The Other Side. by Mynd44: 10:00pm On Dec 26, 2014 |
A song played in my head today. A song which is the sound track for the movie "Queen of the damned" Try to take my fame. That's fatal Try to take my name. But that's fatal Bite through the jugular vein. That's fatal!!!. Yeah, this is going to be a collections of poetry from "The other side" Oh, don't be scared. They are merely poems. |

Silver turned black The night stars vanish The wind gets icy cold And the silence prominent The air is loosed And there is peace(?) all over Doors all locked Windows shut Hearts dampened Fear prominent And the first drop of rain touched The sweet smell of dust and water The lack of interference The perfect serene neighborhood They fear in the air And the rain The night creature steps out of the forest Feeding is it's game Death the result Entropy the inevitable And souls the food Frozen thoughts in the huts around Evil moves in the bush around The fear they nurse now them surrounds The hope of survival the innate motive The creature keeps walking Death is its nickname No jokes about it No stories either Too evil for legends An urban legend to scary to be told Been killed a hundred times Attacked a thousand times more the creature survives Terror it's business Soul feeding its goal Here comes the monster that plagues the village It sniffs the houses Trying to find the souk which smells most delicious. When you have a whole buffet to pick from You might as well go for the best Kids tastes best But adults might do sometimes. It takes 5 steps and looks at the sky Even the stars seem to hide from it. Its nose call it. Yes they prey has been found. Breaks into the house it does Amidst screams of scared inhabitants. Its walks slowly as they keep shouting It finds what called it A little child barely a week old. Innocence is so sweet Blood uncorrupted by the world. Dinner has been found The creature will feed. And it feeds there and then This is its prize The village is his and the people.....food 2 Likes |

Thud thud thud Metal meets flesh Thud thud thud The butcher goes to work Thud thud thud His nicely sharpened blade says Thud thud thud Blood sips away Thud thud thud Flies perch on the flesh Thud thud thud Food for some folks Thud thud thus He removes the arm Thud thud thud He takes out the intestines Thud thud thud He chops off the legs Thud thud thud Nice good meat Thud thud thud Tender succulent fat Thud thud thud He recalls her screams before she dies Thud thud thud Its his wife Rebecca Thud thud thud And her lover Sunny Thud thud thud Food for some folks Thud thud thud Don't betray the butcher 2 Likes |

Bloodshot eyes Clenched fists A job at hand To make them handless Harness their hate Awaken the beast High on gunpowder Friends of no one Loyalty bought with pain Ending life the pain They fear neither death nor injury They take live to prove their worth They are the story we all love to ignore The reality we strive to hide The pain of our past The scourge of the earth Armed with machetes Even though guns are available Intimate death is enjoyable to them Personally watching the life snuffed out That's what gets then high They are the infantry. Yes literally The infant warriors Barely old enough to be out of the house But these ones have killed their own parents Killed them they did All to prove their worth The infantile The only ones without conscience Blood they have become used to Gore their sport Amputation their specialty Dont call them life's bane They have spurned infants through rape Kids that will be them The circle going on They have gone beyond the edge here There is no rescue for these evil kids They hunt your sleep even when you run. These should have been the future But they are not even past A nightmare you can't describe Or one you choose not to This is real. This is fact The child soldiers of west africa The 20th century infantry Gallant they are Fearless is their nick Hacking arms and limbs their business And loveless too The kids turn monsters Without a conscience to bring em back Save my children Spare their parents this fate Save these soul less eyes from hell Give the continent back a future Hand them farming tools to farm with Please save these infant soldiers 1 Like |

