Green eyes meet red stains
A single question rolls down
Off of cherubim lips
This shining velvet curtain
Lying in e'er beating hearts
This crimson darkness blinks
Pressing a talon against the trigger
Swinging the barrel to its friend
Clenching the heart in withered hand
The veins grow
The arteries pulse
The heart fights
And eyes brighten
But the darkness eats the heart
And the crimson merely howls
While vibrant eyes lay clouded
In a lust of darkness
Author notes
To me this came in a thought of the tragedy of VA Tech. This darkness, this kind of dark ignorance, is omnipresent in everyone. It just gets some people more than others.

Green, red? Almost metamorphic in substance and power, the transformation is very obvious.

I gave you my view on this already, but I must say again, wow! The style is creative and clenching. Booya!
