[hometext] => Only one use...
[bodytext] => Its so warm Yet so trapped Eying the prey as the cycles run through my head I’ve tasted it before There’s nothing new Only the need for consistency Even though Deep down (and often consuming the surface) I know its only temporary And in this time When I realize this journey is simply a shiny thread That my monkey paws ache for I chance a glance at the rest The overbearing teeth Grinning Not at me But through me to the West Where the setting sun labors away To smother me with darkness And in that blanket of nothing The ch[I]ld that I hate will look unto the holes in the sky And pray for comfort For understanding Till I cull my thoughts and focus the tears back into my skull Retreating to the dungeon and suffocating on the scenes inside A maze of hyperboles sneering at me Till at last my eyelids slide down And I pass out of existence for a time (if... my inner gratuitous masochist doesn’t appear) But I am here And so is the prey Ignorantly playing with my claws As the dried blood underneath gleams murkily in its eyes So innocent So tragic Lighting up with its noises Smiling from a one way love as it tethers itself to me Its almost a shame that it will be dying soon Vomited out of another life Thrown helplessly into a corner Ransacked and blood laden Sobbing till its eyes frenzy into a torrent of cruel despair Fingering the wounds deeper until the lungs collapse Rendering it still Soundless Loveless Lifeless As I shut the door behind me And jostle my way back into the circus Its almost a shame... ...almost [comments] => 2 [counter] => 231 [topic] => 13 [informant] => sicknivesevered [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
