Broken the old tithes that bond
  Reckless ruinous pursuits anew
    Overturned to a new bloodying see
      Killing fields afore hope taste
        Elysium purpose planned drowned red
          Never the answer life speaks its refrain

Delerious fevered words
  Emboldened memory desires an
    Avatar of emotive radiance lies
      Dead in red tracks of hearts blood desires

I do love your style....and I too, seem, to write "dark"---will be looking for more from you...these are wonderful!

I've been reflecting on your writing for awhile now. It reminds me a bit of someone I once knew. Very powerful, very harsh (not meant as a critisizm), very........I'm unsure of the word I search for.
I compliment you as a writer. You're very good. The poem left me feeling very sad.

Another wonderful acrostic. Capitally written.

I only have written one acrostic, and it ended up in the recycle bin...considering how hard they are, this is great.....
