Wild yellow roses dotted the black fields
smothering the screams from Daisy Echos,
in the secret cave where nestled in pain,
he created love's mockery.
He whispered words of sweet seduction,
filled with more words of beautiful
regret that snowballed hatred on the
background of life and the kaleidoscope
of lies and whiskey dreams that filled
his life like a favorite heartache. Where
each cut of the knife created cascading
dreams of previous victims, whose endings
were filled with well seasoned pain and
finally, in his fading patience, he removed
their beating hearts as they slid in the
rainbow of shadows.
As he savored each cut and hurt he visited she
bled. Nominating death, she laid in a simmering
silence of pain, floating above the clouds of hate.
With a soft stab of a burning cigarette, he played
out his video game of life. Porcelain drops of
her flesh surrounded that plant of life, her framed
heart on the wall, with the other trophies of his
cannibal trust.
Perhaps it was a baby's first fall,
or a mind of sleeping chaos filled
with blind images that created those
inspiring corridors, hiding a poisonous
masquerade. Where the search of such
mentally inclined evil is a slippery slope
to traverse and finding the truth in the
current market place of wisdom is not
possible in a society that abrogates
personal responsibility.

NICE!
I can see the beauty within the darkness of his lost, twisted mind in this piece. It truly is a work of art and the words you chose to use only amplify the violent nature of this killer. WELL DONE!
