Horror poetry

Reading original dark poetry on-line is fun. Much of it is bad, but even not so good poetry can have good lines. Here are a few lines from two poems and two full poems that I like for their macabre imagery or pathos. The poets are women of course.

...lets twist and pull

we'll bend and break
see how much our dolly can take... from "Broken Toy" by Beautiful Illusions

...My sleeves rolled down today,
Cuts kept under linen and lace.
Want to scream that I'm hurting,
But I keep the emotions off my face... from "It Was Me" by I am Mouse

"Vampire Cat" by Aharris

Glistening fangs and gleaming claws,

Teeth that pierce and jaws like saws,

Its blood red eyes that pierce the moon,

My fate is awaiting it will be here soon.

"Dreams" by Cherise

I dreamt of you again

last night

we were curled

around each other

like twins in the womb

protected and stregthened

by the other

bliss

it must be obsession

that causes me to dream

so often of you

the only other dreams i have

as frequently

are swift black spiders

spinning down towards me

i awake

frantic

i have considered

the possibility

they are the same dream
