Darkness takes hold on my judgement as
my mind spirals through a demon's lair.
It is here, and only here, that
i control what lives and dies;
screams are only frantic melodies.
Eye's of horror upon a sheet of flesh are
my canvases; trophies held above all.
Blood rains down upon my head as i stalk through
a darkened, hollowed alley of delusion.
I can feel their hooves beating at my brain,
frantic
seering
blinding
RAGE; with which i expel the evil through
a force of flashing silver.
These demonic stallions in my head lash out
as i embrace this woman;
a whore built of fabrications
and all those little, feeble lies.
In my nightmares i see the corpses swinging
from lonely hooks of life.
Each aligned for the slaughter as i
close my mind down for hybernation.
A deep REM sleep solitude which i wish
never to awaken; though that's just wishing.
Psychosis is what psychiatrists call it;
psychotic behavior which leads me
to committ unspeakable acts of T3RROR.
Skinning, gutting the nations prostitues
of bitter hatred for this dying world;
and i'll laugh as it goes up in flames.
Her horror is what brings me to her,
combines us as one.
I can smell the decay of tainted innocense.
My knife gleams
**twitching, writhing, pulsing**
--sadistic intent glamourized--
i'm it's only living alibi.
Life is a journey my friends,
and i am but a mortal man sent to cleanse
this world of filth.
These voices ARE MY FRIENDS,
they whisper to me in the dead of night.
I can feel her warm, soft flesh calling
forth my lunacy; stripping me of madness.
oh how her lovely screams paint vivid images on
concrete as her throat is slit; sparkling like glitter.
Down the corridor of insanity i travel,
a slime of entrails my majestic red carpet.
::
::
::Splattered walls of revelation::
::speak solemnly of cannibalism::
::
::
They shall never find me
I do feel bad,
but it's her LIES i'm butchering;
her filthy, putrid lies of disdain.
My candle burns on,
burns through symphonies of pain
which ellude a flashing sensation.
A sensation buried deep within my psyche.
Death spurts to gurggles and gasps of illusion;
a fictional existance snuffed out by horror.
I hear the whispers echoing through distant burials;
a visceral holocaust spattered in the alleyway.
Screams die down as death throes take over,
electrocution spurting through our bodies.
I am the beginning of her end, my friends;
the feel of crimson etched into fragility.
I feel this need to kill, a need to murder
as i walk down this desolate alley.
The shadows encompass my being as
i stalk; my silver blade at my side
ready to butcher sanity;
and then.......
there she is; silent as a bird.
And i become the hunter yet again
Author notes
MALE SERIAL KILLER
ilovemygrape: No, i am NOT a serial killer but this is what i percieve the mind of a killer to be. However, i DID think of this and i did write it.....therefore, these words have dwelled within my psyche, DOES THIS MAKE ME INSANE??

Dark/emotional: options 2 and 5
rose blood 87:
Though this doens't MENTION Sweeney Todd, the murders committed is a bit similar. THis is a FAR stretch and there's mention of cannibalism. Sorry if this isn't what you were expecting! ^_^
ShadowHex666: I hope this is ok, i chose a VERY, VERY FEAR INDUCING subject in hopes that it would fit the catogory. if not, i won't be offended if you DQ it. Your contest, your rules!
LadyDementia: I wrote this to you already, but....to me, THAT PICTURE represents hell and the internal battle for sanity. The killer in this piece is dealing with his own firy, personal hell......so.....i hope it semi-matches the picture. OR what you're looking for

This poem was excellent. Your imagry and use of words is fantastic. You really captivate the essence of darkness. Great job.

I find freedom through writing and the inspiration of horror. LOL.
haha, in fact, if i could direct and write a script for a horror movie, i bet i could scare the living shit out of people without gore. haha.....

Good stuff. The first three stanzas kept my interest and drew me into your image, but I ended up reeling back from the story after that. I loved "swinging from lonely hooks of life" -referencing the public as corpses is something I can relate to and I love, But I have to say your use of 'T3RROR' put me off massively. Any seriousness dissolved from the poem here, and you began to write more literally, so I lost interest. You regain the involving story again at "Death spurts to gurgles and gasps of illusion" and the rest of that stanza, but it doesn't save the poem as a whole for me. I see this poem as a steak that needs the fat cutting off it.
Thanks for the entry -
This is a wonderful write and very deserving of all the wins it has received. Best of luck to you in the contest.

Good Luck! -

Fantastic write, you have got all the gore and murder in here I could possibly want. You have also managed to give it an added chill factor by getting inside the mind. The imagery is wonderful....ok I'm twisted The ending is just perfect, ready to begin all over again. You are right, it goes with the picture very well, I used it as it has plenty of scope for all dark tastes. A great entry for my contest, good luck!

This piece is just down right creepy, Full of visuals, almost as you are in the killers mind. A Hunter ridding the world of filth, many killers feel that way, that they are doing a good deed in killing people. Great job! and good luck in the contest!

I think you would have loved the ones i had written on here before (they are no longer on here, they were to graphic, disturbing, and gory for AP--they entailed necrophilia, brutal mutilations, extreme gore, cannibalism, rape, etc).
They were amazing
-
-
great poetry. really oozing with creativity and power. lovely to read and then read again. the whole thing complimented by what precedes each line after such an emotive and striking first set of lines. lovely work. really strong work. hope you win
