Love dimmed...
Glorious light died within;
Anguish flickered,
Fanning agony into a glow.

Torture twinkled,
Streaming ill rays beyond.
I grasped and gasped
For entire essence of existence.

Christened as black widow,
Baptized in the burning depth of hell;
She emerged from dark shadow
Into the light to entice with her spell.

Her gothic allure's mesmeric,
Bewitching lustful hombres with ease
Into enchantment most cryptic;
To drink from somber lubricious kiss.

Her explicit charm's accursed,
Venomous fang and tongue, irresistible;
******* the blood of lustfully lost,
To rejuvenate a splendor forever invincible.

Her claret lips, stone and rose bouquet;
Her sting of death they'll never betray...

The dark can see
Wooden door squeaks,
To wheezy breeze
On creaking antiques...

Eerie silence echoes,
Spilling nebulous images
As haunted psychos
From all entrapped cages.

Voices of invisibles
Heard from hidden hosts;
Illusory intangibles
Manifesting to be ghosts...

Goosebumps ripple
Into waves of gooseflesh;
Fear evokes a *******
Entangled in scary mesh.

"The ghosts're real"
Apparitions of restless spirits
"We could **** or heal"
Our actual and factual secrets.
Are ghost real?

Untainted...
But never allowed
To exist
Amongst the living.

Innocence
Was exterminated;
Entombed
Beneath Mother Earth.

Vengeance
Vowed to avenge
This death
With gory vendetta...

Evil seed
Manifested as doom,
Rooted in abyss;
She unleashed dark horror!

Woe unto humanity!
Innocence's resurrected
Herself into death...
Her only mission: destroy!

Hahahaha!

I appear where bold people speak
I precede intention
I breed expectation
I rarely reside with the weak

You can recognize my symbol
You can use me in your tone
I am neither proud nor humble
But I prefer to work alone

I would like to haunt you
Sometimes, I'll taunt you
Until you say something
Back to me.

**What am I?

Once this breath,
Existence gasps to grasp;
When wrath is wrought with wreath,
And fate, life bequeaths
Unyielding hasp;
Upon all, death's arms shall clasp.

Beyond bounds…
Colours, creeds and cultures,
Death's assured end shouldn’t be forgotten;
All’s bestowed ‘same measure,
Once birth is begotten.
Twin stars:
"They smiled and smiled
With all rainbow colours,
Exuding felicity upon
The skies.

(A Classical Cinquain)

Dear fellow poets at hello poetry, From the core of my heart i dedicate this cinquain to all of you who spare your precious time as to share such exquisite poems. Your work is truly meritorious.

Otherwise if im to bring more light to the above poem, a classical cinquain is a five-line poem that was inveted by an American poet known as Adelaide Crapsey who took her inspiration from Japanese Haiku and Tanka. Over the years, there have been variations of the cinquains such as "The Didactic cinquain"

Below is the structure of the classical cinquain:

Line 1: The sentence must bear 2 syllables
Line 2: The sentence must bear 4 syllables
Line 3: The sentence must bear 6 syllables
Line 4: The sentence must bear 8 syllables
Line 5: The sentence must bear 2 syllables

#cinquains are particularly vivid in their imagery and are meant to convey a certain mood or emotion.

The morning breeze
Puts the freeze
On bygone grudges
And we start anew
Life rises with us each new day
Though our hearts are the grim graves
Of the hopes and dreams of others
The morning breeze
Tells us ever so gently in whispers sweet
That the world can go on without us
So, like the rivers and the lakes we must flow
Into the cupped hands of the destiny that awaits us
Doing what we must do as matter of course
My prayer to the morning breeze
The breath of life incarnate
Is that it broadcasts to us, news of the future
She realised inspiration was all around her,
She could change her hand writing like a chameleon would his colour,
Her thoughful mind had so much to say,
Not through her mouth but her fingers per se,
When faced with challenges,
She'd create pages,
Pages of words of encouragement,
She chose poetry because it was one of the things she did with so much ease and without worry of being wrong,
So she chose poetry.

Tell the Queen, there is a King who will always care
Tell the Princess, there is a Prince who with another she will never share.
Tell the Servant Girl, there is Boy who will her burdens bear,
Tell that Damsel, that to see her cry will not be fair,
Tell the Countess, that for her beauty a Count will not seize to stare,
Tell that Woman, that You will love her from year to year,
And that if ever she feels lonely, there will be no need to fear,
For there will always be a Hero, who for her will shade a tear,
And a Knight who will ride through heat and cold for a creature priceless and rare.
Women are the wells from which life is drawn.

I have seen the blood of my loved ones, spilled on a dusty road;
Seen the fall of kings, powerful warriors and the bold;
The skin of mothers and little children, broken by cold;
The ancient landmarks of the fatherless, siezed and sold.

I have heard the cry of the homeless but no one there to save;
Heard the wailing of the deserted, seen the tears of the brave;
Many driven from their homelands, now hiding in caves;
And a father toiling night and day, treated as a slave.

I have heard of dreams of many, still unrealised;
The ****** daughters of priests, lured or defiled;
The goals of youths, swallowed up by pride;
And the future of generations, poorly discerned.

I have read government policies, unfavourable for the common man;
Heard of national resources, expended without concrete plans
Communities connive to eliminate a defenseless clan;
And a nation sold into modern slavery, by reckless polititians.

Many tears have droped, sweat and blood everywhere;
Many races have been run but the end seems nowhere near;
Many have waited hopelessly for a better year;
Many have stood up but crawled back for sake of fear.

A day will come when the oppressed will arise;
Like Martin Luther King Jr. did,though his blood was a price;
Like Nelson Mandela did, even though his act was termed a vice-
For the freedom of the enslaved and oppressed but the wicked's sudden demise.
