The calm is
almost eerie
as the silence
hangs in the air-
Quiet and looming
I walked into my home,
where was the staff,
the children at play, my dogs
to greet me
a stab of fear
tears into my heart.
NO
Quickly I run though
out the manor
and doubled my
fear by what I saw-
Struggle though out,
tattered and torn,
splatters of blood and
bits of gore-
I stopped almost
choking by
what I saw next,
what was left
of my youngest
child's dress-
Standing there
consumed by a pain
and rage so
great, I almost
went insane,
then I heard it
piercing out
in the dark-
A laughter, so deep
it reverberated
in my heart
it froze my

Literature
Dissection of Nigthmares
I
Buckle under
The pressure of floating hydraulics
Talk me into disturbance
(Sweet, sweet anemia
Thinning me into you)
II
Delicately speak another spider dance
Write poetry to me not in words
But in grains of sand
Deprivation brings
Sugar molasses asphyxiation
Hourglass claustrophobia
III
I drowned you under white veins
Heard that slow, expanding pop
Of your lungs bursting into needles
-- I watched your eyes float like
Sickened stars preserved in resin and saline
And pressed between insect pins
IV
Narcosis
Ill drink you
Your purple tongue swells
Into a Styrofoam aquarium
Narcosis
Ill feed
Sleep talks.
I feel numb, lying here, helpless.
Crows in the trees, in my nightmares, blackwinged they fly.
Wires.
Watching my every move, waiting, observing.
I walk through the forest, leaves crunching under my feet.
White mist. Fog.
Someone is coming, someone is caught.
You hear the screams, echoing through the trees.
Now I'm running, black shapes follow.
Waiting for the right moment to strike, and take me.
I don't see it coming, suddenly, everything is gone.
Smothered by black.
And reality, is opened by daylight.
You await till the night to awake and play
Up upon the churches sill
Your flapping wings give a windy chill
You look upon the town at night
The rain pours down as you take flight
Then the sun come's up, a holy light
You sheild your eye's as your body turn's stone grey....

Porcelain Shards, Love Potion
Porcelain A strand of hair Bits of skin
An alchemist was toiling in his lab, creating a doll to be his daughters companion. The alchemist, Adam, was a tall, slender man in his thirties, with a pale, masculine face and golden hair that was neatly combed back from his wide forehead. He was dressed in a buttoned white shirt, black breeches, and a green apron to protect his clothing. He was a well-respected, wealthy man whose wife died when she gave birth to their daughter, Cora, eleven years ago. At a young age, Cora broke her left leg when she plummeted from a tree, which left her as a cripple for life. In all

Nightengale's Golden Cage
Sir Bitter Wind lovingly strokes my cheeks
Departs with a never-ending line
I wish to sleep in a cemetery cradle
Shadows of candlelight gloom
Let their violins dance a forlorn melody for me
Nightingale in her golden cage
Blood notes resonating from silver traps
Glide in a ruby waterfall of life
Its droplets weeping in your hair
Wish this night would never die
Creatures, all cruel and glorious creations
The blade swings above them all
Each gem of temporary elixir an imaginary treasure
Worship the queen of clocks
She who transforms into the iron maiden in the tick of an arm
Nightingale in her golden cage
Blood notes resonating f
A Thousand Misfortunes by Poetic-Disturbance, literature
Literature
A Thousand Misfortunes
the Thousand Misfortunes of tortured souls
better known as demons destroying life
break strong men down 'til they're no longe whole
Them bring you down when you are on a roll
by your side Them stay, like a loving wife
the Thousand Misfortunes of tortured souls
the men who survive have hearts black as cole
what Them do is, when faced with so much strife
break strong men down 'til they're no longe whole
the price for freedom, none can pay the toll
Them cut through the mind. a well sharpened knife!
the Thousand Misfortunes of tortured souls
lost all dreams as they plummet down the hole
what is it Them do that keeps Them so blithe
Fallen trust
Is bringin' redemption
Me - opening eyes
You - blinded forever
Whispers behind
Screams to my ears
Chaotic nights
Have never been so solf
Rhythm of breaths
Means, that we are still alive
After cutting yourself
With tears and lies
I can already say -
I don't mind
Your own flame
Will burn you away
And if you cry - I don't mind
Devil's smothering you in his arms
And if you die - I don't mind
The Penalty Of Death by Poetic-Disturbance, literature
Literature
The Penalty Of Death
The bitter taste of blood and death
For those who are cast away to the world of damnation
Burn if you will
For i will claim your soul
Your rotten flesh with become one with the filth of this Earth
For you will suffer eternal damnation
Seek help if you wish and may
Thy will not help those who are sentence to the penalty of DEATH
Destruction becomes the path of many
Darkness consumes what is left
Shadows creeping before the night
Days replaced by nights
Truth replaced by lies
Deceit fill the souls of darkness
Spreading uncontrollably across the land of death
The Beast rises within
Destroying any sense of purity
Making all goodness obsolete
Leaving pure evil to rise from the soul of The BEAST
I chose to speak, scream, whisper and express my mind
Speak the lying truth through my loving hate
Scream the forbidden words amongst the people
Whisper the true meaning within its own
Expressing the misconception, lies, twisted truth of this forsaken world
I have been called corrupted, demented, a sinner
I've been crucified, yet never justified
In a sense, I'm deformed, scorned, yet reborn
All part of me though never one with me
Frankenstein fist to the heart
More life there in red pool
Than in living flesh.
You killed it.
Slashed it.
Love gnaws at broken skin
Sliced in every line you traced
Bleeding fountains from every ghost kiss
Burns from hot breath and steaming tongue.
There are no marks on you.
There were no marks on me.
I watch your back moving away.
Periodically taking a step back, just
To tease, just to rip another gash
In stained skin.
Fury bubbles, hatred induced
The worst kind.
Emotions might cloud judgement
But they fly a knife damn well.
Desire. You're a sucker for it.
Lust. A fuck.
Now that's your language.
Tie you to sweaty bed,
The haunting feeling in the darkest night,
Calls upon you with its touch of might.
The trees whispers in the graveyards path,
And will suck you down with its taunting wrath.
Piles of blood stained on the dead cold eyes,
Can make you dissapear with its night black lies
The dead walks along the crucifixed cross,
Our raped Messiah was the Devils loss.
Who the fuck cares if the light goes dark?
You will all soon sleep the endless dream.
A fire burns within me,
slowly consuming my sanity.
Encompassed with anger, hate, longing,
I seek fortune the only way I know.
I marvel at the reflection of light,
before itching at my anguish.
The ruby droplets twinkle,
as if taunting me with their beauty.
I place my weapon of destruction down,
with a shaky hand.
Staring at my creation
I slowly dwindle into nothingness.
Pure, sweet, nothingness.
Shadows dodging through night,
Darkness glinting in you mind,
Displacing reality and corrupting your vision.
Empty figures charging in the black,
Reaching for you with hollow steps,
Their beats are becoming stentorian.
Once, she
Lived here,
By the light.
But the night is a rush of pain,
Fear weighs her feet to the ground
As she struggles through the mud.
Aching whispers blow away her sanity,
As hers quicken in gasps,
Drawn from her heart.
She won't
Fight back.
Draw your swords.
Alloy shimmers and pings
In the moonlight and rain.
You hear their plan in the puddles.
Each drop, one ripple more,
Sharpening the mass to the co
