Bwahahahahahahaha
Okay,I was w/this poetry club type of thing(sounds *hella* gay,I know)and they were reading this one very long poem that I submitted and...needless to say,they were scared.I'll share some of their comments after I type in the poem(which I,more likely than not,I will get flamed for)
Flames and Shadows
Into the darkest part of the forest,
The time that I've been waiting so long for is finally here.
The moon is at its zenith;
Shadows of faraway flames flicker
Through the crisp dead leaves,
Still clinging to blcak tree limbs
Looming overhead.
Hypnotizing me,lulling me to sleep,
As if to tell me that the task I set out to do
Is not worth the trouble;
Should not be done.
But I urge myself forward;groping through the darkness
As if I was blind
Finding nothing until my hand rested
Upon the cold marble headstone.
I trembled;
The part of me,lost so long ago,
Rests below my feet and the frost.
Buried with him in his coffin,
Dead and gone for years.
Still trembling,I retrieve the needle
From black folds of cloth.
I scratch my skin and let the blood
Soak into the dirt of his grave.
The ground shudders and becomes warm
Beneath my kneeled body.
He is awakened by my offer.
The earth will relinquish his soul
To me until sunrise.
A great roar comes from the land;
I am mesmerized and frozen in awe
As I watch my beloved ascend
From his grave in an other-worldly form,
A ghost.
He takes my hand,his touch
Chilling me to my core.
He embraces me,his frigid lips
On my neck.
We dance to a nocturnal symphony
Under the slowly fading moon.
Nothing else in the world
Could be as sweet as this.
The moon's final silver beams
Bid us farewell
As the golden sun begins to rise.
The rays touch us and he screams
A ghostly morbid scream,
As if burned by fire.
I watch the tears flow from his face
As he melts away,back inot
The soil.
So this means I must say good-bye
Again,I ask him.
He tells me,for now the answer is yes.
But we will be together forever
Soon enough.
He is gone all too quickly
And I can no longer taste
His icy kiss,now there are only
My bitter tears left.
And the shadows of the flames
still flicker off in the distance...
