Malevolent shade, why dost thou pursue me? Violent, spectral beast, reeking with death's stench. Am I the only one to fight you? In our eternal battle, not once have I escaped, your sinewy blizzard clutch. Wrest briefly from thine claw, only to again be grasped by mine heel. Never to remove thy grunge, from inside mine head. Thine presence sickens me, ye of many names; anger, spite, envy, despair. Your putrescence creeps always, touching filth upon any I love. Thou dost grapple with me, in my waking dreams. Sitting upon my labored chest, in my fright-soaked nights. Darkness be thy greeting, horror be thy laugh. For ages beyond my knowing, you have death-walked, seething within me, waiting. Are ye controlled by my might? Hardly so. Merely allowing me, but brief repreive, to flit upon joy. Only to make thy return, more vile by compare. Eternal dregs of hate, I spit in thine eye. For I, humanity, shall strive, to gain final conquest, in this forever fight < !signature--> Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.

You can vote for your own work. Sometimes we need some darkness in our lives to recognize and appreciate the light.  |

Uh... if I'm not mistaken... to vote for your own poem you need to reply to that poem.... So, be on the lookout for poets who have 50 or 60 responses to their own work! Then we'll know who is stuffing the ballot box! P.S. I did not vote with this reply!  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
