Perhaps this is the last verse
I will ever write,
I'm tired of being derided,
called weak and uninspired.
My verse is considered jaded,
boring, and trite.

I think I am right in returning
to the burning pleasures of the Night,
therein lies the delight
that drew me with my yearning.

Hate keeps me alive,
safe and warm,
Within the arms of vengeance
that never relents
or parts
the tapestry of me.

I open my eyes to
what blinded me before,
I found to my sorrow
That all the reasons
That made me flee,
Where there,
staring back at me.


Against this fate
I will not wail and curse,
Just put to paper
this final verse.

I once again agree with elvira. You are much to talented to stop...use those words, for you are blessed with the gift.

To quit in the face of adversity...... tis the shame of cowards and wannabe's... While I can make no claim to your talent, I can call attention to your potential. Do the world, and yourself a favor and quit the whinning and beging the creating.... add beauty to this world in the form of verse, both dark and lovely.

Either that, or quit, without the sorry swan song.

Sorry to say this, but some seem to have a problem distinguishing between fantasy and reality. Perhaps, they should try expressing themselves, venting to be rid of an unwanted emotion.

You have a wonderful talent with the written word, and the creative ways to use them. Like I said in a previous response I don't really like dark writing, but let me tell you this, you have a way of writing it with the right touch and that is a gift. Please keep your pen filled with ink, and our eyes inspired with your skill.

We all know he cannot stop writing.....for if he is like us..........writing is like breathing, we cannot stop it and expect to live for very long.

If he ever stops writing, somebody go check on him. He would have to be sick.

jaded, boring, trite?
Adjectives one could never associate with
your work!  
Great poem.
