Wretched Heart
Written by deadwolf
Poem Published 10th May 2017 5:52pm
~,,~` the single moment
Of a wretched heart
Carelessly watching
Dozing off, into slumber
my looks,
and eyes of sight,
Cascaded into oblivion
In a house of madness,
Into the void, descending like flies
In the single moment
That which was happy
Turned into the grey
In the single moment
Of my wretched heart

Poem Published 9th May 2017 9:02am
`~,,~` And but for bramble and broken stone
Here I lay, among the dead things
Underneath moss and bone,
Fearing that which comes to take me
To take me further, and further
Down below
Where cruel ones wait
Tumbling forward
Slothful, vengeful, malcontented
vile monsters of ash and hate
There is sulfur in the stale air
And gloom now surrounds me
And though I know my heart falters to failure
I still fear
And cringe at that which is before me
Layered in soot and black ash
Ringed in the most unholy of countenance, ...

Further Below: I
Written by deadwolf
Poem Published 9th May 2017 8:59am
~,,~` And but for bramble through broken bones
moss covered trees and paths
where I am laid,
underneath
In areas of black stone, I am laid;
Laid out quietly among dead things
Among plots and moss covered graves,
I lay,
Here, in my quiet
Cool dark forgotten ways
And into the cities down below
I now feel I must go,
And leave behind that which once held me
Dear and sacred, as once precious stones
Under trees, and under paths
They wind and take me
Further below
Further below
Further below,
I feel...

WELCOME TO THE PANOPTICON
Written by ashbymcgowan
Poem Published 2nd November 2016 7:50am
A few years ago the Merchant City Festival sponsored conFAB to commission some performance poets to write pieces about important Historical Buildings. I was chosen to write about (and perform in) The Panopticon. The Panoptican is an old Theatre that needs re-building. Stan Laurel had his first show there. It is said to be haunted. I wrote about the Freak Circus that used to be held there. All performances were sound checked. For some “unknown” reason my performance in the haunted Theatre has a strange noise in the background. Thanks to conFAB for permission to re-use this poem. For some...

Forever with this curse - zombie poem
Written by MrHorrifying
Poem Published 9th October 2016 1:59am
My mortal soul is hollow Fresh blood is hard to swallow
The taste of iron runs down my throat
But there is always tomorrow
I put the handgun down
But not without a frown
What could've should've been
Lies deep under the ground
The depressing thoughts are quicker
Than my alcohol doused liver
I go back to sleep in the study
And dream I didn't pull the trigger
I awoke six feet deep
From this eternal sleep
Bound to this hell forever
I begin to weep
This ancient dark world
A nightmare for my soul
Suddenly the...

I can feel it crawling underneath my skin
Written by MrHorrifying
Poem Published 6th October 2016 1:19am
I can feel it crawling under my skin The itching yet again soon begins
They're back! This time with a vengeance!
These little fuckers fucking endless
The doctor says I'm crazy
Crazy? Crazy... Me crazy?!
His old crippled ass mind is hazy
The diagnosis was lazy
It's worsening by the minute
My skin! There's something in it!
I grab a knife and begin to slice
Get out of my skin! I promise I'll play nice
Cutting... cutting
Itching,,, itching
Bleeding, bleeding,,, bleeding
Skinless I stand
but aw... I feel much better
Bright blood...

Mommy, I'm Scared of the Man in the Closet
Written by MrHorrifying
Poem Published 30th September 2016 2:06am
Mom...Mommy... I'm a scared of the man in the closet," cried son.
She replied, "Don't be frightened hon.
That's Mr. Horrifying...soon it will be done."
She held him close to her chest, to her breast,
as she smothered him to death.
"Life is about dying so dry your tears
and stop your cyring."
They found her pushing him on a swing
Never seeing,.. Never seeing
The demons she's been dreaming
Her cold soulless eyes terrifying
"Beware of Mr. Horrifying."

HEAVY
Written by gazellemon
(Brad)
Poem Published 4th August 2016 1:33pm
Back like I never left, Another step
To get this pressure up off my chest,
So Stress me and test me,
Like the Wild West but I am blessed who could ha guessed,
Don’t mess with me not yet I don’t give a fuck,
Stuck here with thief’s, rapists, and murderers,
I am lyrical sorcerer for sport,
Snorting, support importing,
Court reporters sorting,
Resort to extorting,
Should have aborted the stork before ignoring the warnings
So now I put in Work every morning,
Hording my rewards
Recording the glory
I am a lord you should have avoided me,...

Myth of the mantis
Written by AEMelia564
(Y)
Poem Published 29th July 2016 4:48pm
Praying mantis smiles at me when she crushes open
Wings of time, and neon rainbows
open skies, it is for Life, She cries
Murmering "murder" singing dark
mantras of Love , woven around
Her deep undying heart
Vampiric eruptions twirled
Luscious tones awaken
Her serpentine tongue slithering
From bone, to bone, sliding
across the spinal chord
I am Her prey

The Aftermath
Written by Westley-Nash
Poem Published 27th July 2016 5:41pm
I'm trying to face the fact that I can't put this off any longer, it's time to accept the truth that you're gone. I'm convincing myself it's for the best, that I'm just putting your things away for safety, discarding only that which you will no longer need.
But every single item I touch holds a memory of when we were together; you in that chair drinking from this same cup.
& so the boxes still rest empty as I sit alone, surrounded by your life; because I just feel like I'm throwing you away...
