The smell of blood Hanging in the air Look at the serpents Running through her hair Do you see the darkness Deep within her eyes Can you feel the hunger That’s beneath the lies Can you hear her heart Coursing with the blood Once she has her start Emotions form a flood The blood within her veins Is not her blood at all It’s the blood of those in chains And the blood of those who fall She whispers in your dreams Feeds while your sleeping No one hears the screams Because at night she does her creeping This is the story of a creature Whose appearance is beguiling Her most potent weapon Shows when she’s smiling |

Oh man I loved this! Haven't read any of your work before, I'll be looking for more. This was awesome to read I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

(big hugggssssssss) Wow, this got me to the edge of my seat, I can't decide if this is more ecstatic or saddening! (sigh) This is marvelous, sweet friend, I enjoy this very much, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tony, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

this poem actually wasn't depressing. here i was all depressed already so i was like 'might as well read some tony poetry' but it was actually pretty neat. the last lines were my favorite, good job *thumbs up* b no one can make you feel inferior, unless you let them.--eleanor roosevelt |

this is really good. it takes something normally made out to be nothing but "sweet" and made it darker without taking away the feeling. very good. the only thing i would change is the last line of the second stanza. I think it would flow better if it said someting like, "that hides beneath the lies." the extra syllable would improver it i think. hope i helped. Jenn don't ever let others tell you who you are |

Wow, I loved this. It was dark and yet, in the last stanza you made it alright. Describing the word love is a hard thing to do, but I think you did it well. Got my vote. Riley Windows stained with the fog, words written in by a girl. |
