Gothic - Dark

In the Dark

There are times when I'm inconsolable
when the world around me becomes too much
and my demons come out to feast on me
There are times when I'm hopeless
when I'm too lost to return home
and I don’t respond to your comforting touch

At times, I surround myself with shadows
and let my troubles eat me whole
when your tender words are not enough
when the tides of my heart have shifted
and my soul flows to the dark side

But until I re-waken 
remember, you're still the keeper of my heart
and your tender touch and sweetest smile
are like nectar to my aching mind
So when I am alone in darkness

Let me find comfort in previous lusts
Let me bandage my pain in solitude
and dry my tears from agony -- and peel each layer apart from us...

 I do long for when these shadows disperse
and once again I cherish the smile glistening
across your sweet, tender face, and your comforting embrace

Yet, until then I remain -- in the dark....

My Bitch




She was my bitch, my ride-or-die bitch. My 9 mm clock that I held to my head in desperation. She pressed hard against my temple, while my running blood beat in formation a whirlwind of ideas…making translucent holes, seeping crevices through my skull.

          My head rested on her shaft, my eyes glaring from side to side, confused and trapped to become witness as I struggled to view the safety. But I found no safety with her, it was merely a lost novelty, one I created to trick my mind, trick myself into believing that this Black Bitch wasn’t ready to fire at will…cuz she was --- ready, cocked and calculating my next move…she pretending she wanted to relieve my pain, bring the heat, end my desire for love, for death. Damn, I needed a direct hit to my psyche…and trust, this Bitch wasn’t playing…

          She just let me hold her tight, grip her hand, grave her power, slip my fingers inside her hole which pressed hard against my temple. This 9mm clock wanted revenge she was relentless, every sin driven for payback. She calculated as she assisted me with my task. Her blackness beamed around my face, shadowed my senses and desired absolution.

          My bitch was clever, she was the devil tricken’ me she didn’t exist, yet telling me she wanted nothing less than bloodshed. I couldn’t shake this shit, I wanted a way out, a way to erase the insults, forget the lies, forgive the betrayal, and kill the humiliation.

          So I held on tighter, grippin’ the hard black steel, pressing it closer to my temple; sweat trickling down, blending with my colliding tears…damn…this Bitch wanted everything, my cries wouldn’t do, my screams of rebuke wouldn’t do, she wanted all of me, my life…in ultimate sin.

          And I gave it to her --- gave it, all to her… when I clicked the trigger…

Wraith

 

I lay awake in isolation
in this cold and eerie room
Blinded by anxious grief

As the evening cascades to dusk
the mysterious night envelops me
with sin’s arms that reach out
pulling me into ruthless darkness
trapped in her vicious silence
shrouded with fragrant memories
once so occupied of you…
I swim in an ocean
of unfathomable
stalking shadows
there is no escape, bound
your spirit follows my every footstep
haunted by a clever phantom
I mourn the death of my love.

You live in my dreams
frozen and calculated
disinclined to liberate my soul
sleep ceased seeking refuge
I hear shrills of your laughter
among the midnight whispers;
your image floats in the wind
Breathing a caress over my mind

And teasing my torrid body...

I have mourned you some time ago
reluctantly walked past your grave

Shuddered by the chill, that held my hand
with wilted bouquets and tear-stained face

Being captured in false solace

My will eternally hollowed
I blew a tender kiss
with shielded goodbye
for when you left my heart

You instantly, died.

Wicked: Part I

There are days on end…
I wonder what it would be like - to actually murder someone
No not the adolescent thoughts of killing mayhem
Nor the homicidal threats of vengeance
Not the promises made from scorned lovers…
Not even the idle contemplation of retribution…
Pure unadulterated murder…
The kind the serial killers engage in
The kind that makes the hair on the back of our neck crawl
Or the type where you do it just to see the expression of death
Or abduction murder…where the victim never knew it was coming…
I don’t think you understand me…
You are somewhere between the poem
The poetic meaning and artistic notion
Well, get out of there…
I am speaking authentic
I am, for real; I want to know what it feels like, to kill
What my hand sees, around your neck choking the life out of you
Sounds like, the very gurgling, the wide-eyed pleas
The suffocating sneaks of breath
Breathing against my face, as I bend toward your ashened lips
Feeling for air and watch silently, your eyes widen…darken…
Until your body goes limp and your muscles, retire
And finally, you depart…
And you still think this is just a poem
You are somewhere between the poem
The poetic meaning and the artistic notion
Well, get the fuck out of there…
I am speaking on some sadistic thought
I am serious; I want to know what it feels like, to kill
What my hand looks like, covered in slimy blood
Feels like, the very smell of fresh blood oozing down my arms
The groans beneath my body, as you try to wiggle free
You reaching for object to fight, but I plunder under wound
Into your chest, the floor engulfed w/ gore, your heart pierced
Releasing blood over the room, splashing the walls…
Until your body jerks stiff, your eyes lock-open, still
And finally, you depart…
Do you still think this is just a poem?
Are you, somewhere between the poem
The poetic meaning and the artistic notion
Well, last warning; Get the fuck out of there…
I am planning on doing this murder
I am past thoughts; I need to know what it feels like, to kill
What my hand senses, while amidst the bat smashing your forehead
Sensations running through my mind, hearing cries of pain
The begging me to stop as each hit strikes another blow
You’re extending your arms in protection, as I smash bones
Which crush like splinters and break through your skin
Teeth shatter, unsullied vomit coating my feet…
Brains spilling onto the ground where you will lie, cold
And finally, you depart…

