Decomposing bodies - brutally disembowled hang from meat hooks - dangling lifelessly sacrificial lambs will appease the master bring me one step closer to my dark destiny Blood that drips from the butchered carcasses is forming a puddle in the shape of a pentagram a horrific silhouette - the spectre of hatred starts to rise from the crimson apparition Evil spirits of the underworld I have summoned unto thee deliver me to the gates of Hades where I will spend eternity The power I have now harnessed is from the blackest of all sorcery now having reached far beyond the very realms of our worldly reality In a hypnotic subconscious trance I am being viciously demonized from unprecedented communication with the one immortal deity I behold the bloodred eyes of the demon here to claim the master's rightful property succumbing to the power - death becomes me I now relinquish my soul to burn in Hell Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

Thanx a lot kinson, but I don't understand why they would not keep this on the Dark Poetry section, I purposely posted it here because it is a truly dark poem. I am not a Satanist of any sorts, I just, as you said, expressed my aristic impression to write a poem about a subject. I understand some people might get offended by this, that is why I entered it on the Dark Poetry page, I hope they keep it on here.

Well, all I can do is wait and see what they are gonna do, I will abide by any rules they deem necessary in order to keep on posting on this excellent web site. Maybe, if nothing else, I can just post poems like this in the adult section. Thanx again. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

This poem is artistic and imaginative.  Could easily be a scene in Stephen King or Dean Koontz novel. |

Wow, thanx for your support EarthenSoul, I feel the same way. I feel poetry should be treated in the same artistic and creative viewpoints, despite the deepness of the subject matter, whether inspirational or toward the dark side of life.

Hey there  Having read your discussion, and concerns, I thought I should mention a few things.. Firstly..for Kinson and Sword, a quote from passion's guidelines, which provides an guide for why some things are removed and some aren't: "The BIG Rules * A personal attack against another individual, no matter how warranted or justified, is unacceptable * Profanity is unacceptable (and disguising it with asterisks won't make it any more acceptable) * Sensationalistic sex and violence is unacceptable * Advocating harm to a human being (including self-harm) is unacceptable Note: Sex, death, violence, and even suicide can all be explored in responsible ways and that kind of exploration is encouraged. Please use your best judgement, but be willing to accept the final judgement of the Moderators" (And the URL for a full review of the guidelines: /pip/guidelines/rules.html) Kinson, I believe this is the poem you are referring to: /pip/Forum46/HTML/001740.html which was reopened after discussion in the moderator's forum. The reason it was put in for review in the first place is not because the poem featured a pool of blood, but because we were concerned the piece advocated self-harm. Sword - I believe your poem falls into this category 'Sex, death, violence, and even suicide can all be explored in responsible ways and that kind of exploration is encouraged.' Although the subject matter will offend some, it doesn't seem to break any of the above guidelines. It is dark in nature - and while some of your descriptions such as 'brutal disembowellment' might be pushing it in terms of sensationalist violence, over all I think this is an artistic exploration in a poetic form. Please keep in mind that the moderators take their concerns to the moderator's forums and discuss them. We make our decisions with the guidelines in mind, and the decisions are never made carelessly. I hope this has helped clear things up. Severn |

Reminds me of listening to Cannibal Corpse (a looong time ago) -- a brutal front for something actually harmless, and sorta laughable for its sensationalistic convictions. That said, I enjoyed this in a very strange way. Though I shall throw no devil signs in appreciation. mikey These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun. |

Thanx bsquirrel, I am a death metal maniac myself, Cannibal Corpse kicks ass and I have seen them in concert 4 times. I also like Deicide, Insatanity, Goatwhore, Angel Corpse and Cryptopsy to name a few. Thanx for your cool words. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |
