My poetry.

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Marionette

Because of you...
I have no will of my own
No sense of self
No identity....

I just dance as
Your whims control me
On your spiteful puppet strings

The demon under my flesh is
Ripping
Screaming
Biting
Clawing
Scratching
All because of you
The Puppet Master.

Yearning to break free
Are you ready to fight
The beast inside?
Now that the strings
Are broken.

 

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Two Voices

You look at me...
I look away.
You change again.
I hate you now
That I start to fear you.

~I'm watching you, my Dear
But you hate the truth
And it's to late for you to change.~

I cannot see
What I am blind to is you.

~Don't look at me,
You cannot see
The truth behind the change.~

You raise your hand
To hold me close,
And I flinch as you grow closer.
What am I afraid of now?

~I cannot reach you now.
What we are
And were...
Destroyed us.~

Good-bye...

~And Farewell...~

 

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

No Longer Broken.

Wrapped in shadows
Merging with the Darkness
In my heart
And in my soul.

Spider webs
Stitch the flesh together
In a patchwork skin.

This death is nothing more,
Than the rebirth of the girl
You killed.

 

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Ebony.

My mind so dark and obscure,
You look through
Opens eyes
Like crystal clear.

Why?
How can you see inside me?
You are so different from the others?

You cannot touch the cold flesh.
You cannot cry in front of the corpse.
The last kiss, lost in words...
Whispers fill the air.

Who are you?
How did you find me?

I love you
Will the darkness part,
And let me see you beauty.
Let me rest my hand on your cheek.
Let me see you.
The way you see me?

 

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Trembeling

My hands are shaking
As I am cast aside
Beaten and bruised.

You hate her
Yet, you claim you love me...

We were best friends,
Sisters...
Twin spirits.
The same in every way.

We made the same mistakes,
And again you feel your hate.
You ask questions with no answer.
And beat us till we bleed,
When we have nothing to show.

Don't do this.
We are not to blame.

You are.

 

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Counting Hours.

I sit here...
Counting the hours
To my demise

This angel tattooed on my flesh
Sings the funeral hymns...

The Furies that chase me
So violently before,
Drop their whips
And whisper prayers...

Why are you kind,
At the moment of my demise?

When you wanted the most,
To count the hours,
Before I die...

I know you won't mourn.  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Watching. Waiting.
He sits there...
Silently watching...
Waiting for me...

Every flaw
Every mistake
He knows
And more...

And I can never lie to him.
You can never lie to his kind.

He waits for the day we'll meet.
I stand exposed,
His eyes removing everything,
Ripping away the spikes,
The chains,
The black cloth...

And as he takes my hand
And looks at the ring
I will be free from the evils
But he will always watch.  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Ravens.

Oh those wretched,
Fleeting ravens...
Flying in flocks from my tired mind
From pen to paper
Drop their inky feathers
Words of raven minds...
With sharp eye and quick beak
The damned birds pluck
The poems from my mind's eye
And scatter my words
Like funeral ashes
Off their Ravens' wings...  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Forbidden Fruit.

Come here and take my hand....
Look into my dark eyes
Past the pain and remorse,
Past the fear and recollections...
Into the dark pools of unknown
Open my mind and my heart
And step into the darkness
To slay the dragons that are my fears,
Break the chains cutting me...
Save me from myself

And when I fall...
Catch me and taste the forbidden fruit
That are my lips....  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Silence.

I lie awake
In night's serenity
Breathing the silence as if it were air
Filling my lungs and mind
Ideas flooding in a blur
I gasp and try to make them clear

Hopes, dreams,fears...
Friends, enemies, loved ones lost..

And I wonder
Who I am is not what I see
So who is it that is truly me?
What are the truths I hear?
Can they really be true?

And I know...
The silence is the only one I can trust
My secrets will never escape
This still air that creates the wondering....  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Graveyard Soil.

It wells inside me,
Icy cold and filthy
Dirty with the soil of a hundred graves
Mixed with the ashes of a thousand tombs
Floating off the burning bodies
It courses through my veins
I am dead...
Yet, I am alive....  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Celestial Dance.

Steady drum beats...
Wailing voices...
Perfect symmetry
For the great circle
We dance the paths of circles round
Each dancer a symbol of our greater model
As we spin and move to the rhythms of the heavens above
You catch my eye...
I dance and spin in my own path,
A star of blazing gold and crimson
You pass me in your orbit
And dance away in the opposing direction
Dark and solemn....
You nod in a silent greeting
And they you are gone...
I cannot stop to find you
But cast my eyes to the Universe
And wonder...
When will our paths cross again?  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Latin King.

You are my Latin King,
The one with the glorious Green.
They all tell me you are bad,
But they don't know
I am worse than you....
They love the lie and don't see the truth,
You are an angel,
And I am Lucifer.
I command you....
Return and reap your reward,
My Angel Prince of Kings,
I give to you and I must receive.
I never wanted your love,
I wanted Green.  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Blood and Tears.

You sit silent
Waiting...

I look away
But I can't resist.
I look into your dark eyes,
I try to smile but you don't blink.
I look down and my feeble attempt fades
And I whisper...
"I thought I loved you...."

But you don't hear me
You never did.
You'll never know
As a single tear falls from my eye
And onto your picture

Held in my bloody hands...
Crimson liquid dripping from my slit writs,

I know you were never really there.  

[MerrickTheDarkOne]

Consume Me.

It spreads through my veins,
Like seeds sown in my soul...
Burning and boiling...
Toiling...Troubling....
But alas my hate has no Shakespearean end.
Where lovers die in each others arms,
And tragedies are true.

You bend the realities and point you knives...
To scrape away every little bit of humanity from my soul,
Are you trying to make space for the hate?

You say the words that make me scream inside.
The little lies mixed in that seem to true.
I want to hurt you...so badly
It's hurting me.

In my nightmares
You eat my flesh,
Ripping tissue off my bones...
Have your taste now,
Because I will never follow you to hell.
You have already trapped me here.
In my personal torture chamber,
You'd love to hear me cry...
And scream till blood runs cold.

You will die.
And I will be the one to take your life.
And no one else will suffer,
Under the tyranny of your thoughts....
