Most Commented Dark Poetry Poems (2,485)

i had
a dream
like seaweed creeping
over inside
dark horse in hell
floating upside down
in a pond within
a jelly
like substance

taking over
the brain
cutting haxsaw
tearing beauty asunder
grinding down pain
look into this soul
inside buckled over
in deep hurt

the dark horse
has arrived back
in time
dealing with
the hearts pain
this is
how one feels
dealing with this
a very deep hurt

that has ripped
the insides
clean out of me
then friends
attacked so cruelly
i am back
back in
the darker
side of hell

without vision
hello darkness again
my old friend
we meet again
this is exactly
how i feel
in this space
i wrote this
in my time

When I had nothing
you were as close as a brother,
now heaven has smiled upon me
you are another.

I see envy in your eyes,
your heart, you are green,
and it has seeped to
the very core of your being!

Tugging and tearing
at the seams of your consciousness,
'Til kinship, trust and confidence
have gone from us.

And it gnaws at your insides
like worms in your belly,
and for what, when all of mine is yours
pray tell me?

Make right before fate
makes certain your doom,
and you by your envy
are consumed!

You are my poison,
Breaking my soul with your words,
Corrupting my hearts life blood,
Leaving me in pieces,
There is no antidote for this...

Beneath a purple votive sky
He twists and turns and screams out ‘Why’
But everywhere he turns and seeks
Nothing there, in the silence no-one speaks

In pain and despair he sits and cries
While overhead a lone angel flies
‘Oh God!’ he calls, ‘can you hear?
By death and corruption I’m surrounded I fear.’

But God was dead, or so it seems
Or at best, lost in his dreams
Near and far and in-between
It all appears so very obscene

In despair he turned all around
Nowhere at all was it to be found
Maybe the truth was much, much more
And some things you had to pay for

Im a real guy,
With real eyes,
I realize the real lies,
I read between the lines,
See through the thin disguise,
Everyone tries to cry wolf to me,
Telling me things expecting belief,
They repeat the same stories,
Of yesterdays glories,
Layed out before me,
This web of deciet,
No surprise now when lies
Come from everyone I meet,
Through their teeth,
Come tales,
Some great and some small,
How they did big things,
How they lost it all,
What is it called?,
Its no longer a fib,
It gets more involved,
as they make up shit,
Remembering only lies,
They're all that they've got,
Cant tell anymore whats real,
Whats not,
This is exactly how they seem to think,
White lies grow dark as fast as they blink,
Black as night like stars they wink,
I sink,
Into a realm of distrust,
Watching everyone,
Wondering what they want...

I listen to my poor heart beat,
Sad and slow,
It grows so weak,
Like it just wants to give up,
Alone and tired,
It's had enough,
Seems a transplants what I need,
A cold and hard unfeeling machine,
With circuits wires and batteries,
I'm seeking the toughest that they make,
I need a heart that will not break...

Lover
yes the love you evoke
the heart you wove
spirit you broke

A shade am I
seek the Witch of Endor

In Sheol
my soul
yes my love
darkness unfolds

In Sheol
one weepeth dust
wind blows cold

feeling is lost
struggle to breathe
seas are tossed

Was I dead my lover
yes I believe so
the shroud my cover

You arose from death
shined love upon me
I am resurrected
blind but now I see...

A heavy weight
Black shadows
Upon the shoulders
Halloween night
Passover of souls
Lead heavy
As wings fall
Expelled from
The garden
That of Eden
Bent down
In grief
I cried
love lived

My burning passion
Shattered to
be saved
Broken grows stronger
Like a fireworks
Lighting up
The sky

On my knees
I fell
without mercy
As the cobra
Danced around truth
Biting emotions
To the ground
Drove straight
Into the dark side
Of a dream
Boiling nightmares
Sewing hell
Into the deep

A distorted face
Clouds vision
No longer
Do I see
Beautiful colours
Instead of petals
Your thorns
Rip the heart
Black turns
The rose and dies

Growing two horns
Boiling stew
Seething hot pain
To begin roasting
Pushing to
the deepest
Tormenting in hell
Hissing spitting out
A poisonous
stew of words

A forked tongue
The deceiver
Crawling under
The skin
Coiling serpent
Without truth
Burning lies
Twists then turns

Destroyer of dreams
Nightmares burns
A circle
Drawn with
a poisonous tongue
Within hell
Dancing moths
In silver shadows
Reality one
see's light
it saved my soul
this very night

Stuck in a world where truth has died
darts of lies sting my insides
They burn a hole so deep guts and gore spill to the floor
I pick them up blood oozing between my fingers
Hot and sticky
I may die as I stare in horror
Sinister voices try to lure me
to convince me of truth
coming through gritted slobbering teeth
I feel their darts hit and slither
covered in slime of another lie
cradling my bloody contents
looking through a hazy sludge
trying to find an impregnable force
while the lies turn into an apocalypse
The darts rain from a once blue sky
There is no safe place to hide
If only truth were still alive

It was a tragic love affair
I may just quit it all
perhaps become a bum
hop aboard a lonesome train...

She was a first true love
such long raven hair
so dark and lovely
all the way to her scaly feet...

A wholesome lady
who loved cornbread
all day long with beak lips
my corn loving lady..

As a joke she would yell "caw"
and begin flapping her arms
then one day as she sat on a fence
some guy hunting shot her...
