Personal Winter

Midwinter wrongs the rights of springs
Desire in violent overture
Painted over a mosaic world

For beauty is always cruel...

Like a siren whispering soft promises
Drifting across the silent winds
Will my temptation give way to desolation?
Oh pariah of twisted beauty
Oh sweet Adonis!
My misguided suicide
My scar-riddled symphony of crimson regret
All apparent on the Arctic tongue of Bel
Defiled perfection
In the shape of chaotic innocence
Bleed from my now frozen wounds
Pleading for redemption
On the twisted nails of fate
Understanding through pain
Knowledge through tears

Fulfill me!

My soul screams with the echo of ages past
Manannan Mac Liyr can no longer hide me from myself. Not here. This barren wasteland of frozen dreams. Dead to the world. To tease dynastic union and beget them further maniacs, Oh this world of parallel mirrors in sadistic unity. Oh mother Goddess, Danu, Glorious creator, Beautiful destructor, tear the tainted flesh from my soul and let it be reborn. But first it must die. This is the price of the key to Bel's gate. Beat me, cut me, bleed me, ravish me
And I scream...
I scream until land and sea clash in a shadowed dance of brilliant defiance.
But winter has just begun...
...and the winters are long

Author notes

There really is no set pattern of writting in this one. It's just a writting, and this is how it came out on paper. It was my first writting in SF after a long dry spell. 009 encouraged me to write it. SO here it is.

    *cocks head to one side a little* i do.. like it, but it isn't my favorite pice of yours, but that's okay. But i really like these few lines:
    "My misguided suicide
    My scar-riddled symphony of crimson regret
    All apparent on the Arctic tongue of Bel
    Defiled perfection
    In the shape of chaotic innocence"
    and
    "Understanding through pain
    Knowledge through tears"
    ^THis is really powerful right here. but do we as humans truly understand? we are but mear humans.
