POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Friends call me either Belle, Nyte or Queen of Darkness My Forte is Dark Poetry.
So you want to be a vampire...
So, you want to become vampires
To endure centuries of loneliness
To watch your loved ones die
Forsake what life has to offer you
Wanting to be cursed for all time
Foolish Mortals! Imbeciles!
Drags one of you punishingly by the arm
“So you want to see what it is to be a vampire?” “Alright, I’ll show you”
Hears a whimper escape their lips but ignores it
With a smirk of contempt I shift, not making a sound
Hearing them gasp brings a smile to my lips
Frantically they search, eyes opening wide, they start to run
Fangs...

Vampire Heart
Inspired by HIM's song Vampire Heart
For thousands of years I have roamed
Walked through this darkness alone
Centuries of souls haunt my past
Beating inside my vampire heart….
There’s no escape for what Ive become
This immortal life I have succumbed
Never again will I see the light of day
Doomed in darkness I live again
Amongst the shadows its time to hunt
Searching for blood to flow through these veins
A mortal heart I have long since possessed
Deceived my soul and died a horrible death
Beating inside this...
For thousands of years I have roamed
Walked through this darkness alone
Centuries of souls haunt my past
Beating inside my vampire heart….
There’s no escape for what Ive become
This immortal life I have succumbed
Never again will I see the light of day
Doomed in darkness I live again
Amongst the shadows its time to hunt
Searching for blood to flow through these veins
A mortal heart I have long since possessed
Deceived my soul and died a horrible death
Beating inside this...

If I could
I know your days are Grey
And there's nothing I can do
Wish I could make the sun shine again
Replace the darkness with light
In times of uncertainty I will be your strength
In times of falling I will be the hand that saves you
There's nothing I can say to take away the pain
Or make all the hurt disappear for you
But if there was I would take every scar, every wound
And bear it all on my soul so you can smile again
In times of uncertainty I will be your strength
In times of falling I will be the hand that saves you
I know your...

Or make all the hurt disappear for you

Lifeless Doll
A lifeless doll am I.
Locked in a cage without a soul
Chained to my emotions with no key
Forever trapped myself, within
Locked in a cage without a soul
Chained to my emotions with no key
Forever trapped myself, within

That of a Vampire
Night turns into Day
Day turns into Night
But the one thing that never ages
Is my body, that of a Vampire
My soul is damned
Banned from ever crossing
The path set to Heaven
Darkness never ends here
In the pits of Hell
Where the Light has cursed us
The moonlight sending it’s chill
Night turns into Day
As daylight
Escapes our clutches
Rest beckons
We must succumb to its call
Day turns into Night
But the one thing that never ages
Is my body, that of a Vampire
My soul is damned
Banned from ever crossing
The path set to Heaven
Darkness never ends here
In the pits of Hell
Where the Light has cursed us
The moonlight sending it’s chill
Night turns into Day
As daylight
Escapes our clutches
Rest beckons
We must succumb to its call

Dark Art
Blood oozes from hanging flesh
Calved more then once by blades
Marking each with their own shape
Distinguishing them from other victims
Carefully laid on a white canvas
Unique to this masterpiece created
Gently laying out pieces of skin
Splashing them with crimson red
A smile plays across his mouth
Tongue licking lips with anticipation
For when he can show the world his art
Calved more then once by blades
Marking each with their own shape
Distinguishing them from other victims
Carefully laid on a white canvas
Unique to this masterpiece created
Gently laying out pieces of skin
Splashing them with crimson red
A smile plays across his mouth
Tongue licking lips with anticipation
For when he can show the world his art

Oily Fingers
Crimson Roses fall like rain
Swimming in a sea of darkness
Wilting into a pool of black ink
Flowing for the demons to drink
Souls of the damned reach out with oily fingers
Trying to grasp onto slippery stones and failing
Only to tumble further down deeper into despair
Swimming in a sea of darkness
Wilting into a pool of black ink
Flowing for the demons to drink
Souls of the damned reach out with oily fingers
Trying to grasp onto slippery stones and failing
Only to tumble further down deeper into despair

Behind many faces
Behind many faces
A fake mask hides
Then it starts to crack
Revealing true forms inside
Behind their painted lips
Lies drip from loose tongues
Where fake smiles are sewed on
Shadowing truth behind closed eyes
Behind this masquerade
Deceiving faces on parade
Who wears their true mask
And who plays a charade
A fake mask hides
Then it starts to crack
Revealing true forms inside
Behind their painted lips
Lies drip from loose tongues
Where fake smiles are sewed on
Shadowing truth behind closed eyes
Behind this masquerade
Deceiving faces on parade
Who wears their true mask
And who plays a charade

Spaces, Rooms and Fading Light
Pale, but not a shadow stirs upon the walls
Black, but no crows call out in the darkness
Silence, nothing whispering into the wind
Void, a soundless, colorless empty room
Echoes, ghosts surrounding locked spaces
Purgatory, the door between life and death
Sacrifice, giving up what you cannot have
Eternity, a bond alone or with loves grace
Darkness, is blindness and the light that fades
Black, but no crows call out in the darkness
Silence, nothing whispering into the wind
Void, a soundless, colorless empty room
Echoes, ghosts surrounding locked spaces
Purgatory, the door between life and death
Sacrifice, giving up what you cannot have
Eternity, a bond alone or with loves grace
Darkness, is blindness and the light that fades

Gothic Beauty
In the absence of tranquility
Bewitch me in nights embrace
Grace thy beauty by candlelight
By Silence of sentimental night
Dreary shadows cast upon thee
Possessing my souls captivity
Gentle lady speak not of thoughts
Nor of the flame you hold so dear
Gothic beauty of the night
Bewitch thy soul by candlelight
Bewitch me in nights embrace
Grace thy beauty by candlelight
By Silence of sentimental night
Dreary shadows cast upon thee
Possessing my souls captivity
Gentle lady speak not of thoughts
Nor of the flame you hold so dear
Gothic beauty of the night
Bewitch thy soul by candlelight

She walks in death
She walks in death, like wilted roses
Of soulless statues and abandoned tombs
And all that’s evil of night and day
Meet in her darkness and her dead eyes
Thus has not mellowed, her vengeful light
Which hell to gaudy night denies
One shade more the pitiful lies
Had half impaired her nameless grace
These waves in every golden tress,
Hiding the hideousness o’er her face;
Where thoughts express her sorrow
How impure, unclean dwelling in that secret place
And on that cheek, and o’er her scarred face
Once soft, so calm yet...
Of soulless statues and abandoned tombs
And all that’s evil of night and day
Meet in her darkness and her dead eyes
Thus has not mellowed, her vengeful light
Which hell to gaudy night denies
One shade more the pitiful lies
Had half impaired her nameless grace
These waves in every golden tress,
Hiding the hideousness o’er her face;
Where thoughts express her sorrow
How impure, unclean dwelling in that secret place
And on that cheek, and o’er her scarred face
Once soft, so calm yet...
