Unforgiven


Scars line my body like stars
throughout the night.
The sky opens up to reveal

that the devil is real,
beautiful,
a fallen angel
who used to be gods favorite,

The one that guided me, now holding
the knife. My world changed
 with one incision, the pain
 no longer taking hold.

cursed,
nothing can save me.
I don't know
what I have done

Tainted


I drown in the blood
of destruction. Rejection
 haunts me during battle,
yet to have a victory.
 He lays on the cold
beach still trying
to fight me, never afraid
of anything.
My blood shot
eyes, haunting
in site, plan your death.
Old habits possessed
with horrific nature. Poison
lines my lips as I lean
in for a kiss, stealing
air from his lungs. I watch
him wither,
 lips stained with fire.
My hands raw with blisters
smoke guiding my way
as I crawl
from  the fight.
starting
a new story, with nothing
but ease.

Venom


Battle crys escape my throat
as I finally meet a worthy opponent.
the cuts run deep as his sward glides
across my skin, the blood
flows freely
as if drawn to him.

Mutilation.

My eyes never leave
him, unable to find the achelies
heal of his armor.
I wrap him in a ring of fire
trying to get free.
The flames reflect the gleam
in his eyes, a smirk
across his bloody face,
as he sinks an arrow
in my knee.

I fall from the highest tower,
only to drown in the sea.

Delusion


Ghosts of fallen soldiers
haunt me throughout time
their swords still pointed at me.

Charcoaled armor stained with blood

Rings of fire slowly fading

The dragon has always won,
its claws sink into flesh
scraping at the bone.

I just watch from the tower
knowing what's to come.

Abyss


She relishes in the sound of bones breaking like shattered glass
 that ricochets off blazing brimstone. Hell sets fire to the flesh left hanging
 on his bones, blood coursing down his swollen face. Screams haunt his ears
 because they are distant. Flickering torches line the surroundings, or is it the fiery pit
 of hell, where he will spend eternity branded,
at least for a little while. The smell of ash chokes
his lungs as he struggles to breathe, her eyes igniting
 russet. The heat kindles and smoke begins to rise
 as his searing body takes another round
 of Satan's sweet demise.

Black Ice


Lightning flashes as rain bounces on the window,

I close my eyes …

Only to wake up to lifeless,
darkness, stretching in front of me
like stained glass, light shattering all around,

but nothing concrete to be seen in this shadow land,

slipping through the cracks, I fall back into the black,
absorbing the bursts of light,
barely seeing at all

it has always been
the shadows vs. the colors,
the darkness
pulling away the light,

I embrace the burn of light as it comes,

even if only for a moment,
I forget I’m blind…
