Damned


The night bled a crimson red,
My heart, I surrendered, to burn at Salem's stake.
Ritual drums pounded at my ears,
But it drowns not the scream of my tears.

The fiery flames lept around in a trance,
Apathetic faces circled in blasphemous chants.
Whirling and prancing like dancing demons,
As if to purge my soul of Love's venom.

The rank taste of my impaled heart,
Immaculate no more, branded by a Serpent's rapier.
Now eternally doomed in Damnation's hell,
Never again to hear Eden's tolling bells.

Across the gateway of my heart,
I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your replies. I haven't posted anything here for a long time now. It's really heartening to know that i haven't been too out of touch.
