Slowly, all my fears are turning into unbounded tears,
Slowly, all my desires are burning into the scorching fires,
There's nothing I can do but scream, scream into the lawfully beautiful night.
Slowly, the hate in my soul is devouring me whole,
Slowly, my hand is turning into blood-red sand,
And there's nothing I can do but scream, scream into the lawfully beautiful night.
I want to be taken alive,
I want to be fed to the night,
Where I can rest,
Where I can play,
Where I can go to sleep in silence,
I want to be fed to the night.
Drifting slowly down Night's aisle,
Sliding down its waterway stairs,
There's nothing I can do but scream, scream into the lawfully beautiful night.
Heaven was in my reach, yet I did not know,
My life is so much clear, right here.
Then, all I could do was cry,
And now all I'm able to do is be sane, again
And scream into the lawfully, beautiful night.
I want to be taken alive,
I want to be fed to the night,
Where I can rest,
Where I can play,
Where I can go to sleep in silence,
I want to be fed to the night.
The howls of the wolves keep me alert,
The breeze of the wind keeps me dreaming,
The hooting of the owls keeps me singing,
And the voice of the night keeps me alive!
I want to be taken alive,
I want to be fed to the night,
Where I can rest,
Where I can play,
Where I can go to sleep in silence,
I want to be fed to the night.

i want to hear you sing this one day, i hope you don't mind me asking but as i read it i tried thought i heard your voice singing it to me, i wanna see if i got it right, keep it flowing
-
very interesting. You said chorus so I am assuming that this is meant to be a song. Well you definitely have the imagery down pat. Good job with that. Also, I think that the backgroud goes very well with the poem. Good job and thanks for joining in my contest.

Bla, I forgot to put these on

"Lawfully beautiful night" For some reason, I just love how that phrase rolls of the tongue so easily. I also liked the chorus in this one as I did with the last one I read, especially the line "I want to be fed to the night." But my favorite part of the poem was that it had no structured rhyming really, not that I saw at least. That seemed to help the flow some =].
GREAT job
diggin it majorly

What a line "I want to be fed to the night"
Wow. The imagination goes wild with that line and combine it with the rest of the poem the mind is in overload!

A little worried about the being taken alive. . .I mean, will the morning bring you back okay? I'm kidding, I loved this. Very graphic imagery here, and yes I can hear a melody behind it.
Good show?(who IS that guy?LOL),

This looked very cool, I liked it as a song and yes it is better when it is sang with music. Though the music of first part can hardly be used for the second part because of the sentences length. I liked it, specially the repeatation and the great need to be at peace. Not like your poems (they are better) but it is a nice song and can be put into melody. <3
