[hometext] => I wrote this a few years back, decided to share it with you.
[bodytext] => Hung in the dark gallery with care Is a picture exquisitely rare Eyes seem to follow with a haunting stare The back of your mind says to beware A true depiction of elegance A lady of grace in every sense Anonymous artist left in silence The painting's mere presence makes you tense You cannot even sleep with it near Reaching deep down it pulls out your fear You can't resist, you longingly obsess You can't overcome her petrifying caress All who have gazed upon it have died Each one a victim of suicide Love it or hate it you can't decide One look will bring out all that you hide Don't walk by in the dark or alone Her hand reaches out, you're frozen like stone Deep feral fear struck down through your bones As you are dragged down into the dark zone You cannot even sleep with it near Reaching deep down it pulls out your fear Taken to planes beneath the veneer She feeds on the agony and the tears Nose to nose and face to face Into the dark and past her grace Tension builds, your heart will race Fright goes by at a frantic pace Whatever it is that you hate That's what you're gonna see Hand comes to life, pulls you through the gate Gonna live your misery If water is what you hate Then you're sure to drown If you're afraid of spirits Then off to a ghost town If fire is what you fear Then you'll surely burn If you have disdain for life Then at death you'll surely return So don't walk by in the dark or alone Her hand raches out, you're frozen like stone Deep feral fear struck down through your bones As you are dragged down to the dark zone You cannot even sleep with in near Reaching deep down it pulls out your fear You can't resist, you longingly obsess You can't overcome her petrifying caress You cannot even sleep with it near Reaching deep down if pulls out your fear Taken to planes beneath the veneer She feeds on the agony and the tears [comments] => 6 [counter] => 255 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Vitreous_Soul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
