a woman scorned
