The Dark Side!

Foreboding with No Escape!

Tis Hell, this darkness of the mind

Swirling deep within, a terror lies there deep

It has no bars of prison, but how does one escape this madness that dost creep?

A sickness of the darkness, a plague, it makes a lonely living grave

Blackness like a glue overtakes control

A stickiness of gloom, a dastardly never ending tomb

It moans it’s part of me, the evils of the seeking soul

The sickness, the very thought, the loneliness of growing old

Creatures of the night abound, such dread of being here alone

The crust of life is very thin, darkness comes, crushes and overcomes

Howls of fear pierce the night but they cannot escape this cavern of the mind

The mind beasts will not set one free

They have no piety, there’s no one to share,
this lonely heart of me!

They seed the mind with loneliness, share not, never give you peace and never let you go

Tis like a place in hell, a place you do not want to know!

You are captured, a shadowy figment of the mind
entrapped in a tomb deep within the darkness far below and … all alone!

Dark Poem
By

Tormented
Tormented with the Pain of Loneliness!

It crawls within the abscess of ones mind
A darken place where no one comes!

An abyss that knows no peace
A dark hole of it’s own making, a place to hide

Monster of mind’s depths
A place it hides, it gives no rest

It snarls and howls in the darkened lonely night
Grotesque features an awesome creature
that gives such fright

It lives, do you not see it,
oh how it hides, behind that rock,
over there in it’s nook, oh please beware

I wish that it would go away
But no, it stays with me, it found it’s home

It screams, it tears, knowing every lonely pain
It is deep inside, it is insane

It feeds on me, will not go away
There is no one that I can tell

It’s making my life a living hell!
It haunts me night and day

It wants of me as I of you,
To end this lonely feeling the whole night though

It comes to me, it knows it’s name!
I cry loneliness and it comes,
feeling of our sharing pain

Loneliness, I know it well, because I feel it too
Because I travel the world without you!

No one to share this loneliness with,
Oh what shall I do

Oh why did you go first,
I wanted too

In a world of many people
And many fish that live in the sea
Why is loneliness within, still living with me!

Sad is the Poet!
(Alone!)

Its water around
Tried catching a glimpse of
that eternal land of gods......
and that envied canopy of natures love
but its water around, with endless boundaries....

Dipped deep, to see her ethereal beings
mesmerized by her creative brilliance
she kept me aloof in her depth
Oh!! Can't hold this tightening breath....
Pushed back to get that smelly air....

No sign of that land....that divine land...
Maa...the soul cried with daunting thoughts
With no other go, swimming further
Maa...Oh divine.. this voyage never ends....
Spirit, endless spirit pushed further....

Actionable body has shrugged
A non energetic divine wisdom
occuppies the restless space.
Further travel seems hopeless,
let it drown with hopes of hopeless....
Oh!! Ethereal beings enjoy this dinner
Under that endless sky
with smiling stars and curious moon......
Oh!! Ethereal Beings enjoy this dinner.....

Racing to the hidden cave
scratched bones upon the wall

a refuge within a darkness
lit of memories told

the warm of fire
shall not engulf the trembling
bodies of fear

It must go out!

but to open the lids of sight
heaving breathes
of the dying
might

dripping sweat falling
into the lines of age

a haunted silence
like lowered clouds of mist

hanging bats twitching to the scuff

insects crawling to dive
deep within the
cusp

as hooves of thunder rolled upon the sky

within my retreat
I guarded
silent

where they shall always

Lie


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beneath the wounded sky sails she
In a crystal boat of long lost memories
Sails of gossamer wings spread out
Pushed by winds of regret and sorrow

Beneath the waves souls doth float
Misshapen, bent and twisted
Crying out for eternity long
“Have mercy Lord, forgive us.”

Up above, circling in the sky
With razor sharp talons flashing
Ready to drop on command
God’s revenge shall be extracted

Today, tomorrow, no difference knows
Each day flow into the other
Eternity is but a blink of God’s eye
Yet the suffering lasts forever

So on she sails beneath that sky
Not knowing what’s the difference
Is this today or yesterday
In the end it does not matter

Why!

