Excerpt One:
She Welcomes the Darkness While Wandering the Destructive
Halls of Hell
Wrapped in her cloak of skulls and crossbones
Look in her eyes, lose yourself in their depths, You’ll
experience her long forgotten fights, Her constant battles, but be wary of her
strength, For she battles her demons all through the nights.
Look closely and you’ll see her torment swirling the
surface, As the demons write their names, etched into her bones, She welcomes
them into her soul through the darkness, As she is wrapped in her cloak of
skulls and crossbones.
Her soul is the blood drenched battleground, trampled By
haunted ghosts of torment and screaming wiles, A graveyard of broken and
forgotten stories of her life, Tales of her gory survival, hidden behind
guileless smiles.
She is in her element as she wraps herself in midnight,
Becoming one with the darkness inside and out, Broken apart by the moon glow,
causing her to howl, Listening for her brokenness as she screams her doubt.
In turn, she carves her name on certain tombstones, Cradling
the haunted cries of her past love as it dies, She reduces herself to the ashes
for those who hurt her, Giving the phoenix her wings, allowing it to rise.
She knows she has been forgotten, a whim at most, As they
scurry from her path, hiding behind their rock, She is born of starlight,
somewhere far from her world, Lost, unable to find her home, pain her stumbling
block.
The storm keeps her company, at one with her turmoil, She
knows it’s the only friend she can ever trust, Its honesty is its own
destructiveness for full disclosure, Forgoing the need to lie, pretension of
love and lust.
The more I watch, the more I realise she is broken and lost,
As she starts to become one with the darkness, the shadow, Choosing to move
further from the star that she was born into, Meandering through the halls of
hell, cradling her deathblow.
She endeavours to merge with her hellfire demons, Preferring
the numbness, the desire to torture and kill, It calms her eternal fires, her
raw and bloody chaos, While she makes love to the evil and depraved at will.
