Wayward, Cannibal Child am I,
I murdered my Lover to see how she'd die.
I knew that to kill was to die alone,
And I sucked the loving Marrow from her slender Bones.

I'm not much of a reader of poetry, but I do like Percy Shelley and Shakespeare, and I love Rush's lyrics. That's what got me into writing poetry. I also love Porcupine Tree's lyrics. Here's a favorite:

A Smart Kid

Stranded here on planet earth
It's not much but it could be worse
Everything's free here, there's no crowds

Winter lasted five long years
No sun will come again I fear
Chemical harvest was sown

And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?

A spaceship from another star
They ask me where all the people are
What can I tell them?

I tell them I'm the only one
There was a war but I must have won
Please take me with you.
