Darkness

Sweet insanity...

Pull me into your darkness
Let me inhale your fumes
Feel the hot, sticky blood
Melt around my feet
Feel your dead black stare
Burn a hole in the canvas
And start a roaring fire
As we dance around it
Jubilant songs we sing
Stripped bare of our lies
We come clean of sins
And embrace our inner
Darkness
Putrid skin that lines flesh
Covered with sweat; human
Making its way to our keep
Where we share secrets
Who we'd drawn blood from
Who we were planning to
What we thought in the dark
What we burned that night
All turn to flakes of ash
And sent out the chimney
Cleared out of my noisy head
And silenced the whispers
Of our everlasting sense of
Darkness
My innermost desires
Link with your living dream
That becomes our reality
Within a crackle of the flame
Clogging the windows and doors
Trapping us between dimensions
Without our sliver of light
Leaving us blind and desperate
We eat off of each other
Feeding on your sanity
And my last bit of patience
Swiping away our filth
With our sharpened fangs
Bloodthirsty and blind
We see through to our new
Darkness
Abandon the light, friend
And settle down in our home
Where you can stay as long
There's plenty of blood to go around
Don't drink, you say hastily
You'll be hooked from one drop
Our scandalous mysteries
And secret recipe for disaster
Was forgotten like our sanity
And left in the dust to rot
Turned to ash by the hungry flame
And sent out as a memory
Floating whispily out the chimney
Into the never ending
 Darkness

I don't think i've ever seen a poem quite like this . Not criticizing . I actually like it . it's so dark and demented . It's got a scary vibe to it but that just makes it better . Nice work !

[piggy]

very very very scary.

I will sleep with the light on tonight.
Do you think this should have a mature rating?

You took us on a dark, and twisted tale. This piece felt
intimate to me, like you were revealing yourself to your
readers. Nicely done.
