Hellborn

It looks real cool
and so it said
"The moon's arrived
inside my head"

The cry echoes from
down the hall
A woman with a man
is not having fun at all

A child arrived
from within this gloom
It grew up
much, much too soon

When he was a teen
he had a feast
Just of blood
the kid's a beast

No more left
in his house
Nothing but
a rotting mouse

Revenge it seems
takes its toil
But more still
lives he stole

Another then
comes into play
This one too
has his way

The new one goes
and destroys the first
only thing to be done
to kill his thirst

Which is better?
is everyone a fool?
Who really knows?
but now it's cool.

Well, Sparrow, honestly the last stanza threw me a bit...but then again, it's four in the mourning and I am one breath away from being a total zombie....I loved the flow and the unraveling of this poem, though..Indeed, it's cool.

Wow,almost reminds me of Anne Rice's
Lasher. Very Gothic. Hoping to read more.

yea, it would be better without the last stanza...

ah well, it's already in print now ;}

It was all pretty much random thoughts when I first wrote it down, so I didn't really notice how bad the last stanza stood out until I found the story which showed itself in the rest of the poem.

I tend to find the meanings of a lot of my works long after I've written them.

Oh yea, Lasher is one of my favorite books, so I'm flattered ;}

Sparrow,
It's your work my friend. It's not complete till you say it is. And yes, it's very Goth but still streetsmart and pushy. It lashes out and says "get to the end."

Bring some more...
