yield the knife

There was goodbye behind your eyes

When you asked me to take it away,

To come and take it all away.

You shed out rage but you did not cry,

As there was nothing behind your eyes,

Just like when death turns to decay,

And comes to take it all away.

I’m not the best but I am not death,

I wish I could precisely be a friend,

And to just be there for a friend.

I caught the fog out of your breath,

As you beg desperately for your death,

As you beg desperately for an end,

In the face of a long lost friend.

What should I do when it comes to you?

What should I do when its always for you?

If you suffer so mortally within this life,

I will beg of death

to yield you its knife.

a.b.

gotta love cannabalism as a metaphor for obsession and love>>>>

live laugh love morbid poetry

Anywho here-

Wild woman

Lost in the woods

Rotting away

Diverse with lust

Sickeningly sweet

A lost soul

Stuck in my hair like roots

Milkweed and more

Snapping at me with ravenous jaws

Obsession in the sea

Oh baby

Let me rot in your woods

Make me like you darling

Wild with gaping maws

With cattail eyes

Lost breath with crazy

Cryptid creatures chasing me

Some sort of god

Collecting eggs by the pond

Feasting on my heart

Ripping me apart

Like a disease

Obsession with feral hunger

Starved love

My starved love…

Edgar Allan Poe: Unraveling the Mastermind who Revolutionized Horror Shaina Tranquilino October 28, 2023

When it comes to horror literature, there is one name that stands out above all others – Edgar Allan Poe. Born in 1809, this enigmatic American author left an indelible mark on the world of literature with his dark and mysterious tales. With his unparalleled ability to delve into the depths of human psyche, Poe's work has forever transformed the genre of horror, inspiring countless authors and filmmakers over the years.

Poe's Unique Style:

Edgar Allan Poe was a master of creating an eerie atmosphere through vivid descriptions and chilling narratives. His stories were often characterized by themes of death, madness, and the macabre, leaving readers on the edge of their seats. Unlike other writers of his time, Poe refused to shy away from exploring the darker aspects of human nature.

The Birth of Detective Fiction:

Apart from his contributions to horror fiction, Poe is also hailed as the pioneer of detective fiction. In fact, his character C. Auguste Dupin was a precursor to famous detectives like Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot. Stories such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Letter" showcased Poe's keen analytical mind and introduced readers to deductive reasoning long before it became popular.

Psychological Depth:

One aspect that sets Poe apart from other authors is his exploration of psychological depth. He delves into the darkest corners of human consciousness and exposes our deepest fears and desires. This penetrating analysis resonates with readers even today, making his works timeless classics.

"The Tell-Tale Heart," for example, showcases how guilt can drive a person insane. The narrator's obsession with a single eye reveals not only their own deteriorating mental state but also serves as a metaphor for humanity's hidden sins lurking beneath the surface.

Legacy in Poetry:

While primarily known for his short stories, Poe's impact on poetry is equally significant. His haunting and melancholic verses have become celebrated works in their own right. Poems such as "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," and "The Bells" continue to captivate readers with their lyrical beauty, evocative imagery, and exploration of themes like love, loss, and the inevitability of death.

Influence on Contemporary Horror:

Edgar Allan Poe's influence on contemporary horror cannot be overstated. Countless authors, filmmakers, and artists draw inspiration from his unique style and themes even today. The dark atmospheres, psychological depth, and twists that have since become synonymous with the genre owe a great debt to this literary pioneer.

Poe's Legacy Continues:

Despite facing personal tragedies throughout his life and enduring financial struggles, Edgar Allan Poe left an indelible mark on literature. His work continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, captivating us with its eerie charm and immersive storytelling.

Edgar Allan Poe forever changed the world of horror through his masterful writings. His ability to explore the depths of human fear and obsession has influenced countless authors who followed in his footsteps. From his chilling tales of suspense to his introspective poetry, Poe remains an icon whose legacy will continue to haunt our collective imagination for generations to come.

Desperado

He was traveling in the shadows,

Headed for the gallows,

Crossing through a river,

Cold,

Frigid,

Shallow.

A hellish Demon he must follow,

His head hung in sorrow,

At Demon’s heart he shivers,

Hard,

Blackened,

Hollow.

Quick!

Demon’s gun he borrows,

Shot him where he swallows

Without a single quiver,

Now call him,

Desperado.

Oc.. Interactions 👀👀👀 may i humbly offer Arisu or Keres for anyone you see fitting?

HITS YOU WITH THE DOUBLE BIRDS

“Ahaha, this might be silly to say but... The Ramshackle dorm’s prefect, Arisu, he reminds me of a little brother I’ve never had."

"I met him during one of the frequent visits I made to Night Raven's. He's a good kid if not a little bit, how do I say this, distracted? Absent? Like he's in his own little world. So I had to step in and help him from bumping into anyone while walking."

"His mischievous streaks and love for stories also remind me of a close friend. I'd like to offer to read him, if he doesn't mind, of course. People say I have a knack for it. Maybe we could meet up every now and then? And I'm also quite interested in his collections too, hehe."

“Beneath sheep's clothing, the wolf lies. Spells unnoticed by heedless eyes. The night creeps in to reveal the danger. Your closest friend may become a stranger...”

"You ask what that was? I’m merely musing about a certain friend named Keres. They're totally not a werewolf or anything so rest assured. The headmaster certainly wouldn't let that fly if that was the case, no?"

"They're one of the rare ones I get along with. The way they go on and on about our topic of interest and simply never stops even if it creeps the other party out? Oh, delightful. I think that's why we get along. We both enjoy people's reactions, fufufu."

#arisu is very little bro coded to giaco #giacomo: im PROTECTING HIM AT ALL COST #WHEN I SAY MY EYES BULGED AND WENT ‘AWOOGA’ READING THAT KERES ENJOYS MACABRE STORIES #finally someone who gets juno ❤️#feats juno on his gaslighting game again #also dont mind the cringe ass poem INSPIRATION STRUCK ME SDHUBSUDFBF #thank you for the ask!! :3 #arisu yukawa #keres perrault #giacomo rondino #juno tauber #oc ask

“Intrusive” by Clada

10” x 10” oil on Canvas. Available. $150 USD.

https://clada.bigcartel.com/product/intrusive

I wrote a poem: it is about alcoholism and the ones we love:

“Lost eyes, without color, searching so pensively for what? Understanding? Compassion? Void? The euphoric release to drown inhibition in a body or bottle. In too deep, and something crucial was lost. It had become immortalized in the glass of your drunk stare.

I see that person. I see the wound that keeps you feral to bite the helper—the desire to cause pain to yourself. I can recognize these thoughts because they scurry across my mind sober.

It is my fault. I hope all these messages in bottles reach you. However, they wash up in your hangover, illegible and water stained. I do not know why I try; wading in the shallows of cheap intentions washed up in the cheap drink. It could be for my grandiose ego, or it could be that I truly am afraid of losing you. Whatever reason, I am a vessel for the other hurt widows now. May that cavity be a better home to their loverless webs, as it was never a kind place for my thoughts.”

oilpaint between my teeth

seething pain right beneath

crawling up my throat

dressed in a trenchcoat

Ready to unveil

craving deep to fail

vomit ecstasy

worship lunacy

Chaos everywhere

I cannot go more than a few days without thinking about Danse Macabre by Saint-Saëns. That piece has destroyed me. It's an immortal earworm, and I will probably end up humming it in a nursing home one day
