Masquerading around with the perfect cover, soulful eyes that see all, ears that seem to to listen and a mouth that falsely moves its lips of an innate nature to utter words with no meaning. A nose that parades about smelling the metaphorical roses that have long decayed and still lie listless in between sharp, monstrous teeth.

The skin is pulled taut to keep the mask from sliding but behind all of that facade is room for nothing to hide in, it festers behind eyes that seem to shine with a bright light and a heads that nods in empathetic understanding.

The everpresent shadows devour what ever was human and flicker behind empty sockets. No need for mundane human needs, as Maslow's Hierarchy is followed but not neccessary for survival.

Knives glint in white knuckles of soft hands that hold children as they cross the street. About the day, a normal mortal but under the mocking, grimacing moon the monster parades the street disguised as another party animal.

Oh, but parties are to be had! Where blood runs down the veins instead of inside them for warmth, and homicide is like a high that one can never leave. And that dancing....oh, that fervent, enchanted, mesmerizing dance between prey and predator. Perpetrator and victim which gives rise for energy to become someone again during the day only to shed someone and become another nobody living off of the lives of others.


Parasitic, yet ubiquitous.
So, I was partially inspired by [link]
by :iconxx-shadow-vampire-xx: and subconsciously by Jeff Lindsay's loveable serial killer we just hate to love.

Enjoy. :blowkiss:


I appreciate your input, whichever you choose to share.


I'm kind of bittersweet towards my sudden fondness of :iconobfusque: made this word up...of prose-try....I miss writing poe-yums...guess until I get this outta my system you'll be stuck reading this pseudo-philosophical shit. ;]

My dear you have once again mesmerized me. You have shown your talents lay within many areas of writing. You know being this is a prose I just have to fav it! Is it my morbid side of the darkness that calls this to me? Or simply that your talents have drawn me within your realm and left me always wanting more? Perhaps a bit of both :-)
