A. Scarlet Heart
by kalika

my heart’s now made of darkness,
I’ll play your game. 
on my chest; draw a scarlet A;
I’ll take all the blame.

 if you’re gonna brand me a villain, 
I’ll light up this flame.
I’ll spark a match just to watch the
world burn in your name. 

speak of the mighty devil, and she shall appear.
she’ll take everything from ya since you volunteered.

they say money’s the root of all evil,
but they’ve never met me.
I play with the devil’s advocate;
don’t dare bet against me.
get ready and heed my warning;
you ought to expect me.
a necessary evil, I had to become;
you will never forget me. 

I will take you down with me to face hellish frontiers.
we’ll go to hell in a hand-basket to find what you fear.

I’ll summon my rebellious hellions,
and zip up my Reaper jacket. 
I’ll melt and mix up magic to place
poison in your brass cup.
with threads of molten hot malevolence,
I’ll weave a flower basket.
rafflesias, wolfsbane, and monkey orchids,
I’ll lay them in your casket.

speak of the mighty devil, and I shall appear.
I’ll take everything from ya; for you volunteered.
you’ll go to hell in a hand-basket; I’ll learn what you fear.
you’re coming down with me to face hellish frontiers.

Unspoken Emotion

Unspoken Emotion

I'm the pain that's settled into the crevices of your dimples when you smile, lurking like cobwebs in the rafters of a home you haven't cleaned in a while.

I am the anger sitting quite earnestly on the edge of your patient lips, anxiously fighting to not give in to haters when you could call in warships.

I am both the disappointment and acceptance you've decidedly faced, pondering longingly as you wonder if all your efforts have been misplaced.

I am the determination held in the firm hand of the most driven fighter, watching as you heed your grandfather's words: "there ain't no hill for a climber."

I am the hope flickering behind your eyes; growing the higher you climb,holding you together like a warm embrace when you want to resign.

I am the satisfaction rising with each breath in your tired chest,realizing you've helped so many to the top, passing life's true test.
