The Suicidal's Dance

The Suicidal's Dance

A Poem by Tai Ryens
"

Dance along with suicide and join the damned~

"

Sweet cyanide is injected from a syringe;

burning ecstasy jolting through frozen veins:

agonizing relief provided by Hades singe;

encouraging a laugh that is oh, so insane.


Or perhaps the rope tickling my throat

will enlighten my life no matter how hard I persist:

nevermore owning a hefty husk to tote

scarred by gashes from where a devil licked my wrists.


{Lovely day for ascension into heaven, is it not?

that is, until the hurricanes suddenly clouded the skies:

is this form of departure absolutely what I sought?

chasing a heaven concealing its lies?}


Eternal frolicking is now engraved into my bones;

stomping on flames is quite the deceitful sight:

more so that I do not trample candles alone;

attracting plenty more prey to dance forever with the light.

Indeed.
Your writings are always so dark, but for some reason it never depresses me, which I think is a good thing! You're excellent at portraying feelings through your words, making the sad emotions almost beautiful, rather than a disgusted distortion of grim times. Great work.

Baby Ricochet's got something the devil can lick. First two stanza's are pretty cool Tia. That doesn't mean the last two blow though. It's all good baby

Not appealing?! Seriously?!

To be honest, this blew my mind. I love the language you use and your writing technique. It's so refined, but at the same time, so natural...
