Darkness Dreaming I am the man of your dreaming: Dank spectre holding your smile. A mythical Casanova... The object of your denial. I’ll graze your echoes of laughter- Glide through night-crystal fears. I’ll crush your intimate rainbows Shelling out heart aching tears. I’ll challenge your mind for meaning, Feed from your soul bleeding pain. The infamous childe of Bedlam, Come to the fore once again. So whisper your breath’s lullabye, Call me, you wretched disgrace. I’m a blood hound fond’ling secrets From imaginations chaste. Scream out my name in the Darkness- Beg for my feathery arms. The caress of evil appeal Invoked by maidenly charm. My touch spans waters of distance, Drowning your hopes in my light. March through your marshes of terror Searching my sadist’s delight. I’ll bring you a rose thorny free To taste of it’s velveteen skin. Then banish it to forever, Virtue turned into a sin. In hunting you’re my only prey; A rabbit panicked in sleep. I chase as you’re crying away, Then laugh as I feed...you weep. I am the man of your dreaming: There’s no escaping my gaze. Just lay in quivering terror... For I am your end of days.

Whoa....very dark gothic work you've created, Chris. I absolutely love the teasing and taunting, the mix of pain and pleasure, drawing one out before the final crushing blow....sweet venomous kiss. At first, all that went through my head was RifRaf's song in Rocky Horror...Darkness must flow down the rivers of Life's dreaming... Damn....you have an exceptional gift, Christopher. Don't think I could've pulled this one off...too much of an absurdist.  Alicat, the Persnikitty  |

Hey Chris, Ooo Brrrrr...... This was very chilling for me to read. Sucked the breath right out of me. Now I just hope I interpreted this the way it was meant to be... and I think I did. At any rate...this was very well writen. I am in awe! ~Sheri [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 05-01-2000).] |

Most amazing Mr. Christopher...very dark passion, indeed... (by the way, did you know that rabbits can scream---absolutely blood-curdling...) Love and smiles to my sadistic friend--or should I call you Master?--either way--much artistry evident, once again...er--Sir... |

Virtue turned into a sin, eh? God can I relate to that!!! Chris - I need not tell you how the darkness in this one appeals to my better half... This gives such an overpowering sense of helplessness to the reader. Kudos... Michael |

this is very well written... such a firm grip and power over what you want I loved it... If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light... Avanti Rao |

Simply powerful my friend. and "Great!!!" Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

This was probably one of the best pieces of yours I've ever read. Very evil and chilling, but sexy nonetheless! LOL You rock! I can see you licking the blood from your lips! hehehe  |

Very dark indeed my friend. I read this and think of you and know where this is coming from. I also know that one of these days that rabbit that you are chasing will look at you with those beautiful eyes of hers and you will be lost. There is a hardness about you (and with good cause) but there is also a softness. Another masterpiece my friend.  |

You have a balance of hard and soft, methinks. This is quite a poem, and you have quite a talent because I see a dark passion in this, yelling louder than any other poem of yours that I've read. I, as I'm sure many others as well, like to see you explore the different facets of your writing skills. Well done, m'friend. |

I think you should forget about printing this one out and framing it. Some night you may want to bring a sweet young thing to your apartment. After reading this, she'd probably break down the door just to get out! Excellent poem sir...very dark though I do not think it's one of your best...that's the next poem you write..no! wait, the one after that..no! wait..ok...one of your best! |

My friends, I'd like to thank you...first, for enjoying the poem and secondly for seeing that this isn't me. It's merely another facet of my writing. As Nic so aptly pointed out, I like to experiment with a variety of ideas. Thank you for your responses to this, I wasn't sure how it would be met! And Gen - I'm ALWAYS sexy!  |

Gee Sharon -- don't think this one will go over well with the ladies, huh..?  Well, I'm no lady, but I liked the idea ... though I have to say that if you had worked with this one a bit more, it could have been REALLY awesome (instead of just uncommonly good). My fav was the rose stanza ... cruelty at its very best ... Catch ya later brat ... LOL -- EVIL brat ... --Me :0P Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |
