Under the black lights,
Nobody lives, nobody writes
Of life aside the tortured hive
Seen bloody smears from hallowed fights.
Under the black lights:
The targets set to those with whites.
The pure, whose love is slashed above
The bloody drops from ancient fights.
Under the black lights
Hides the dark, dispensing bites
Like candy games to children's names
In bloody lines from sordid fights.
Under the black lights
The evil lives, excites, ignites;
The only one to find its fun
In bloody streaks from wicked fights.
Under the black lights,
Nobody lives, nobody writes
Of all the whites, of all their plights
From bloody darks who end those fights.
I doubt I'll edit this one, but I may add to it, eventually. Started out as a poem about me...I think it still is, just in a different way than I'd intended it to be. Still, the best poems are usually the ones that get away from you. :)
An attempt to be clever
Is no closer than ever
Than ever I’ve witnessed before.
The turning of phrases
Are twisted in phases
Found bottled in pages of lore.
They catch me with tear drops
Before cold-hearted fear mops
The rest of me off of the floor.
The books encompass me
While words, they harass me,
Coax me to beg them for more.
~Sorcha
