"Bat Wings"
If you look into his eyes,
You’ll see there’s nothing there…
The whites only…
The whites only,
And they twitch in sync
With his arms,
And he heaves himself
To and fro,
Releasing a scream
As his veins become large
And erupt
Internally!.
If you look into his eyes,
You’ll see there’s nothing to be found…
The whites only…
The whites only,
And they roll eerily,
As do his joints,
And his skin peels
Layer by layer,
Falling to the ground,
Creating an odor -
Irremovable!.
Unbearable!.
If you look into his eyes,
You’ll see that nothing exists…
The whites only…
The whites only,
And he blinks for vision
And receives none,
So he thrusts a knife
To his throat,
Hoping to bleed blindness away,
Regain a prowler’s sight,
And forever remain
Immune!.
What ails him!?
He laughs…
What humors him!?
He screams…
What disgusting protrusions are those!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I Find it Intriguing!
Powerful and crude,
I Visualise Fangs,coffins
and vamp maidens
reaching out to their Master!.
I Love Goth and the darkness it inherits,
Lost souls tortured by the light,
Spread their wings,
Take flight, in search of
fresh blood,the only way they
know how to love,!.!.!.!.survive!.
,
Hidden in there darkest hour,
Power,!.!.!. to save their right
For freedom,of the night!.
Once more,
A fight for Survival,
To keep hold of the Horrors
that travel with them!.
Empty,Cold,Fearless, Bold!.
Until they meet
There ultimate goal,
Stake through the Heart,
Peace at last!Www@QuestionHome@Com
although the poem is clearly titled 'bat wings' i am not of the opinion that the subject of it can be restricted to it!.!.!. i feel it has more than one connotation!. the question and answering by the poet gives it a semblance of a mere conversation although if the content, the imagery, the words are anything to go by!.!. it sure is one hell of a dark poem and thus gothic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I find it repulsive and depressing!.
Oh wait!.!.!.it's perfect for a goth, then!.
Definitely not MY cup of tea- I LIKE having a happy life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