Tempt yea bee, not with riches of this now place world

For it bee not an eternity for you to reap

Meek ye are, not so to inherit a part to take with you into the neither land… for wherefore is such a place

For your place is in the land of never bee

Forsaken to the blackness of the unknowing and the unseen by man

The lowly worm is mightier then thou

For when you depart into the bowels of the earth

They feed, within thy very bones

The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out, they are therefore in charge for a brief moment here upon this earth

Time will erase any markings that thou might have cast in this illusion of fictional dimension

Like the, wearing down of the mighty stones to wind blown sand

For are we not all but specks in a black ebb that eventually swallows us up in both space and time

Are we not but mirrored objects passing bye to be obliterated by it’s breaking of the glass

Who’s toy are we … played with … by who

Foresooth, why, why, why I search for why … do not we all!

Pondering - disillusionment - Why were we put here - Is there an afterlife - Is there a god?

There are so many religions in this world …
So many beliefs in different ways …
I believe in the freedom of religious beliefs
Or non-belief if that is their wish

But to find the answers why are we here and where are we going … or if in our passing … we just cease to exist … to be no more … I know not why

I believe life is not complicated when it ceases it than becomes a complete blank … like no more electricity is available because of a blown fuse!

One that Ponders
JimEee

PS … I wish not to offend anyone
I only ponder why?

Behind these eyes you do not see
What’s really in here hiding
If you knew, you’d die of shock
And pray to God for deliverance

Blood red splattered walls
As the knife slowly slides in you
From groin to throat the flesh parts
Your insides wet and shiny

One quick yank, your intestines out
And around your throat I wind them
The look of shock on your face
Moments like this is what I live for

I nod and smile and shake your hand
And wish you a day so pleasant
Agree with you that it’s a lovely day
As we head off in different directions

How close you came you’ll never know
This monster here inside me
Come the day, when escape he will
And this day is coming closer

Hate! A poison that festers in the heart and passed from person to person,country to country. A cancer spreading,seeking in persute of distruction. It hides in the guise of love,and lives in the hearts of the destroyers of trust and morale. Braker of dreams, killer of hope.Hate alive in those that never really cared.

I was left at death's gate,
Insidious filled hate,
Comrades from earlier dates,
Just waiting to see me dead.



we fought wars side by side,
Staying alive with fruits and worm like,
Now they're the ones I'm running from,
Just to meet another day soon.



I died a few minutes only,
Brought back for a second chance,
Revenge is not my main cause,
The lost and pain is my cost.



Its raining outside,
I'm waiting inside,
Payment is long overdue,
Tonight I'm coming for you.

I don’t want to co-exist, I don’t want to exist,
Someone please tell me, why I feel like this..
I gave a shout, I gave a yelp,
But yet no one, came to help.
I bent to my knees, as I begged and pleaded,
But yet no one, gave me what I needed.

I prayed for a home and was left alone,
I prayed for a job and received not a loan,
I prayed for food and obtained not a bone…

I find myself at a crossroad and I don’t know which path to take.
One is to remain in this situation, continue on..
While another is to be brave and finally leave home..
The last contains a skull, mouth ajar, a silent groan..
Ha, Oddly I’ve once traveled the third, Why? Your help was too late.

I currently want to travel the 2nd to see what life has to offer me,
But I find myself stuck on the “How?” permanently..

I’m beginning to feel like a failure more and more,
As I watch my Dreams, fall to the Floor,
It shatters with a “Clash!”
The sound feels like a whiplash,
Upon my soul….upon..my soul..
As I dread, I’ll never be whole.

What is talent, if it gets you nowhere?
What is family, if you can’t find them anywhere?

Let me tell you about a certain Family,
They know your struggles, they know what you lack,
They only give kind words, to say they have your back,
Ha, don’t they know that only alleviates the pain temporarily?
But you smile anyway because that’s whats expected,
You pretend to be happy, because that's whats expected.

You pretend to live on…but everyday…
Although you smile..you feel your Life drain away..
You see everyone else happy but none ever comes your way,
Then finally You see opportunity, but it passes you by,
Why?
I’m afraid our dreams..my dreams..live only in the sky…