Pool of Blood –

 

Take me – drink of me…

Here I am full of blood not shame

Yet distinct by you not of my word…

I wait the day for your acceptance…

A heart cannot beat without blood

And mine cannot beat without you…

I am adenine

You are thymine

We are -- genetic and defined…

 

I do not stand beside this pool

Nor inside this pool or along this pool…

I do not curse this blood nor denigrate in it…

I am -- the pool of blood –

Crimson and fluid...flowing to reach you…

If only you would allow this transfusion

To penetrate your soul, your every vein would pump

Our blood would shield one another

Our Blood would become as solitary…

Our Blood would erase all your doubt

And magnify into an enticing boil…

Until we are unified and whole…

The two of us a fusion nucleotide

My DNA is written by your fears

As a double helix of chains

Thru your years, presently past…

I am guanine

You are cytosine

We are – genetic and defined…

 

I am this pool of blood

Lay beside this pool

Drink of this pool…

Succumb to this blood

Be made consecrated

In this pool of blood…

I crave to be intertwine and deliver you

Let me be the one to live for you

Breathe for you and make you believe again

My adoration will consume

Our lives, your life

And build a “Paradise” of life…

From all the pain, the fears and the lies

How I show you; a real woman’s walk

How I exist to serve you, our home, our family…

How I represent loyalty for your namesake…

So, embrace all life puts asunder

Permit me to teach you

Our blood makes us stronger…

 

A heart cannot beat without blood

And mine cannot beat without you…

I am adenine

You are thymine

We are -- genetic and defined…

Take me – drink of me…

I do not stand beside this pool

Nor inside this pool or along this pool…

I do not curse this blood nor denigrate in it…

I am -- this pool of blood –

"Why So Serious?"

A cold hard blade
Slips across your skin
My thoughts keep flashing…
My secret, my sin.
A pool of warm blood
Under you from the slash
Your eyes show fear
That I can’t feel…
The slowness of your breath
Pulsates in my hand
As I stab n’ choke…
I neatly wrap up what you said…
The day you cheated
Of what I now had; lost
Yet today your blood taste
Sweet and drips down my lips.
I lick every drop
Lay my head on open chest
Record the moment you went blank
With clichéd, “I’m Sorry”…
and “It was nothing, nothing; why you being like that?”
Now my teeth hold your heart…
I bite and claw at your limp body…
Until the blackness in your eyes.
Shows no sign of life…
And all I can think about…
Is the line from Joker in Batman;
“Why so serious?”…

Fatal Attraction…


For it is so…that in our fatality and immortality — to seek and reside in love…we give ourselves away without discretion even in discreet pleasures…and when we do…it is us who will become enslaved to our desire, our own longing; our own power; our own lust and quilt, and unfaltering need to be taken, sheltered and adored…and thus in itself…our fatality/immortality is not quite wrong, or right, or evil or temptations; nor is it justified or vilified or sanctioned by those who imprisoned us —those who suck the life right out of us…

In our volition…it is our own demise we seek…ultimately…cuz’ the threshold of love; the ferocity of our salacious and noxious contentment in Dominance and Submission is so intoxicating that nothing comes closer to fatal attraction then the love or being in love…and feeling love from those who will display it when thrown in the game of our own passion…and since we are so involved in direction of others and craving of attention and desperately and simultaneously: narcissistic, parasitic, egotistic…& shameless…n’ wanton in victimizing our selves…for the pleasure of those who only came to feed upon us, exploit us…but who is the winner here, the loser… 

The predator or the prey…it is skewed, and only then do we realize; we were not only, predictable, but so, were they…
