Darkness enshrouds the depths of your black soul.
Ice water flows throughout your hulking frame.
Sanity is, no more, part of your whole;
Terror surrounds the whisper of your name.
Rumours follow the trail of death you leave;
Anger and fear grow in your bloody wake.
Murder is all that your heart can conceive;
Useless to hide from the dread art you make.
Though demons haunt your nightmares and your days,
Angels lead you to your true destiny.
Rage at your mother fuels your psycho ways,
Killing is the only escape you see.
Alone and frightened in your darkest dreams,
Light shines only from your next victim's screams...
Some of you are no doubt aware of DeviantArt's very own serial killer, ~ distramutarkal, who has been blazing a trail of random killings through the forums of this site. After I fell victim to him, I found myself pondering upon his identity, musing upon the meaning of the name behind which he hides -- and I realised that the name was 14 letters long.

14 meant sonnet, and this was born... (Note the first letter of each line...) It could probably benefit from some polishing, but I dashed it off quickly, hoping to get it submitted before the killer was unmasked...

:D

Edit, Apr 2004, Preview: I am currently working through my gallery and providing a proper preview image for those deviations that didn't originally have one. I apologise to all those watching me if this causes these old poems to be flagged as "new". The image in this thumbnail is from Stock - Blood As Real, by ~Dan14Stock.

Exquisite composition. I love the rhythm and style. Highly inventive and visceral. Great work.
