Literature Text

I never could refuse a drop of red
to wash down evenings thick with stress and strife -
I never did believe that love is dead,
but love can never quench my thirst for life.
Warm lips are fine, and roving, needy hands;
there's satisfaction in a single night.
I never cared much, though, for one-night stands,
when hundreds of forevers hover right
beneath your skin. Before the sun appears,
I'll hush your frantic heart and drink your fears.

Babel

I have lost the gift of tongues, or perhaps I never knew how to speak at all. In dreams, I have seen the tower crumbling and felt my throat closed against my fellow humans, my voice crumbling, too, never to be heard again.

The Sadist

The Sadist: I love it most when they scream in pain; Cliched as that might sound. Their tearful pleading exhilarates me; Especially when they are unbound... I adore the feeling of letting them run In the knowledge that they won't get away. I'm afraid that once you enter my lair; You are simply here to stay... My greatest joy is in wresting confessions For in pain they admit to any crime. How many times have they renounced their devils Squealing all the time... A white hot poker, can work such wonders The tightest of tongues will turn to slack. I like to hold it against their flesh; Until it blisters, chars and goes utterly bla

Bringer of the Night

Bringer of the Night: Born from the kiss of a goddess And drenched in the cauldron of lies. He emerged as a being of entropy Bearing the mark of flies... His wings were made from crow-like feathers Black as the dust of the night. His fangs were laden with horrid infection Made from the stone of blight. A single bite, was poison enough And soon they began to change... The children loved by the lady in white Soon they became deranged. Powerful beings of might and magic They soared through the moonlit sky! They flew amongst the twinkling stars But their gift was a burning lie... Falling to the ground like choking insects Crawli

Barely Breathing

Barely Breathing: Are you feeling cold in here, lost perhaps It makes me wonder if you can even hear me Has your mind degraded into a lump of fat Broken by what you've been forced to endure? As I stroke your cheeks it makes me remember The loving shrillness of your frightened shrieks You screamed and screamed until your throat was bloody As I slowly took your limbs from you... Now you dangle helpless on wires and chains An artistic puppet, which is made from flesh No hands or feet to lash out violently No arms or muscles to thrash... The breath that rasps from your broken lips Is the sound that tells me, you are still alive But

Odd times

Things aren't always what they seem Take the dice and shake it twice Come on come on Let life roll to pieces It may seem odd But you are strange Time ticks to the sound of my heart As you wave your goodbyes Forever the sun was in your eyes It may seem odd But you are strange Please take my heart as you take my hand Don't pick the dice up Cause this ain't a gamble Just one blow and we're gone It may seem odd But you are strange Take a wink and a kiss I guess this is goodbye

She Talks With Monsters

This girl never had a fear of monsters. She allowed them to rest on the insides of her eyelids, the crook of her neck, the empty spaces of her chest cavity. She had no fear, there were much scarier things in this world than darkness, clawing at her back. Living for the night she etched her dreams upon the bars of her cage whispering of centuries past because she truly missed the sun, grass on her back. Frosty Decembers have her forgetting what it feels like to love, but she knows who she is— she doesn't need the taste of cigarette ash suffocating her inside her own flesh. November skies tore open this night, ripping a hole i

Raoul's Death

All Christine could do was stand there, watching in horror as her beloved fiancé and demented tutour locked blades. She couldn't live with another grave before her. She just couldn't. In no time, Raoul was at the Phantom's mercy. He pleaded, oh how he pleaded, but to no effect. The Phantom plunged his blade through him, and kept doing it over and over again. Christine could glimpse a river of scarlett spraying on Erik's face. Now it truly was distorted. Every emotion she had felt before left her. She was left limp, pale, dead. Tears, very warm tears, trickled down her cheeks, but she couldn't feel them. She had nothing left to

Something Sinister

A ring around the rosy Let them laugh lightly Pocket full of posies Watch them sleep tightly Something with poison And pleasing to the eye Poppies to make them sleep And sleep until they die Something sinister is stirring Beneath the fragile skin A daisy for lost innocence Scarlet rose for my sin Not once have blossoms healed Not once have petals saved Something sinister is stirring There's lilies on my grave Something sinister is stirring Buried in the ground Dust to dust, and ashes, Ashes, we all fall down

Clipped Wings

It begins slowly As such works of veiled wickedness do So soft and gradual that the perpetrator himself does not even guess At the sheer nauseating extent of his control He starts with the foreplay of caressing words - Insidious whispers slithering across a moonlit pillow Forming a chain around the young girl’s mind Like the tender entwining of his fingers around her slender throat So white, swan-white, in the waning night As he suffocates her with his dominance And so it goes, night after night Day after brittle star-haunted day Manipulative words sliding into seashell ears, gently Tickling her psyche like the feathers of a

I Sat Down to Write...

I sat down to write… when a black kitten entered my room with a catnip mouse that dangled from her mouth from its blue yarn tail which she dropped onto the floor before she gazed at me with doleful yellow eyes and mewled for a game of fetch I sat down to write… when the water stopped its usual flow throughout our household and prompted a trip outside to a dilapidated shed to fiddle with the fuse box for our pump until the gauge showed full pressure once again I sat down to write… when the freezer for the refrigerator kept in our garage

The Cello's Lament

They call me brute. I'm permitted to chant, but they won't let me Sing. They've confused non-agility for inflexibility— my belly enfolds the earth; my throat trills at the stars; my eyes embrace the cays of the sea. I am an omnivore, yet they will only feed me leaves.

Nice! Vampires are one of my favorite magical creatures. This shows a very classic attitude with how the vampire is only concerned with his own pleasure and immortality. (Or her. Could be a her.) The voice has an elegant air to it in contrast the bluntness of what's being conveyed. I also like how you use the comparison of time with the "one-night stands" held up against the "hundreds of forevers."

And no, I did not assume you were speaking from personal experience on this. You are probably safe without the warning in the description. Then again, it is the internet. ^_^

Great work--keep writing!