Screams and kicks Blind cursing Trying to block out the pain Thunder drowning the noise The rain completing the horror So it starts He was cool and calm Sweet and lovely A touch of aggressiveness But seem to hold her special A girl's dream Her personal piece of hunk His eyes radiated love He was protective of her Made her fall for him And obey gravity she did She was the envy of her friends And the object of hate of some He never respected her But who wants a man that will respect you? You already have those as friends Give your heart to one that is different Experience the other side of life Learn to live on the edge Every 16 year old's dream but this night was not part Another blow hits her face The same loving and sexy hand covers her mouth She is losing her strength And also her clothes All part of the horror Fun for him Can you really blame him? She had all those friends to love but she chose him He would take from her what she does not want to give His conscience dead Or just infected It is a game of strength He rips off her pants Touches her roughly He violates her core And enters as she gaps for breathe The pain made her numb As she keeps fighting She fights for dignity Fights for her life As he goes in and out Oblivious of her pain His pleasures his goal Her pain her shame She is weary Just prays for it to be over fast She had trusted the wrong person Can you really blame her? She chose to love Is that not what society preaches? 3 days later.... Her physical scars are gone Her emotional ones remain She hates him And hates all men She keeps the secret Pointless, he has told all his friends Another statistics in this game of numbers You will blame her for loving the wrong person Some will express their frustration at her not choosing love from her friends Some will call the boy a beast Some just blames the devil Circle of blames. The deed done. The scars stay The hate deep The reaction limitless It is a theft of dignity A rape of the soul Inspired by Kelly Rowland's stole 2 Likes |

^^^^ Another Angle You never know how you end up in a dream Or how you end up in love He loves her How it happened a mystery He denies it But then he accepted it He was close to her Close enough to see her soul He had reached out with his feelings But he got turned down He was too "nice" Not fun or spontaneous In the calculations of things he was it But he could not match the "cool ones" Only useful as a friend Never more than that He could not make meet that standard And he lived with his pain He stayed friends Watched her grow and nurtured her Then he heard she was dating him She obeyed the rules When a girl gets a new guy she abandons her old friends He heard through gossips He was out of the equation Hurt each night Tears on his pillow Hate welling up But he kept his cool It was not him although he resented the world His mum's worlds kept him sane He had no hopes of her coning back He could not date her again Yet he feels so strongly about her And angry at the reason she turned him down He leads the class And still looks out for her The news reached him He slept with her He bragged about it Talked about how useless she was And how she screamed and moaned His pain complete, healing lost His brain went numb Washed with emotions he never thought he has Hate, love, jealousy, anger and violence Yet he did not confront her Not his business he said "not my business" he told himself So he helped her with school work She seems distant But what should he do? Lost in his own thought Love is pointless Life is unfair Maybe he should switch Become the other guy By Obatala it will be so easy To embrace the other side And become the evil he is jealous of Maybe he should They remain friends Each carrying his/her pain She did not understand him She still loved her molester He was just a friend Too nice and boring. |

Draped in black Sickle in his hands Seated on his throne. Eyes black as coal Cloaked he is Death is his goal Appearance of a ghoul Godfather death. The huge black dog The poisonous plant The black mamba The amphibious toad The black rat The eastern diamond snake that rattles The Egyptian king cobra Hades the greek call him The 9 ton nuke The hunting knife The .45 baretta The desert eagle The eye in the dark The 100mm shell The S3000 The troubled kid with a baseball bat The immortal End of all mortals The portal The all attractive portal Constant with Change Old as time He is patient Even gods fear him The Grim reaper sit His council is wise His judgment sound His action swift His messengers loyal His weapons active He sees you And knows your time The one The first threat The last threat The fear you fear The one whose delight is sorrow Keeper of the balance Neutral he is Zeus's brother, kronors' son He does not need noise He watches the lady take the turn A drunken driver already in place And anticipation awaits Like clockwork he watches All her beauty coming to naught Nothing can save her From the boogeyman that is his She crosses the road His looses control She hears the screech As he steps on the brakes Her eyes widen He is suddenly sober Onlookers pause She screams Balance has been kept Death has struck Her time was up And her life snuffed Call the dark one evil He will still come for you He is around the corner And in the eyes of the killer Everything obeys him You think not? Everything will kill you Just let him give the order His words are final When he calls, no appeal The Grim Reaper's cause is just Balance must be kept. 1 Like |
