Bury My Heart With Demons

By Stormcomin

These shadows fill my dreams
To nightmarish extremes
Giving birth to my death upon calling
Then on wings I arise
In a fiery disguise
Spitting hate at my corpse below crawling

Of horror I am born
In cold flesh I am sworn
Screaming laughter in verses of terror
With eyes that bleed tears
Of depression and fears
Despising the breath of God's error

Punish me wholly for the sins I have known
Pummel my soul with a quarry of stone
Bleed me with blades that shear hope from the bone...

...and bury my heart with demons

    you have very impressive skills. as eloquent and intricate as poetry should be with deep and well concieved content. i also really liked the rhyme scheme. rhyming kicks ass.

    ooh, impressive metre! I especially appreciated that you didn't get 'stuck' in one form of rhyme scheme, but nor did you chop and change needlessly, thus losing effect. Very well written piece; reads like a dark chant somehow. Welcome to DP. :)

    I reiterate...The subject matter while not appealing to me personally, has been well written and eloquently expressed...There is much talent here...
