Killer's Kiss

Steaming jungle darkly wrapped
closing in, keeps him trapped

Sounds of life and of death
he holds his screams and nervous breath
Life crawls by, touching him
he holds his bowels, filled to brim

Eyes strain to see through blinding gloom
trying to guess whence comes his doom
darker blackness slides closer still
waiting for the chance to kill

Senses tuned to ultimate
this is as good as it gets
Emotions roil filling him with life
as he holds the ebon bladed knife

Fear is banished to another realm
while instinct takes the darkness' helm
No sound escapes his radar ear
He can smell the other's fear

Now he's here; a silent smile
A gurgle of breath, a bloody gush
gives the gift of a killer's rush
No drug replaces a high like this
sex can't beat Doc Death's kiss

Now, he roams, aching to fill
the void within...he needs to kill
Injections of joy, in greater doses
feeds the beast of his psychosis
Depraved souls, none will miss
The scum of life gets Killer's kiss

at it again is he?

great write Gee.
one thing i'd change, but just me - for the flow

'Blackness blacker slides closer still
waiting for the chance to kill'
i would make 'Blacker blackness slides closer still...'
but just me as i said.

i enjoyed the suspense
love judy

I didn't write much...

and I played a lot of video games, went to my sister's 25 th wedding anniversary, made a plaque for them that says their name and 25 years of satisfaction since 1985. They liked it. ~ Gee

Hey yoda

I like it a lot, only thing I will say is, maybe line 4 verse 6, would sound better if you said doctor rather than doc.Great job.

Love Lou

Thanks Lou,

I think I will leave those lines the way they are, they are supposed to be terse, and the pace medium fast.
Besides, when did you ever hear a soldier call out; Hey Doctor? Love,~ Yoda

Since two...

out of the first three comments liked Killer's Kiss, I went with that! i almost went with 'Blades of Doom, or Black Blade, but thought that I should have Killer in the title, since it is about what he did in the war. Love and hugs, ~ Gee

Thanks,Xena...

I went with Killer's Kiss. Yes, Killer let himself go when he was at war. Now that he is home, he restricts his kill to criminals.
Boy, it is great to be back at Neo! ~ Gee

It was scary...

wasn't it? I watched a couple of movies, the night before this was written, and one of them was The Sniper, the other was Predator.
I then had a dream about the two combined, and this was born the following morning. I am looking forward to chats too. I missed you all. Love right back at ya, ~ Gee

Geezer,

I don't know why, but as soon as I started reading this I thought of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and images of Kurtz and Marlowe.

Very cool write. It took me all over the place, and back.

I am glad...

after all, isn't that what our works are supposed to do?
Those of us that write, would be nothing without the audience. i write to share what I feel, and hope that I can make you feel it too.
I am pleased to no end, that I was thought of in the same company as the writers you mentioned. It is comments and thoughts such as yours and the people that respond to my writing, that makes me keep writing. Thank you, ~ Gee

Now...

this is what I was talking about! You have made compelling arguements for each of your suggestions and I will be sure to take heed. I will look over these changes side-by-side and post my changes a little later. Thank you for such an in-depth review.
You have measured up to this workshop in a most significant way! Gee.

Hmmmm...

I will look into that idea about giving an intro to Killer. Killer is an integral part of the need for all of us to sort out the evil in this world. He is; on a basic level, our need for justice in a society where the bad guy sometimes gets away. ~ Gee.

Slick-

Like hot blood on shaking hands. I like it!
'Specially "darker blackness slides closer still
waiting for the chance to kill."
And the last verse. Delicious.
