Danger De Mort
Ever since I peered down deep
Within myself
Where demons sleep
And saw that grim lit omen lay
I've watched him closely night and day
Surprised me not his shade of sin
Surprised me not his coat of black
Surprised me not that awful grin
But shook my soul his winking back
And now he sits there dreaming
In the respite of my sunken soul
Where in his dreams he finds me
Ripe to pluck my life, consume me whole
And never have I ever
Felt a love too ill to court
For on the walls within my mind
It's written
Danger...De Mort
And even darker diction is his
Blatant disposition as he sleeps
With both eyes open
As if deep inside he's broken
And a certain love exudes him
Though a love too ill to court
For on the walls within my mind
It's written
Danger de mort

Couldn't have asked for a better compliment. Thanks Lolo appreciate you and thanks for stopping by! I wanted to try something dark for a change...lol a bit of an inside joke there haha!
Curioso
Something ominous floats here and I love the fluidity of it all. I had to look up Danger de mort, it translated to "at the peril risk of ones life". Deep stuff it's a vicious battle when you face yourself and begin to actually loose. Stay curious buddy!!

I think we have something we do battle against whether in our heart, in our soul or in our mind. Some of these things are more scary than others and I wanted to encapsulate the concept here. I appreciate the love and support.

I appreciate all of the love, support and feedback!
Woah this makes me think of someone courting a femmefatale, but whatever it is it is a thrilling enchanting awesome imaginative poem of indescribable dark poetic wonder. Kudos.
