DaRk CRimson BLooD

 

` Dark Crimson Blood `

 

My heart and soul
doth dwell in dark secret love
yes, a deadly affair stained in
dark crimson blood

'twas no victory won,
as vaults of heaven cried
my hand still frozen to the gun
as my lover's cold blood did run
in leaden rain drops died.

yet, no remorse had i
nor heavy heart to bare
and left him bleeding there
near fresh dug graves nearby.

the graveyard winds blew brisk
that dark, dreary, night
and the rain that fell
was marked by hell
as i ran in shivering fright

a bullet between his eyes
kept running thru~my mind
he had sworn in the name of
the Gods of Love ,he would
right our love and he'd be mine.

but his promises stood empty,
he would not leave his wife
now crimson blood runs down
his cheeks,and curls 'round
blue lips,oh, cruel, love unkind.

a dark sinister love so deep
and intense, such was ours,
hidden in a denizen of darkness,
clandestine~backstreet bars.

on dim-lit corners,stealing a kiss
in alley ways to embrace
no disgrace,nor shame,
always in rain,
the same sneaking game
a love without any stars.

'hell hath no fury like....
so i would murder him again
and put the bullet in thrice
and not think twice in my head
'Alas my dark secret love
lies in dark crimson blood
yes, cruel love so dead.

I had to read the piece that beat out, "Scream for Ice cream" for third place in this contest. I can now see why, this is a fabulous piece and contains tons of visuals for something scribed one page in length. I think Scream may have been too long for this contest but with pieces like this running against it I'll have to do better than psychotic canabilistic clown to gross out the moderater.

Loved this. Reading it was like being in a laser light show, appealing to the ear and eye.

Whoa now this is a dark and twisted piece with a hint of seduction lying underneath... a bit different form the other stuff I read from oyu but I love this in so many ways.

as my lover's cold blood did run
in leaden rain drops died.

PERFECT! I called for writing to MOVE ME!! You caught me in the first stanza and held me close until the end! Well done! Good Luck in the contest!!!

Took me a while to catch on to your rhyme-tones and format but it didn't stop the flow hardly at all.

Amazing, you have my vote for sure!
