INTERLOPER by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

INTERLOPER

Doubt pulls me under The abyss of uncertainty Questions of right and wrong Scatter in the void Hopeless to find This shattered maze of my conscience The sentinels of confidence Have lost the luster in their eyes Abandoned their post on my heart As your shadow looms upon me Once more Picking the locks of my desire Uprooting my security I fall into the fantasy Like a stone Your arms wrapped around me As I fight to stay asleep Devouring your lips Taking in your eyes The interloper on your body Dancing with your ghost The words are there Stabbing at the back of my throat Wanting to tell you everything This house of cards ready to fall If only you knew But am I brave enough To cross that line? To vandalize the house you've made To make myself finally known And so I remain The arrow lodged in my chest Bleeding Self inflicted FIGHTING FOR A LOVE That was never even mine Vincent Cuccolo 2021

PUPPET MASTER by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

PUPPET MASTER

This chance encounter Grips me by the throat Fighting to breathe As your scent Assaults my body Helpless to move As my veins turn to stone Your wildfire eyes Setting my skin ablaze I welcome your Hell The torment of your touch That I fantasize until the world stops Askew But it only takes one thought of you And that infectious, fatal smile To bring me back on my axis Strangers in the night As I barely know your name My heart at war with my judgment Once more These trenches dug into my soul Desperate for cover From the crossfire But these bullets rip me into With ease What is it about you? This gravity that you create With just a single ‘hello’ Warping my reality Lifting these strings MY PUPPET MASTER Moving me in ways I dare not say out loud Vincent Cuccolo 2021

NOTHING AND EVERYTHING by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

NOTHING AND EVERYTHING

I'm hung dry By your unrequited heart In this desert of your disregard The mirages you manifest Whenever you please Beckoning me from a distance My tongue sagging into the sand A journey of a thousand miles Time and time again for you I walk in circles A puppet in your name Tangled by these infinite strings Completely yours Even when I crash into the roadblock Of your ungiving arms Never to accept or receive me Worshipping you My deity And curse My end And my beginning Finding reasons not to love you Trying to lobotomize you from my mind Only to stop these trembling, bloody hands From tearing my head apart In two Because I'm just too much of a coward To let you go Even for a second As fast as I blink Wanting everything Out of nothing This conscious I disgrace DELIBERATELY DYING FOR YOU I lie in wait Hoping that someday You'll hold on To my very last breath 2016 Vincent Cuccolo

Dreamcatcher by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

Dreamcatcher

Let me be the one To lay your ghosts to rest To keep your fears entombed And at peace So that your nightmares Reconcile with themselves And succumb to the celestial hand Of your dreams Enfolding And bright Let me be the one To awaken your dormant love With just one kiss Barely touching A graze that will leave a mark And withstand the test of time Until its hands lift up, surrendering And the pendulum sags to the floor Defeated Let me be the one To smother you with the little things And say I love you a little too much Until my tongue becomes numb Dying to fall off And my lips cannot stand themselves To caress your hair Until I become

The Execution by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

The Execution

Tripwires reside on our hearts A minefield of broken promises Ready to burst Coating this love Coagulating our souls The apologies we smear and write in blood And narrate time and time again Until the clock cries out Unable to bear no more We have become imposters To ourselves Dancing in the deceit That somehow Behind these sewed on smiles A fire thrives… A spark in denial with itself Hoping to alight a past Long seduced by the dark Once sweet lips Transformed to grotesque flytraps Devouring each other sickly Hungry for our own demise And damnation Holding the ticket to hell Readily and willing Craving the flames of renou

Still-Life by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

Still-Life

Thoughts echo And entwine Like thorns A rosebush Of longing Painful Torturous But this tongue Would drip deception If he didn’t admit The masochistic rush That he gorges willingly Licking the plate of your memory Clean Regret is a stone-hard pill Creating gashes down my throat As I attempt to swallow your goodbye And my choice to let you go My stomach caving in Crumbing to wailing bits I watch you paint a new life With the colors of another love Your strokes intricate Determined As I lay as a mere pile of drafts And sketches that couldn’t be completed The charcoal frustration you’ve scribbled… Because of me A

