~~Poetry~~

In the shelter of foreboding
Darkest wings unfold
Angels here now gather
With darkest stories told
In these hellish places
Bloody tears are shed
Hope eternal fading
rivers all run red........
With the telling of each story
Cold shall settle over all
Such is now the ugly tale
of Lucifer's Pride and Fall
--mc.

Darkness gathers over me
the dark I have no fear
For you are my companion
forever always near
Your icy lips can't warm me
Your eyes can shed no tears
because of me you've gone to see
the Music of the Spheres.....
Before you left I took from you
a little souvenir
a kidney; your eye
(it's for a pie)
and (of course) and ear
I cut you up in pieces
just like a fat young sow
you said I'd never do it......
Well who is laughing now?
-mc.

"Often Rebuked, Yet Always Back Returning"
~Emily Bronte (1850)~
Often rebuked, yet always back returning
To those first feelings that were born with me,
And leaving busy chase of wealth and learning
For idle dreams of things which cannot be:

To-day, I will seek not the shadowy region;
Its unsustaining vastness waxes drear;
And visions rising, legion after legion,
Bring the unreal world too strangely near.

I'll walk, but not in old heroic traces,
And not in paths of high morality,
And not among the half-distinguished faces,
The clouded forms of long-past history.

I'll walk where my own nature would be leading:
It vexes me to choose another guide:
Where the gray flocks in ferny glens are feeding;
Where the wild wind blows on the mountain side

What have those lonely mountains worth revealing?
More glory and more grief than I can tell:
The earth that wakes one human heart to feeling
Can centre both the worlds of Heaven and Hell.

Lightning menacing the Earth.
The touch of rain piercing my body with indifference.
The resounding roar of thunder reminds me of my deepest fear.
Wind whispers enchantments to my soul.
Distracted windchimes foretell of an imminent realm of doom.
The portrait of darkness cascades the landscape.
Rolling tempers flare with fistful rage.
A funnel transcends time and space.
It's beauty
It's grace
It's death....

Inner light was something to be gained,
Hate had to be overcome,
Not everyone would understand who I was and where I was going.
Making a way in the world, trying to get along.
Living on the darker side of life.
I could be President,
a doctor,
a lawyer or anything for that matter,
but I will continue to make my mark on this world in a quiet kinda way.
For I'm just me,
and I'll continue to be,
living on the darker side of life.

~But Still I Cry...~

But still I cry...
I cry out for you
My heart bleeds for you
and my darkened soul aches for you.
My sun rises and my moon sets for you
My dreams come alive and my fears melt away for you.
For you,
I would sail oceans,
I would walk across deserts
For you,
I would die a thousand horrible deaths
For you,
I would take away your tears and blood
For you,
I would pledge my undying love for you
For you,
I would open the sky and denounce the planets
For you,
I will live...
But still I cry...
I love you forever...
Thats no lie.........

~Dark One From the Past~

How do you say all the things you want to say
to someone you've loved forever moves away
All the feelings, thoughts, and emotions coming back from the past
It was all done and said way too fast
Leaving those behind and trying to get over that somone
But just when you thought the battle has been won
Those feelings, thoughts, and emotions keep coming back.
I can't think of saying that last goodbye
The more I think about it, the more of you I miss
I've kept everything hidden deep down inside
Perhaps it's just to keep my pride
But the time has come to stop and start over.
But the feeling is there deep within,
I can't pretend
So confused about things said and done
I want to go away, just run
But something keep pulling me back to you.
Oh dark one from the past
Will this be forever,
will this love for you last
Oh dark one from the past
We've got to seize the day,
we've got to think fast
Oh dark one from the past
We can't go on like this,
go on into the open--vast
Oh dark one from the past

My heart has opened up to you
Take it and hold it gentle in your hands
Do not break it,
don't throw it away
for this is the first it has been released after death
and darkness haunted it hollow.
I care for you like no one else
Yet you turn away and hide
Opened up my life to you and gave you everything I had
Now don't take it and run
Don't take it and hide away,
love me.
I'd like to show my world to you
Open up and let you in
to see what's hidden deep within
Complex and fragile yet burning to be with you
I love you like no other
And that will never change.

When your miles away
I'll think of you still.
You're deep in my heart.
You'll stay there;
you will.
I'll never forget the times that we had.
The heartfelt discussions.
The good and the bad.
I'll never forget the confusion I felt,
The day I found out you were moving.
You didn't even tell me.
Being with you is a part of the past.
These words that I speak may be our last.
I reach out your hand
and you opened your heart
And whispered to you,
"This is only the start."
A love that I have for you,
no matter that your going away
can only get better.
Not crumble..
Not stray..
If two people were better for each other than us
God kept them for himself.
And that is a must.
For you are my love.
And I wish I was yours, too.
Lets make amends
our hearts are stuck to each other.
Just me
and
just you.

Never say you love me
Cuz for me love don't last forever
You don't deserve me;
I know that it's true
but I want you so bad--what do I do?
Day by day, nothing seems to change
but pretty soon everything's going to be different
without you.
I cry for the time
that you were almost mine
I cry for the memories
we've left behind
I cry for the pain,
the lost, old and new
I cry for the times
I thought I had you
Don't ask God to make life easier;
ask Him to give you the strength
to get through it
~*Princess of Darkness*~ Thanks Jenny!

--If Death is Kind--

Perhaps if Death is kind,
and there can be returning,
We will come back to earth some fragrant night,
And take these lanes to find the sea,
and bending Breathe the same honeysuckle,
low and white.
We will come down at night
to these resounding beaches
And the long gentle thunder of the sea,
Here for a single hour in the wide starlight
We shall be happy,
for the dead are free.
--Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

--Love and Death--

Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep,
And shall my soul that lies within your hand
Remember nothing, as the blowing sand
Forgets the palm where long blue shadows creep
When winds along the darkened desert sweep?
Or would it still remember, tho' it spanned
A thousand heavens, while the planets fanned
The vacant ether with their voices deep?
Soul of my soul, no word shall be forgot,
Nor yet alone, beloved, shall we see
The desolation of extinguished suns,
Nor fear the void wherethro' our planet runs,
For still together shall we go
and not Fare forth alone
to front eternity.
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

--What do I care?--
What do I care, in the dreams and the languor of spring,
That my songs do not show me at all?
For they are a fragrance,
and I am a flint and a fire,
I am an answer,
they are only a call.
But what do I care,
for love will be over so soon,
Let my heart have its say and my mind stand idly by,
For my mind is proud and strong enough to be silent,
It is my heart that makes my songs;
not I.
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

Insanity
If you believe it - it is true, no matter how insane.
Snowflakes look great,
but do not touch--
they bite.
God -
my absentee father
Mother earth -
my overworked mother
they gave birth to this evil child
- with power of destruction,
but also creation.
no guidance,
just signs of balance
that the child ignores
