a pale moon rising
stars glistening
in pools of ebony light
yet in me
there lies an unease
a phoenix waiting to take flght.
a soul that cannot be captured
a heart surrounded by thorns
a wall built so high for protection
an emptiness that forever mourns.
come to my web if you dare
said the goth to the fly
i will rip out your heart
and mess with your head
and when i am done
feasting upon your flesh
you will no longer wish to survive.
for i am the thoughts
that torment your brain
fill your body with lust
chaining your heart
however insane
to another
made from dust.
i am the one
breaking the rules
of thoughts that never should be spoken
i am the one
whos twisted and bad
damaged goods that remain
eternity broken.

Take me as I am
Or take nothing at all
Conditioned by my environment
To fight or flght or just take the fall

Prisms of light encompass the sin
Rays of flame burn my flesh, such agony
Yet here I stand, daring the worst
Causing temporary blindness, butnow I can see.

You seem unapproachable when you so desire
The pain will subside, as you severe my esteem
But that's ok, I've been through worse.
I'll take another one for the teame.

Wish you could truly understand, I am real
Every disaquise and camoflage I use to guard my heart you see
I've been so wounded in the past
And for me, only the true, I can truly be.

So will you risk it?
Or is there too much at stake?
Why do you lurk beneath the shadows?
If I let my walls fall, will my heart break?

You are so beautiful to me
Even if you don't believe it
I couldn't hurt you even if I wanted to
Open your eyes to the true love you can get.
Qualyxian Quest May 2020
The warrior poet and the madman
Both take flght and attack

But only one can patiently wait
Then return and come on back

I am patiently waiting
I place my faith in words!

Sing in me, O Muse!
Susan, have you heard?

Poems can pierce like arrows
The arrogant Absurd

Even when the poet
Is at times a geeky nerd

One for Florida
One for Friendship
For your beauty - a thrilling third!