Exhume by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

Exhume

Your arms still clutch onto this heart You've left your bed unmade Inside my soul As I feel your footprints Move within these veins Until you make yourself comfortable Inside my mind Holding the keys to my very being Memories awaken like land mines Sudden Lethal Consuming And I'm not sure where to step Because I'm stripped of my armor With every thought And every glance the other way These bones radiate reason Bleed common sense That I should be done with this But your face is buried Within the folds of my skin And I'm all too eager to dig it up Exhume the corpse of our love As if it would make any difference It's unjust Th

through blood and tears i live through my fears.. shadows chase me and demons appear they laugh and they tease, they burn and they sear i'd' tear out my eyes but i already can't see.. i just want love.. i want to be free.. i want the warmth i once had.. the feel of fur and scent that drove me mad.. now i'm alone in the freezing cold.. nopony to save me or lend a helping hoof..

Starshine by lolli47, literature

Literature

Starshine

I still have stardust in my hair from the last time you swept me away in your starry eyed gaze. Please kiss the constellations goodnight for me, my dear because you know that they shine for you and every single goddamn thing that you have ever stood for. Unearthly you are, up in the clouds and close to the sun as bright and warm as your smile itself. Can you see me? I'm coming to join you, I'll see you in my dreams up in the sky across the milky-way glittered with the wonder of the universe. I swear it, darling I swear it if you were the only thing I would ever see, it wouldn't bug me a bit to never know what's out there. You might not be th

One Last Time by soultrauma, literature

Literature

One Last Time

My soul is now alone. Diminished to a point of then and now. I no longer feel your fervent touch. I no longer can enjoy the Delicate breeze of your breath on my chest As we lay awake at night. I no longer smell the scent of your hair As it lingers in the air when you walk by. My eyes No longer gaze at your beauty. I glance to nowhere, hoping To see you one last time. One last time is all I wanted, in hopes It will make you change your mind. One last time, to make your soul blind with love. To make it so my soul is whole again. No longer with you, is the thought I must bare. One last time is a dream I must let go.

Brokenness on Deck by DragonSoul818, literature

Literature

Brokenness on Deck

Dormant are these dreams A comatose longing for worth The concreteness that slipped from under my feet A bitter farewell An unwanted departure Just please come back, and tell me you'll stay This agitation I wear every day Damns me by the hour Faceless I am An alien I have become Numb to my own existence A ghost to all of creation Haunting this entire universe Just to feel a fraction of surety Screaming my plea Under the microscope of desperation Just hear me! See me! I want to belong TO LOVE THIS UNLOVED SKIN This prison I perceive An illusion clothed in a delusion Hypnotic falsehood A lie bathed in cleverness Survival

I released my first poetry book, "A Cryptic Oasis", alongside with Dina Darling and Debbie Christoforatos, two very talented, very wonderful people; I highly recommend looking them up on Facebook. The book touches on the sensitivities of personal struggle, love & hate, and the yearning to belong as well as be comfortable within our own skin. You may purchase the book at: https://www.createspace.com/4318746 It's also on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/A-Cryptic-Oasis-Vincent-Cuccolo/dp/149040547X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377216385&sr=8-2&keywords=vincent+cuccolo I hope everyone enjoys, finds comfort, and relates to my book in

Calling All Writers: An Opportunity Is Here!

Hey, all! I'm currently in search for serious poets/poetesses for a writer's website known as Acoustic Ink (I was featured there myself a few years ago). I recently got approached to write an article for a special feature, and my friend who runs the company, Debbie Christoforatos, asked if I would like to become a permanent editor, and help her add more shining stars to the site.

'Eyes On Me': A Book For Charity!

0 min read

Hello, all! "Eyes On Me" is one of our most successful titles currently produced, and here's why you should check it out: For one thing, this book was created for charity, specifically the Teenage Cancer Trust, and a percentage of the profits made goes towards the cause! Secondly, it showcases the work of acclaimed author J.A. Saare , and her popular urban fantasy series "Rhiannon's Law", with "Eyes On Me" taking place before the main events in the series occur. So, not only is this a great sneak-peek, but the story itself contains a nice, modern-day twist on how vampires are viewed, as well as how they interact in the world. Furthermore,
