Midnight rolls around again
Here I lie alone again
In a desert land
I stand
Falling…
Forsaken in the shadow of love
Laments the weeping rain
Perfect insanity and suicide dreams
One last scar to make this pain
Chaos and shadows
Tears splatter the dust
Unseen exposure
And lack of trust
Lovely mutilation
Darkest rivers of regret
Swallowed up in empathy
Chaos soon forgets
Spinning and sinning
Bound by shackles of fear
Shattered and broken
Acid emerald tears
Eternal emptiness
Feeds this crimson addiction
Lost in death’s maze
No sense of direction
Twisted dreams
Haunting, hunting,
Malicious nightmares
Lusting, wanting
Finding the way into
A morbid reality
Breaking the dreamer
Convicted of insanity
Drown out the black
On moonlight’s path
Where wicked souls
Release their wrath
Embracing the darkness
In a slowly blurring vision
The princess of shadows
Stirs suicidal decisions
Deeper and weaker
Just pretend
Falling forever
Solemnity’s trend
Crumbling towers of sanity
Suffocate and glisten
The cry of moonlit sacrifice
Gathers the stars to listen
Imprinted surrender
Draws a chilling sight
The howling wind wails
Death at midnight
A dreadful frozen requiem
Adorned by sorrowful moans
Whistles through the graveyard
Amongst the dark tombstones
In peace to rest
To rest and decay
Decay and rot
Rotting away
Staining the tiles
Engraved in skin
Lies the evidence
Of untimely sin
The crimson puddles
Of fallen rain
And one last scar
To mask the pain…

This is like being sucked into a tunnel where one keeps spinning round and round, being taken further and further down. Liked that flow and the brevity of the lines. Enjoyed the story shared in these lines - easy to read and understand.

Ooops! Don't think I should be commenting on this because it is so far beyond my experience as to be in the Black Horse Nebula. It is well done and uses words in such a splendid way but....Lordy, it is so long. Why not save your energy and make five poems instead of one? - just my way I like short and pithy. I suppose I must add - Keep on cuttin' ????
-
Awesome
your very poetic, the rhyming is good and follows rhythmicaly, and your choice of words shows a flare for the beauty of words.Its such a pretty poem. -
This is really good. Even tho i dont' know what Requiem means. ha lol. My fav stanza was the following:
Spinning and sinning
Bound by shackles of fear
Shattered and broken
Acid emerald tears- that is just beautifully put. Very nice job angel cake...
Love MJ
