Gothic Sanctuary

Play childishly
With my emotions
As I goudge you with this needle

Sweet crimson dripping down your arm
A trail so temptingly gross

A master peice in the making
Surrender yourself to my dominance
Percolating eyes of black
As I allow the dark foreshadowing consume me

Toy with my desires
Pulling the strings of past faults
That have made me who I am today


Proceed with your deliverance of gothic repentance
As I proceed with my urge to lavish you in death

Bring my brittle, lonesome thoughts to the surface
Cruelty, and pure agony is what I offer

Honest and open, feel this blade
Now that much sharper with your voiced pleas of approval

Trim away my rough and crusty love
Split the love and hate
That have grown together over the putrid years

Play childishly with my soul
Tossing it, crushing it

But not before,
I take all you are

For I will build your dried puddles of mistakes
Into something of darkened beauty

Shall you paint me?
Shall I shred you?

Toy with me
Play with my being

And I shall forever be in your debt
Yes, once you are peeled of imperfection
And shaved of deceit
I shall be the demon
To you
The fallen angel

    Hmmm... It had its moments, but for the technical stuff: In line 1, verse 3, 'peice' should be 'piece', and I'm not sure that 'percolating' is the right word. Not unless you're writing about a pot of coffee, which doesn't seem to be the case here

    Other than that, though, it was a good poem, a nice, solid attempt. Well done, and good luck!

    Another good poem, with a strong ending

    "Toy with my desires
    Pulling the strings of past faults
    That have made me who I am today "

    My favorite lines, beside the ending ones.

    I'm not particularly sure what I think and feel for this piece. Quite frankly I read through this, stared at it, read through it again, and waited a moment for impact. Got it...hard. This was quite a good write with beautiful words, and a bit of phrases placed in an arousing manner, but perhaps you could make the background easier on the eyes, re-arrange and add a bit. Some parts left my mouth dry...

    My honest opinion...welcome to the finalist list.

    "Honest and open, feel this blade
    Now that much sharper with your voiced pleas of approval " i like this line the most, but "that" doesn't seem to fit. Good job though!

    This poem was BEAUTIFUL. It had me imagining a few things. The poem as a whole was magnificent, but my favorite part was the last stanza:

    "Yes, once you are peeled of imperfection
    And shaved of deceit
    I shall be the demon
    To you
    The fallen angel"

    Beautiful, simply beautiful. It speaks of so many different things
