Darkened beauty of the night
Filters through an open window
Resting on a scarlet sheath
Blood stained leather
Ecstasy lies within her grasp
Sharp rage of silver turns the odds
Tenderly playing her side of grace
Dark fulfillment of enlightened eyes
Shattered mirror on the wall
Reveals her twisted, secret prayer
She watches as his eyes turn cold
To prove her hate will conquer all
Rushing emotions surge through her now
His touch no longer erodes her soul
For murder heals all silent wound
Crimson refuge from a slaughtered wind
Sighing relief echoes from her lips
Ending war with wars revenge
Blue lights draw near with urgent speed
As she turns to face the stars
Jazz song playing from the night
Her lonely fate of eternal bliss
One swift brush across her throat
She falls in payment of freedoms release

Oh my dear God. I love this. If you do not win first place someone should be kicked in the face. This is amazing beyond belief! It is safe to say that this poem is the one best poem's I have read oh this site! If all my poems sounded half as good as yours then I would be a happy camper! Well, good luck in the contest, even though you do not need it.
Best wishes~always keep penning~Heather
