Most Liked Dark Poetry Poems (2,488)

I dreamed of deep strewn poetry
yet scattered upon the floor
kicked amongst the history
lay bleeding against the door

as strewn papers
and blood within the words
shrilled such wrong
mine eyes

feared to look away
What! such grace
that one has shown
to fall upon your face

grappling irons
lay silent
as hanging
nightmares

stilled at times
with grief
and yet

as shadows of my night
came to only haunt
my sudden flight

sewer streams
flowed between my legs
care not I cast

as lips
cursed
within my blood

take me away
I shall flow

scraping voices
within the mud

Damaged people
you meet online,
are they seeking love?
or there to blow your mind?

Some speak of trust
ladies after money
words of milk and honey,
dressed up in forlorn lust...

Perhaps in the real world
you might know their name,
with damaged people
life is just a game...

Sometimes I am unsure
as to who I am talking to,
could just be a picture
or a vulture after you...

From knife to wrist, rope to neck, and blood to floor. The girl who has never ben herd now is dead and everyone now cares. They say what they would do if they "knew." But they did know, they all knew the pain they put her threw they just don't care. And when the feeling bad ends there are the "cool" girls who change there minds and say "she deserved it" or "she was only looking for attention." There not growing up. I guess everyone has to die for them to get a clue.

Years gone by without a passing soul
right there!, up in the hills with its winding roads.

Then, in midst of darkness an ever increasing small light shone
right there!, coming up the winding roads.

The steel horse stopped with his brute of a king
right there!, at the top of the winding roads.

The light shone bright when he looked around with his mighty view
then saw the ruined darkened place in the undergrowth barely for anyone to see
cautiously he made his way to find out its meaning of cruel true
then turned around half way when the undergrowth became to much to be.

His steel horse carrying that so now frightened brute of something but not a king
right there!, into the darkness going back down the winding roads.

Now beauty who lives up those hills in the undergrowth
will wait patiently for another passing soul,
right there! with its winding roads.

On your shoulder sits a demon
I can clearly see him there
What tempting words does he whisper
To make you act so unfair

Alcohol by the gallons, matters not what
As long as you can keep on drinking
All this pain will fade away
And blissful numbness stops you thinking

'Pour another,' says your demon
'You have almost reached your aim'
And as you sink into your stupor
Finally forgotten is all your pain

As I fall ever earthwards
Closer I am to my death
Wind is rushing past my ears
Setting up such a howling din

I spread my arms to slow my fall
And realise that I have feathers
Catch the wind to rise up high
On the thermals I am soaring

I dip and dive and roll to the left
Watch the earth below me
See the fields stretching far
And the blue ocean beyond them

To my right I see a house
This place that I call home
There my darling waits for me
And my son and two daughters

Then I realise, was just a wish
My chute still hasn't opened
Have time to say a silent goodbye
As my body hurtles earthwards

The sun shone in their eyes like diamonds in the sea
when the devil came to her for no one to see,
Twenty six they counted that very night
when her burning fire inside distinguished its light.

Many moons passed by autumns of life
but by then there were only Mephistopheles of five
the maiden then had long lost her inner child and soul
from missionaries to licentious slave masters as a whole.

The essence of amour came her way
only to be snatched and left in decay
In forgotten time slowly black nights turned to silver
when chance came she pulled the caliver

A thousand and one were buried that past
when she walked out into the light through the everblast
the servant without a soul and heart
free from torment and torture of body part.

Years gone by across the water with worlds in between
the living dead recovered but the devil was never again to be seen;
As immortality follows her everywhere and afield
she sought after a shining knight in armor at wield.

It gets so hard sometimes I don't want to face life
As I impatiently wait for my time to rise
So much anger and hatred built up inside
As I look to the heavens and as my God WHY
Sometimes I wish I could hold the sun in my hand and make time stand still
Because reality harsh and it grips my fear
But from cradle to grave I have to stand strong
No more standing in line it's time to move on
MOVE ON…..!

Because every moment is precious
And everything I love will turn to dust

I whispered into the emptiness afraid of what I'm might hear
But even more afraid that there would be nothing there
My shadow casted fear and gave a reason for my pain
As my thoughts became like rotten fruit and they began to fall away
My lips utter desperately from deep inside a broken heart
I look up to the heavens, but my flesh stays hidden in the dark
Where silence fills the voids to disengage and disrepair
Better days let me escape and evaporate into the air
I sit beside myself when I'm alone at night
As I listen to the melodies of the dead trying to capture a life
And from this sorrow loneliness became my only friend
While emptiness replayed their voices over and over again

I was not asking for an heart ripping battle - yet you declared war!

You thought that with each knock and a louder roar you aimed at me

That you scared me and had me falling to the floor

BUT

Instead you made me stronger than ever before

From the external hull to my inner core

I will not give up! I will not give in!

As you cannot make me fall because I never will let you win!
