Day to day, finding prey,
To hunt when night doth fall.
Find the one, thy will be done,
And so my demons call.
Racing heart, a beat apart,
As lust for blood ensues.
So I crave, to misbehave,
The taste of fear, my muse.
So tonight, beneath lamp light,
Heels on concrete ring.
Hold my breath, for twilight death,
And all the pain I’ll bring.
Now I stalk as prey doth walk,
Unknown to what’s in store.
Looking round at every sound,
This primal fear so raw.
So turned on, I lust and long,
And strike from shadows cold.
Fearing eyes that question why,
Recoiling from my hold.
Fear thee not, thy fear begot,
The best is yet to come.
In my reign, I’ll show you pain,
Before your senses numb.
In my heart, my work is art,
And she, my canvas bare.
Cut her deep, and make her weep,
And whimper as I stare.
Cutting lines as art defines,
With patterns crimson red,
Bleed her dry and bid goodbye,
Before her body’s dead.
Passion quelled, where life once dwelled,
And now to bleach her skin.
Take away, my marks of play,
And wash away my sin.
Quickly ferried, corpse is buried,
Under basement floor.
So I weep, before I sleep,
And pray there are no more…

There are absolutely NO amount of words that can describe how well done this is. Normally, rhyme doesn't do much for me but you truly made this work. It actually added to the piece. I also loved how you referred to the victims as "prey." It gave the killer a more bestial and animalistic image. Kind of like wolves to sheep?? Yes? CONGRATS! you DEFINITELY made it in the finals with this
-
Imagery is just astonding! Good luck!
-
WOW !!!!!

i reliii loved this..BEAUTIFUL !!

The rhythm of this is bloody brilliant (pun intended).
The internal rhyme was genius.
As I read, it had moments when it reminded me of a
prayer......
It makes me want to read it again in the dark.
Haunting. Magnificent.
Dark, yet dreamlike.
I love the way it flows from the blood-lust, to the thrill of the murder, to the despair afterwards.
Perfect in every way.
-
Congrats on the silver!
I am possitive Pink loved this--
Darkness is her domain.
This is super creepy *shivers*
and I love it!
-
Elegant, psychotic, entertaining, and, in short, bloody brilliant. I love it. The way you rhymed completely sucked me in. I love your poem so much! Thanks heaps for entering and good luck.

I love how you mixed in the muse and the murder!! Fantastic write that flows brilliantly!!
-
Exelent Write
This is so forboding and dark. I love it
this is such a murderious. Sometimes I get dark thoughts like this. One time when I was eightteen I remember having a very very bad and dark dream I'll send off a message and tell you about it, this made me think of that dream.
-
Lustful sensual darkness weeps in each stanza.
Lines to die for and the muse rivers the desires.
Awesome hun Love it all

Definitely a dance in the dark, you reveal the inner machinations of the self professed artist of death.
The lustful quest penned with quivers of shivers, so sad that these creatures of the nightlongdays exist.
Predatory poetry.
