"Shivers run through the spine of hope as she cries,
the poisoned tears of a life denied,
In the raven-black night holding hands with...
DARK LIGHT... come shine in her lost heart.. tonight...
And blind... all fears that haunt her with... your smile..
"Dark Light" - H.I.M

Hey everbody, I'm a 17-year-old Australian writer, and am currently finishing my final year at school. I'm a major fan of A Perfect Circle, My Chemical Romance, and Phantom of the Opera.

Some of my Favourite Authors:
J.K Rowling -of course!
Tamora Pierce -especially with her "Lioness Quartet" series.
Linda Cargill - for her novel "PoolParty"
Kate Constable - for her "Singer of all songs" trilogy.
Gaston Leroux - for bringing us "Le Fantome de L'Opera"
Susan Kay - for her awesome adaptation of "Phantom"

"Don't fret precious, I'm here. Step away from the window...
Go.. back to sleep.
Lay your head down child, I won't let the Boogeyman come,
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.
Pay no mind to the rabble,
Head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums.

I'll be the one to protect you from,
your enemies and your choices son,
They're one in the same, I must isolate you,
Isolate and save you from yourself.

Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and,
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.
The boogeymen are coming
the boogeymen are coming
head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums..."
"PET" - A Perfect Circle

There is a poem I am working on at the moment, possibly my favourite of all time... however... I just can't seem to get the ending right, andI certainly want to do it justice. Hopefully it will be posted on here sometime in the future.

"Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands,
drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hand, Romeo..."
"THE SHARPEST LIVES" - My Chemical Romance
