The Winter Raven

Trees bare of life, just silhouettes of branches, lost in the gray, pondering whether to stay.

This time of year always leaves me depressed, feelings of inadequacy, I try to keep repressed.

A soft rain starts to fall, adding to my depression's call.

The cry of a raven, heard from a tree, my heart starts to pound, quickly I must flee.

The death of his stare is what I fear, sounds of flapping wings, as he draws near.

Filled with fear, I fall to the ground, a cold chill tells me he is near.

He stands before my eyes, his blackness stares me through, terror cuts to my soul, a hate I never knew.

He transforms to a black shadow, his appearance without a face, so this is what death is, I vanish without a trace.

Started writing poetry officially in 1991, enjoy reading Edgar Allen Poe, reading and dissecting the Holy Bible, and listening to beautiful/inspiring people. Age has no bearing on creativity. Some of the most beautiful things come from those of much lesser age and life experiences. So listen to those young people!

I Am The Darkness

Cracks of moonlight illuminating bruised skin and flesh so polluted it's cast in hues of purple and grey. In the nighttime there's not a whisper. Only silence fills this house.

My Shadow

The slow black shadow. Swallowing my feet. Stalking me. A depressing black. A friend till the end. Or a dark presence. Neither I will ever know. But she leaves me at dark. Leaves to who knows where.

Dreams Of Hell

The hell of screams. Hall of dreams. From breaths of life. Not of the shackles. I await the carnality. Lust and desire. The king reigns and laughs. The devil resides. He burns. To touch in embrace.

I saw the devil last night; His eyes burned deep into my soul. The fires of hell blazed in my cheeks, As he smiled at me, Perfectly.

No More Mirrors.

A shard of a mirror, A piece of a glass, A reflective, smooth surface, I pray this will last. A pale face inside it, The eyes, empty pits, The shadow reflected, Just quietly sits.

WELCOME TO THE DARKSIDE

Savage plains of hatred filling up your sight. Graphic crazy statements filled with so much might. The truth is false your fears are real. I taste your tears I know how you feel.
