Walking through the waste land-
For ages; all alone,
I have lived in the cemetery;
Buried deep within.
I have watched over Nothing,
Waiting for no one..
My existence is scarred-
Walking through the Deads.
I dwell at nights-
In Dark desolation.
I croon the songs of despair
With notes of melancholy.
I shadow everyone around..
There’s no way of Escape
Or Walking past Me, For I am now the
Will and Vendetta rules Me..
..

Powerful… your words in the beginning caught my attention…
‘I have lived in the cemetery;
Buried deep within.’
Perfect ending too…

Kavz, you are one of the sweetest things that has happened to me after I have started to blog.. I’m including all the poet friends here!
I have always believed in miracles- you being the one from the initial ones.. 🙂
Warm Bear Hugs to you too..

I have watched over Nothing,
Waiting for no one to come..
Great expression describing that place we have all been. You have revealed, in words, the darker side of dark and in “waiting for no one to come” the self-fulfilled prophecy has been filled…no one comes. Nicely done!

Thank you for your words Tolbert! Appreciated much..
I am still walking alone- now gotten so much used to!

very nice olivia…a darker piece, but relatable as i think we have all found that place where something is done to us and we seek justice…or what we define justice as…vendetta…

Super dark and deliciously creepy!! gave me some goddamn chills, lady!!
Those bouts of melancholia are very well expressed, Liv… they seeped out from your poem, and off the screen!!
And that image you have chosen is quite deadly AND captivating!! It perfectly complements your deeply greyed words… excellent work!!!
Feb 14, 2011 @ 22:46:40
It’s been a long while since I did this creepy work!!
Really, I was perhaps being guided by a demon while doing this- it’s name is Vendetta!!
Sending you some more chills… err winter chills..

I didn’t know your dark side ran so deep. Vendetta ruled by the will. Great poem!
Feb 14, 2011 @ 22:43:56
hehehe.. it seems my blood had changed its color from read to black for sometime.. n that’s when this poem happened.. 🙂
Thank you for stopping by.. xoxox

You’re scaring me, I feel like you’re going to come after me tonight! 😉 Seriously though, when you have so much anger inside you that you want to lash out at everyone, it feels like the king of Hades himself is ruling you. I like the images created by your words and how they are effective in evoking dark emotions in the readers.
Feb 14, 2011 @ 22:42:48
Thank you for that generous comment- I won’t haunt you ever.. 😉

Reminds me of the movie The Crow… dark passages of deadly encounters… a moment inside Ann Rice’s head… walking alone at midnight in a cemetery in New Orleans… with a vampire hunting you… I love the darkness you paint here Olivia… =)

What a wonderfully dark imagery. I feel as if the feelings of vendetta have crept over me while reading. I truly enjoyed!
Nov 15, 2010 @ 12:49:16
Heya Marlee,
It’s more to do with avenging in a big way- instead of harming others to achieve nothing.. 🙂 As in to acquire some thing bigger so all losers sit behind and gape..
Love MyD xxx
Nov 15, 2010 @ 08:03:30
Awesome depth, and the image just strengthens the whole dank rawness of the desparity. Kudos!
Nov 15, 2010 @ 12:50:07
Thanks Anthony..
These words almost dug my head till I wrote them down..!!
Love xxx

Waiting for no one to come!!

Oh, my girl, you do indeed swallow life whole. We hope in the end that Vandetta does NOT rule … LOVE only.
Happy Sunday … or is it Monday there? Must be Monday there now … Someday, I will get my geography straight! 🙂
Oct 03, 2010 @ 18:35:42
LOLssss.. Don’t worry.. It’s Sunday evening- 6.35pm.. already dark- Fall here..
Vendetta does rule but that’s my Dark side.. and, I am all set to avenge in a very heart stabbing manner.. killing without the blood spills.. I hope I din’t scare you… xoxox
Nov 17, 2010 @ 05:20:59
I have faith that you will always do the honorable thing, my dear friend. 🙂 No worries.
