Red Dragon by William Blake, image credit: en.wikipedia.org
Sing me your songs of sheer electricity
Set ablaze my synapses
And scorch earth right through of me
Tenderness lacking, the soul in full flight
Can feel no emotion
Just need in the night
My eyes shatter light in an open awakening
Transfiguring my heart
In the tumult, earth-shakingly
Grasping my hands and I’m led down this path
That has no true beginning
And no aftermath
Just let me bleed, as your need will intoxicate
I’m drunken on spirit fire
As you ravage, excoriate
Bend to your will without reason or choice
As my soul is thus damned
By the sound of your voice

A very dark poem I know, but for a wonderfully dark theme and prompt at mindlovemisery: http://mindlovemisery.wordpress.com/2014/02/16/prompt-43-supernatural-lust/

I enjoy the dark Helen and this –
Can feel no emotion
Just need in the night
this brought it home for me.
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
Deliciously dark Helen I just love that closing stanza, you nailed it!
Thanks so much!! 🙂
You capture dark very well Helen. i like the idea of being ‘drunken on spirit fire’. Well done.
Thanks! 🙂 🙂
Love the words you use in this piece, Helen; they lend themselves to the atmospheric emotion you create really well.
Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
Definitely dark, but really powerful. Even without knowing a demon is the subject, it sounds rather messy.
LOL, yes, messy is probably a good word for it!! 🙂 🙂
It would be totally cool to be listening to the radio one day, and suddenly hear this poem in the form of a song. 🙂 Even cooler if you could see people’s reactions…
Thanks Chris!! 🙂 🙂
Beautifully haunting.
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
I love your dark writings, Helen!
Thank you!!! 🙂 🙂
Gather the nerve to look beyond the veil and there awaits. not the fear with left behind, but the essence we seek! Nice writing Helen
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
Very dark, indeed. That closing stanza is killer.
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
