Soil



Look at me and smile
Glee dropping from your eyes
Open your arms, open them wide

And come running to me

Embrace me with all your might
Entwined, our bodies collide
And your heartbeats
Your heart beats against mine
As fire rises and wind howls

At last you’re in my arms
At last I’m in yours
Magical bliss, take me away
For it is now and it is here
That Kingdom shall come


A morning breeze, cold, surrounds us
And the soil’s scent covers our souls
A purple sky, a broken sun, nature slumbers

It is time

Your eyes, I picked them out carefully
Your lips are chapped, destined to rot
I’ve taken your heart out
My eyes widened as it kept beating in my palm
Couldn’t help the temptation

I had to taste, to savor
Every bit of what was keeping you alive
Every bit of that pulse still stuck in my head
From sleepless anxious nights
And you, my darling, are dead now

And I smile, I smile and I run to you
Arms wide open, eyes dripping glee
Gathering your every piece, shattered

Your blood is feeding my soil

Another blood,
Another night,
The smell of death now reigns
As maggots, worms and pests feed on your remains
Every part of you, becomes a part of them

But you, you were beautiful.

    Ok, this is definitely my favorite dark write. It makes me think of a serial killer. You capture apart of humanity that people refuse to see. This instinct that we don't think exists.
    Nice job!

    ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡SILENCE!!!!!!!!

    alright...that's enough!...ok i understood it! i see you'd understand me if i'd say "write some DARK", but is it so necessary to trample me? heh......i'm on my knees before you, just WOOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!!....you're one of my favorites now, i'd say you one thing that i always wanted to say: "A Masterpiece".........i really like this one, specially because it remembers me an amazing song "...And Innocence" by Ram-Zet one of the best bands that i've known ....listen it may be it like you... and just to finish with this matter...a last phrase to you: "you got this raw taste that i like to savour..." heh goodbye....

    i think once ur beautiful.. ur always beautiful..
    in life as well as in death...

    i loved both parts equally.. the lively part and the morbid part.. they are equally amazing...

    for some reason, it reminded me of HIM's song "Join me in Death"...

    i agree with milz... i can totaly hear this dark voice reading ...

    great job once again my rana.

    love u

    i'm always amazed by this perspective you have on death and how great and visible and disgusting the impact of it is on our mortal bodies...but what's even more amazing that you just disregard all that and sum it all up in one single breathtaking statement...
    "But you, you were beautiful."
    that's the whole point...

    amazing write as always

    "Another blood,

    Shattered heart holding the pen inked with longing and love.

    Favorite: The magic, the love, the picture is so clear
    Least favorite: That the death was so real! Personally I like to ignore things I do not like...
    Even so, I think it is really good!

    wow!

    This very,very good! What an excellent poet you are. The images are incredible. Also an interesting twist to a sounding love poem. I also read this aloud. Do you share your work out at open mic's/coffee houses etc? If not you should, this is really a beautiful poem.
