Scarlet Wedding Night,

Sitting in a room,
alone with no sound,
just a drip of a needle,
along with a clown,
wicked smile upon his face,
murderer with a sickened taste,
bloody hands,
darkness crams,
into his soul,
sentenced here,
for a lifetime of fear,
What was done,
to end up here?

He walked to my side,
and struck with all his might,
knocking to the ground,
my body with no sound,
blood rushing from my skin,
preparing for evil sin,
I stood with my pride,
this was one thing I was not about to hide,
my beautiful white dress,
that meant my wedding day was spent,
widow to be,
was longing for a ravengous eternity.

Knife so glaring and bright,
was soon to be darkness's site,
pulling from my corset,
what would soon be blood red,
delicate swirls,
patterned the blade,
all to add,
to the delicate pain,

Looking at that face,
that I once thought,
was too good to waste,
sickened at the way
clenching the knife with my blood coated hands,
Revenge was clear,
in my darkened blue eyes,
letting darkness come through,
I stabbed you with all my might.

His blood flowing thick,
over my hands,
I pulled out my knife,
to tell you good night,
Revenge was so sweet,
but my love, times done,
a darkened creature of night,
you lost your game,
that you'd began to play.
Kissing your cheek,
with whats left of cheep red lip stick,
leaving a mark on your bleeding heart.

Looking at my dress,
whiter than cream,
now had a scarlet sheen,
a revengeuous bride,
is to bid you goodnight,
roses of black,
is to live on,
with the blue eyes,
of a spirit,
in the scarlet night,
surrounded by a crescent's moonlight.

WOWIE Adri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all-wowie wow wow wow wow!!!!!!! Adri, I had no idea you had the evil muse in you, but you sure do!!! Some stunning stunning imagery. Now I know how people feel reading mine...kinda shocking really Lol. Awesome job though. welcome to the club of the evil muses, you little murderess you. lol. You just had the usual forgetting to capitilize some I's. you also plpuralized roses, the started the next line with "is". Properly, it should read "roses of black/are to live on." Otherwise an awesome poem, girl. Great job. Peace n Love Katie

Remind me to restrict my fights with you to paint, flowers

and feathers [weirdelf hides all pointy objects in the chatroom] Yes, very effective. You coined a word, revengous, but spell it ravengous the first time, poetic license? Like ravenning and revengeful? A couple of internal inconsistencies knocking to the ground...I stood with my pride, delicate pain? Sounds pretty agonising to me. Love the ending. If you don't want this sort of pernickety feedback just tell me to rack off. I suspect if your evil muse, Katies and mine got together they would be the Furies ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furies )and drive us and our readers mad. cheers, Jess Forever unwrapping the eternal present.
