Today it is time for my annual dark poetry corner, and I have three offerings for you today. I'm stepping away from witches today into the macabre magic of the undead and the Fae. Enjoy.
Bleed Me to Life
Immortality
written within the tomb
Saddened fatality
beneath the moon
Who am I,
to stalk the shadows?
Who am I,
but a corpse
Blood through the veins
Substance to hunger
You are Life
I am Death
You always crave
what you cannot have
A momentary glimpse;
the warmth of breath
against decaying skin
when I hold you, mesmerized
Your lifeblood stolen
to feed my eternity
It is not enough,
our flirting dance,
your poignant demise
Even though you've given
me this façade of life,
prolonged my existence
I long to join you
in life or death
Not this forever in-between
As the Shadows Dance
As the shadows dance
under the moon,
against shafts of light
reflecting fire,
the whispering wind
murmurs the names
of the wandering Fae
Among the trees, they move,
one with the night,
sapphire eyes searching
for the ghosts lingering
on the edge of forever
Left there long ago
by careless words
and broken hearts
Suspended souls, waiting
for broken Fae promises
to be kept
Now it is time
for the reaping
Now it is time
for the payment come due
The night wails
for the lost souls,
The night mourns
as the Fae collect
And the wind howls;
the last sound of
human trust
Breathless and Chilled
In
the shadow of the frost,
a
last whisper past the twilight,
there
creeps a sigh
and
a glimmer of the moon
Once
he held a rose,
the
warmth around his heart,
now
he sees only ghosts
in
the barren, solitary tomb
underneath
the ice
Winter
blows,
down
the long road
Winter
settles,
in
the truth
And
her voice echoes,
in
his lies
