Since I'm getting into the rhythm of poetry randomly, I thought I'd include all my poems in one thread. Whenever I have some new ones, I'll post them.

Monsters
It’s the time of the year again
Where the children go trick or treating,
Unaware of the real monsters lurking
That they very well could be meeting,
Halloween reveals the celebrations
Of the creatures we give a beating.
But it does make you thoroughly wonder
Who are the monsters, the true evil within,
Behind closed doors can be entirely different
Opposed to masks they wear in the morning,
The day protects us from their horrifying faces
The night reveals a sight so chillingly terrifying.
Vampires, werewolves, demons, skeletons
Witches, sorcerers, ghosts, all of them,
Believing that they are fantasies is wrong
For they themselves are the curse of the damned,
Which we may ultimately become someday
The thriller will come and they will become the nemesis.
And when the transformation is finally complete
The monster will emerge, its strength immense,
Ready to devour its victims in its relentless rage
Even through this, all will be seen as such nonsense,
It is mindless and shall attack all who threaten it
Thus the legend of Halloween finally comes to be sense.

Sweet Rapture
Your resonating presence is beautiful in this light
and your fingers flawlessly play away on the piano. Before
you showed me your world and gave me your insight
into this love, this sweet rapture, knowing you are more.
The lullaby plays on. We sit together as one
and I am bedazzled by your amazing grace
in this old-fashioned room. The deal is done
now, but this won’t become an arms race.
I remember the amazing views that we saw
from up above in the trees. I never thought
such a world existed, one that was not under law
and one that cannot be easily sought.
You’re so beautiful outside. Inside, you were alone —
You’ve waited so long, now you’re no longer the lone.
----------
Unconditional
I shiver from your cold, perfect touch
One look into your violet eyes and it’s all too much to bear,
How do you go on when the other one could be
Lingering in the background just to stop and stare?
You give me that wicked, crooked smile
My favourite one, the one you charm me with,
You give me a heartfelt kiss that I’ll cherish
I cry, knowing you are more than a myth.
I would have died in your place before
Allowed myself to succumb to an untimely death,
But how can I love you when it might not really be you?
I allow you to touch once more, to sense what is left.
I open my eyes, knowing I love you
When loving the other is also a sin.
I was once a flightless bird, a worthless cockroach
The one that was trouble and strife,
Then you came along, the mysterious and violet-eyed one
The one that would bring me to life.
Even so, we used each other like a drug
Yet I could not deny my unconditional, unrequited love,
Since you were the only one that could understand
And be my shining beacon of light from above.
We’ve been through many difficult times together
We’ve confronted the other side, right?
It’s my turn to do my part of the done deal
I’ll be your beacon this time, an even stronger light!
However, you once said we’d never be apart
You’d keep on fighting your inner demon for me,
And still even I couldn’t resist that part of you
Which is why it’s something you may not yet see.
