Mercy
Words of mercy easily spill,
Like raindrops on a windowsill.
Kindness won't reach scarlet eyes,
Benevolent evil in disguise.
Nails of diamond scrape chilled skin,
Boundless darkness lurks within.
Hold screams tight in the throat,
Crimson flows, sacrificial goat.
Rasping breath like fetid meat,
Too tardy now for safe retreat.
Darkness invades a vacant stare,
Descending fangs reflected there.
Light grows dim from depths so bright,
A greedy lapping in the night.
Heady smells of sanguine tide,
Weariness penetrates deep inside.
Frenzied rips of flesh unfold,
Skin on skin pressed so cold.
Sanity slips like descending rain,
Spattering softly on the windowpane.

Dear friend... where have you been all my life!!! LOL Love the way you write and the image you chose! I shall return... trust me, have I ever lied to you before!!! Love, Jack xxx
Good a,a,b,b rhyme scheme in all 5 or your rhymed quatrains, POETESSDARKLY.
Good consonance--particularly the sounds of "d", "s" and "l" all throughout.
Eloquently worded using very descriptive adjectives and verbs to paint the bloody carnage in words.
Nicely done!

A massively enjoyable piece, awesomely constructed and has amazing fluidity
Wow... I can't really think of anything to say. Bravo my friend, this is absolutely astonishing. 5 stars :) Thanks for the great read.
My Dear Lisa,
Tender Mercies, so very rare
Horrid screams stead fill the air
Rip to shreds, the Jugular Vein
Life's blood spattered, on the windowpane
Hugs, Peace and Love,
