Bound to Her

Laughing devils in her eyes,
Screaming spiders running through her hair.
These dreams of mine cannot be lies,
They’ve caught me in her serpent snare.

Food to ash,
Drink to blood.
My mind breaks under the Lover’s lash,
My body drowns in Grief’s flood.

Bound to her,
No sleep till the day I die.
Bound to her,
No tears left to cry.

My soul screams for her each day,
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

How do you like it? eh? eh?

P.S. : Ace, would you post those two poems of yours that you gave us links to? The links wont take me to them. It shows me something about poetry, but your poems arent on there.

Arrr. Nice poem. Still sounds like you're depressed. Are you? You better not be. Or else.

I wrote poems once,
Ya know, the soul searching kind,
haikus I like though.

Here's a haiku. I call it: Hammer

When the time is right
I will smash open your fat head
With my new hammer

Thank you.

Doesn't haiku have to be 14 syllables?

I think your middle line may have 8 syllables... I (1) Will (2) Smash (3) Op-en (4,5) your (6) fat(7) head(8)

Heh, yeah, I noticed that, but apparently "open" is only one syllable.

The dictionary lists syllables with little ·'s, for example:

psy·cho·log·i·cal (5 syllables)
ca·tas·tro·phe (4 syllables)
com·put·er (3 syllables)
ham·mer (2 syllables)
...and so forth.

It's listing for open:
open (1 syllable)

Thus, it is 7.
