As I dwell in the burrow rotting, dying, and suffering but deep within, there’s a rope reaching the hollow.
Reach forth into pain and agony—perhaps you are the remedy.
I’d be in 16th century forgetting thee like we are etched in latin poetry.

I would perform sorcery just to have a glimpse of you and me
Neither spells nor poetry are enough to prove but rather Salem’s trial will be your testimony: you've bewitched me.

None may hear thy hymn, yet it echoes deep within.
Chant of the weak, unheard and grim Hear thy alluring rhythm — accept one’s altruism.

Millions of lifetimes, I’d rather be back in a period of millennia—clandestine affairs under the moonlight of Lupercalia.
If all be thy Judas, I shall be thy Saint Longinus.
Divine will, pure and ill—chant thy prayer, and hear my will.
Every church you desecrate, I hinder none, and wander forth to witness me hanged and desolate.

My phantom came to me, a situation so unforeseen.
This dark romance is putting me under some type of trance.
His voice so deep like a thunderstorm. I'll happily breathe him in like he is chloroform.
His eyes so dark like the ocean sea, never do I want to wake up from this fantasy.
He is now everything to me, this spell I never want to break free.
This mysterious phantom, I will do anything for him.
He is craving his way into my heart, mind, body, and soul. He has taken complete utter control.

My love, my obsession, my life, my addiction.
My Phantom.

Your fingers begin where words are lost,
tracing slow fire along my skin,
like a whisper, like a promise,
like a prayer only my body understands.

The night hums between us, heavy, electric,
breath tangled with breath,
heat curling at the edges of restraint,
a war we no longer wish to fight.

You taste me like sin, like surrender,
lips parting against mine,
pulling me deeper into the gravity of you,
where the world ceases,
where nothing else matters.

Your hands speak in languages older than time,
lifting, pressing, claiming,
drawing sighs from the depths of me
that only you have ever known.

And then—
bodies collide, slow and aching,
hips meeting in a rhythm carved into the universe,
moans swallowed by open mouths,
by shuddering breath, by the urgency of need.

You bury yourself where I am soft,
where I am fire, where I am yours.
And I let you in, deeper, deeper,
until I no longer know where I end and you begin.

And when we fall—together, undone—
it is not an ending, but a beginning,
a creation, a devotion, a worship,
where love is made, and souls are bound.

Once untouched—so pure, so free,
A whispering breeze, light as the sea.
But with one soft push, I lost my ground,
No longer floating, drowning in emoting.

Chained in the shadows, longing to flee,
Trapped in love’s gallows, with no escape to be.

I am afraid of you
I am afraid of what you can make me do
Your touch can weaken my legs
You grab me by the throat my heart skips and leaps
You whisper in my ear
The warmth of your breath sends chills down my spine
Your words make my stomach turn

I am so very afraid of you
Knowing that every act betrays all that I am
And still, I can’t sleep tonight  anticipating you

I am afraid of you
I don’t know what I feel. I just know I have never felt it before
I know I have never been so free under your control

I sat beneath the willow tree, forlorn at life's love lost
A hooded man came up to me, with smile like winter's frost
Why child do you cry so much, he began his inquisition
His demeanor was unsettling and gave me deep suspicion

Emily, oh Emily, has left me high and dry
I expounded sadly, as tears formed in my eye
He laid a skeletal hand upon my sobbing shoulder
He looked at me with awful glee, and I lost my composure

What horrid wicked cruel thing do you have to say?
Oh, poor dear boy, a piece of advice to help you through today
You think of love,
You think it's sweet,
A wondrous thing,
Makes you complete,
You have romance,
But dear boy I entreat,
Consider this...
You dear sweet boy...
Earthly insect child...
You are all,
Raw meat
Not much to say about this one, other than existentialism bites.

When can I go home.?
I gave up everything to be with you,
Now the days have become longer.

I trained myself to love you,
And now I’m slowly watching,
As you change me into your puppet.

I always knew it would end up this way,
Your hands squeezing my throat,
While caressing my head,

I know I’ll never leave,
This place has become much too comfortable,
Besides, I forgot what the outside smells like..
Late night feels.

On the top of a river lays a woman,
A woman who plunges,
She plunges into the depths of the river, waves and oceans.

On a particular day she plunged into the ocean,
After something she loved so dearly,
A treasure she would give anything to keep.

She dove into the ocean,
Swimming down, down, down.
The deeper she went after the treasure,
The darker it got.

She felt something,
Something swam around her,
Closing in on her.
Never the less she kept swimming,
Down, down, down.

She felt the fingers of her treasure,
Her beloved was right there.
She looked at his peaceful face,
Keeping the image in her head.

How can she not?
She loved him, she couldn't ever leave him.
Not now, not ever.

"Oh please, please stay with me."
She cried out in her head,
"Please, don't leave me here alone."

She pulled him close as she kicked off of the sandy bottom,
Only now did it strike her,
How could she swim all the way down to the bottom of the ocean?
Was she already dead?

She shook her head,
"I can worry about that later,"
She told herself, keeping her goal in mind.
"I need to save him.."
She held him to the side kicking and pushing the water with only one side.

As she reached the near surface what she felt had disappeared around her,
What was it?
She reached the surface of the ocean,
Kicking out of the water she flicked her hair back,
Her breathing was rapid, she couldn't feel it though.

She swam to the shore with her beloved on her back,
Laying him down on the sand, she revived him.
Hearing him cough up the water he had taken in,
Was music to her ears.

He looked at her confused,
"I love you my darling."
She whispered to him,

He took her hand and held it sitting up,
She cupped his cheek, realising the one thing she thought he was doing.
It wasn't him whom was leaving her...

It was her leaving him.
This is my first published poem, I'm feeling quite good about this so please try not to be mean about it. I realise this seems a bit odd but it's what I came up with listening to something called 'The Isle Of The Dead' on YouTube.

I am
Long hair and swinging hips
With natural pouty lips
A smile that hides my intellect
A piercing gaze you can't forget

I am
Long legs with large soft thighs
With yellow flecked eyes
The sweetest of your dreams
The nightmares that evoke screams

I am
The girl with the skull tattoo
Who wants more too
The bringer of your pain
Who only wants the same.

I am
She who died inside
Until you made me rise
Loosely inspired by Maya Angelou's "I Rise"
