December Death

Another day, another decay
another scream within this shell,
another ember of emptiness
another weep within this hell...
tomorrow, I shall rise once more
to find that joy's a padlocked door
and see my dreams dissapear
in the pain of another year,
the Lord above is mocking me
handing satan my destiny
I sit on the throne of forever alone
cast into regret's cyclone,
dark december is calling me
'tis my fate of vacancy,
sacrificed to vile unknown
rot of heart to beast and stone,
here's my soul to slash and slay
scatter my pulse in disarray,
bleed of flesh shall liberate
seep of breath does vindicate,
only death can bring release
reaper, I beg for final peace

Pretty dark thoughts here Melissa. There must be something in the air today here in Ontario, or else you're my twin. Cause I just wrote one with similar thoughts. But dammit, you express them so much better than I. Here's to hoping we both get out of our blue moods soon. Hugs to you from here in Cambridge

Melissa - This is about as dark as anything I've read in a great long time.  Are you OK?  Should I maybe write you a special kitty-kicker poem or something to cheer you up a bit?

Melissa, how unusual to read something this dark from you - leaving the reader with a gloomy feeling. Another part of poetry you master, therefore... well done! Although I hope all is well with you.

Well crafted Melissa. I liked the poem a lot, but I hope you're doing well.  

God bless America, my home sweet home.

superbly done my friend. . .

Melissa,
I thought I was the only one that went from hot to cold. But I see you also touch upon the bold of coldest cold. I think it's in the make up of a good poet. *L*
