There Is Blood

My forty-fourth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ Updated 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

This is my forty-fourth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena, but also inspired by me actually managing to slice open my thumb with my razor this morning. Even I don't know how that happened, maybe too many episodes of "Supernatural", who knows.

I'll go with the villanelle form for this one.

The music I have chosen is "The Cutter (Transformed)" by Echo and the Bunnymen from the album "The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon"

The Blade Slices Through The Skin

The Flesh Parts, Red Blood Does Flow

Your Life Force Drains, Eyes Grow Dim

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

A Crimson Pool, Scarlet Sin

Watch By Black Eyes Of A Crow

The Blade Slices Through The Skin

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Life Departs, Blood Is Flowing

Victim Of A Fatal Blow

Your Life Force Drains, Eyes Grow Dim

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Your Life Fades, Crimson Blood Rains

How Long Is Left? You Don't Know

The Blade Slices Through The Skin

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Flesh Is Cold, Food For Vermin

Rats Feast On Your Bloodied Corpse

Your Life Force Drains, Eyes Grow Dim

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Killers Wear Demonic Grins

They Land One More Fatal Blow

The Blade Slices Through The Skin

Your Life Force Drains, Eyes Grow Dim

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€
