A performance worth dying forA Poem by BattlecryI think you can guess it's about a circus. As usual. Yep.
As a sceptre flourishes insanity; madness unravels
A dark aura seeps forth from crevices in the ground Through the rubble, through the flames A silhouette soon takes shape A man of darkness: red suit, red tie Without the top hat; six foot, five A single scar on his right eye Deformed and unsightly; the colour of white Hidden by hair of darkest of black His green eyes gleam: he knows you've come back A smirk, a grin, a hefty wind -------------------------------------------------------- "Come one, come all! The fun never ends!" A circus tent forms, curiosity kicks in A few steps closer, the man leans in "Welcome to Deadwoods Circus, my friend!" Stepping inside and taking a seat The lights all dim "Our show can't be beat! It's to die for, I say! You'll never wish to leave!" The words echo clearly as your mind is taken for siege You sit back and watch You've already given in "Shall we dance?" The man says, taking your hand A dark toothy grin plasters on his face "Close your eyes and sleep" by now you're not even awake You feel his lips press against yours Within seconds you're gone, body on the floor The last thing you hear is the man say "Welcome to the circus... You're here to stay..." © 2015 Battlecry |
