In the darkness of my heart,
I see a new horizen....
With the shadows hid inside..
The truth becomes binding
Night inside my head black,
and yet I still can see...
Is this Beast inside my head?
....or is it really me?

And that Darkness the fless from my soul is sanity
and I can think of nothing..
Quills of terror build up inside..
I cannot hold it forever..
eternity is in my mind..
could you ever love her?
tearing my soul up with her laugh..
could anything replace her?

Come inside, I let you in
invitation to stay is offered
do not mind the orderly mess
it is to be expected
the fear you feel is not your own
but only my intentions
fear now in this world..
for truth is only an invention

Very well done. The opening line is a killer. Good job.

Personally, I like Quills of terror, and definitely agree that truth is only an invention.

Thank you all, this is one my personal favorites. It was one of the first poems I wrote just to write. I started writing poetry a an emotional slough. Well, not exactly....but before I wrote for that reason I was just placing rhymes together in a string of nonsence...but this poem was at the time the one that captured my spirit, and for told a little of what I had inside me.

I found out at first I could only write when it was ready to come out.. but the more I allowed it to use me as a medium..the more I could release it upon will..

again, thanks
