Disobeying Venus
He finds cause to bleed
Beautiful Psyche looks for love
He plants the sacred seed

Cupid finds delight
Keeping secrets from his quest
She obeys his commands
In hope, she will be blessed

When sisters prey upon her
Their jealousy prevails
Psyche grabs an arrow
On her lover, she assails

He escapes, her only fear
Flies away, and leaves her be
Seems Cupid’s betrayal of the gods
Was an act of conspiracy

Immortals have their way
In the magic that they carry
Human’s leave their mark
Upon their adversary

Springtime, senses wake

With the sound of falling rain

On quiet mornings

I let you throw daggers at me, from afar

You watched, as my heart slowly bled

Piercing my chest, this imminent pain

I wondered if you wished I was dead

The anger in your eyes, unsettling

They were blank, I was no longer there

You killed me, without saying a word

I knew now, you just didn’t care

Years of fighting within myself

Excuses, kept me hidden in the dark

Trying to cover the scars on my soul

Sadly, your hate left its mark

She was ever so faithful to trouble

Seems chaos was her middle name

Always pointing the finger

Never once would she take the blame

Devoted to causing confusion

He knew not what she had in store

There was no peace around her

This shook him to his very core

Behind them, the city, in mayhem

Explosions, igniting the skies

She simply walks away again

Unconcerned, with its demise

I loved this story, Plight of the Night Creatures, by my dear friend, Walt, and was inspired to write a poem based off of his work.  I hope you’ll visit his blog and show him some love!  He’s the best  ❤


The taste of human blood, lingering, ever so sweet

Found roaming the night, in the alley and street

Eyes, ever vacant, asking to be fed

Lost in the darkness, these living dead

A world taken from them, they long to avenge

Dare you not fall asleep, lest they get their revenge!
