The Demise Of Spiderman And The Flygirl
From between moving clouds
out of blue sky way beyond
the sun shines through temperamentally
down into our pensive atmosphere.
Onto a capitalistic spider
as he spins his business web
from the branches of the systems tree.
On a poor fly trapped
in the bondage of regulations
and eaten up in her own sexuality.
But subversive winds of change
blows through the branches
destroying the spiders web of gain.
Then crying rain comes roaring down
and the spider is washed up;
down into a muddy drain.

Cry to Heaven (revise)
she has no where to turn
let the black fire burn
over you
my but of few
she scream in her mind
i am caught in a bind
no why me
this can't be
he tells her God wants you to kill
take a reality pill
she thinks
not be able to speak
her mouth is taped
he takes is true shape
and reachs for a knife
you are my wife
now do as i say
she prays for the day
that someone rescues her
she crys out to heaven
and lo and behold seven
angel apear
and say have no fear
for they know the man on top of her is not a man
but a beast
ready to feast
on her soul
the demon run towards them
as they sing a hyme
and the demon crawls away
as the trees sway
her crys to heaven had been answered.

Yes, I can see why you want the comments, and I too like the comments on poems. Your poem is good, but I do admit it is a bit hard to follow at the beginning. It does go great together though, at the end I could see how it went together.

Façade
Fire, fury, and flames
Consuming the depths of my soul.
Blistering burns from the anger,
Screeching screams from the hells depths.
Outside I am calm and collected,
Cheerful and playful.
Like a morning songbird.
Inside I am boiling and igniting,
Hating and sneering.
Like forest exploding in a hell raze.
You have no idea the pain I go through,
Just to put on a smile for you.
You have no idea how hard it is,
To keep that up all day.
It's gut wrenching.
I pain and scream,
Pain and scream.
That scream is silent,
Yet like the bubbles that silently pop,
Inside a soda can when you shake it,
I fear the day,
That I open up,
And those screams unite into one massive rage.
Until then,
All I can do is smile and wave,
While the fire blazes inside.
Fire, fury, and flames

Aftertime
After, time again
fragile dreams will shed their sin
and into hour's deepest night
will creep the shadow's timid plight
but watch for lark and herald jive
with misty slinking ooze surprise
the chest is turned will sunset ease
and yipping sparrow's gallant needs
emboldened bodice space delete
each second crushed beneath bruised feet
and time again with time to gain
kelpish murmurs rose mundane
in press the yellowed snake's sweet wine
with putrid, briny, feckled kine
jitters moment's ticking past
endarkened in the present's crashed
After, time again
with savage dreams and sunken sin
After time, and again
with nightmare courting and begin
After, time again
fragile dreams will shed their sin
and into hour's deepest night
will creep the shadow's timid plight
but watch for lark and herald jive
with misty slinking ooze surprise
the chest is turned will sunset ease
and yipping sparrow's gallant needs
emboldened bodice space delete
each second crushed beneath bruised feet
and time again with time to gain
kelpish murmurs rose mundane
in press the yellowed snake's sweet wine
with putrid, briny, feckled kine
jitters moment's ticking past
endarkened in the present's crashed
After, time again
with savage dreams and sunken sin
After time, and again

Hatred
One night last week
I dug a hole for you in the yard
sat out on the porch with the lightning
waiting for the storm to fill it
Soon
the water's gonna rise
enough to hold your head under
but only so deep
I'll jab sticks in your eyes
to keep them open
so you'll see what's coming
when I force you on your knees
You better breathe good
then shut your mouth
for the last time
because the water's all dirty
& it stinks of busted dreams
The moon
will rape your reflection
while I wipe up your slime
tear your tight ass wide
& fuck your shit out too
That'll learn you
some p's & q's
teach you slugs
never to mess
with my beans

Her heart was just as dark as the night sky. Very seldom some would sya they could see some sort of light deep inside.... Like the moon trying to peek out from behind a dark stormy rain cloud.
Her actions were wild. She was one very rarely understood. She took life one day at a time and always had her head held to the sky.
She would lure people in, they were attracted by her untamed ways. A little time spent and they would sink to her like they fell into a pit of quick sand.
She was a free spirit, down to the bone... the experience of knowing her was sometimes left untold.

Scorpio's Confession
Scorching day, frozen night, yet beneath the sand all is still
no hint of emotion, dark passion that burns volcanic beneath
Secrets kept, secrets cherished, and secrets protected, always
as much a part of me as the masque I wear, perfectly concealing
It’s not that my façade is a lie, just not the complete truth
for you see the dark ugliness is so very much more appealing
Yes, I color within the lines, follow all the rules, do my duty for now ...
a frayed conscience all that's between me and a capacity for great evil
Always equipped with my stinger, I can inflict pain and yes do relish it
whether I sting others or feel the barbed tip myself, perverted twisting
But deep within my veins courses a most deadly poison, so necrotic
it’s only thru spilling it on the virgin page that I am able to survive
Calling me complicated is too simplistic, barely scratches my veneer
I'm a black thorny knot that can bloody any fingers trying to untie it
So, relax, come closer, try to get to know me - but then only if you dare
just don't ever betray me and watch very closely upon where you tread
