The lake ripples in the breeze,
once in this water there was happiness
now lives betrayal
the sky is dark in this place
the rain never stops
the thunder crahes into me
an introduction to my disease
there is blood on this trail
whimpering and broken
the wind storms against my back

Thousands of years have past
your back covered in lash marks
the sun narrows
you're blinded in desperation
there is no more fire
The conquest is now dead
Lying under the willow
blood congealing
the flies have found their next meal
fingers curved over his chest
eyes the color of rubies

The hour slip by so slowly
midnight catches hold
his body rises
the myth
his voice howls nothingness
he moves as still as death

Snap back to the future
the memory of his past
burns his heart
the undead
the unrealistic fairytale
the heart

The skies are black,
the sun has exploded
a love story lost
the mists of yesterday
gone, Nightmares...
The heart of the beast
continues to thrive....

Regina

Note: well, yes,...that is a very weird poem....meh...hope you enjoyed it.

(big hugggsssssssss) For now this will be the situation, but know soon the gentle butterfly of love will come suckling on the flowers of your dreams again and the sweet gentle grace will believe it or not chase the beast away! (sad sigh) I send heart hugs and my vote your way, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Regina, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ina-

Long and short to read, but enjoyed nonetheless! It reminded me of a scene in William Golding's Lord of the Flies (which my english class last year over analyzed and wrecked the very essence of the book) where the children are trying to kill each other... Okay, maybe not the best of scenes to mention, but the tone of the poem just reminded me of it. Liked it muchly!

You should be posting in Dark. Maybe you do ... I haven't been around that way in a while. I love this.
