Dreamscapes Turn Black

Contributed by Black13 on Friday, 30th April 2004 @ 09:13:41 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



The old man sighs wearily, remembering his life.
The past haunts his dreams; bringing back the knife.

Voices still linger, warping his old mind further;
those throats he slashed murmur in his ears, father.

The man he was to them in church, betraying.
The dead show him his future of pain, delaying.

Seeing with pained eyes he plans to amend.
Burning poker, cures said ailment, the dead commend.

Still, their voices itch his ears, taunting him.
Q-tip shoved until eardrums burst, nothing done on a whim.

The dead, they laugh, but he can not hear;
but next they'll do a thing he will fear.

Their rotting flesh caress his own;
they wonder if this he will disown.

Now they grin as he shakily reaches for the knife;
the very one that slowly stole each life.

Knife pressed to his skin accompanied by pathetic wimpers.
Pressure cuts and peels skin back, as pain hits and hampers.

Unprepared to miss the show, his flesh they kiss.
So on he cuts, hopes to escape, every bit their bliss.

Helped from his skin with all visciousness.
Delivered him to hell with pure maliciousness.

Now that's creepy. I gotta hand it to you---a very dark write. I do dark sometimes. No, not coffee. Check out my Evil and Addiction.
A chilling write.

As I was having brunch I happened upon this one and I must tell you I am now throughly nauseaous but impressed. Your piece is very chilling and gross. You and Arden make me definitely want to stay in the sunshine world.
