Most Liked Dark Poetry Poems (2,488)

Darkness beckons with pretty fingers
Silken voice
Smooth like honey
Come make a choice
Enter in my warmth
Let me enter you
Together, I can make your wildest dreams come true
Afraid to go in
My head starts to spin... I see the shapes
They twist within, writhing, no dancing...
I hear my name
Dark at war with the light
As I stand on the edge
Fight or flight
A victim of Medusa, I must be
Please help me
I want to flee
Oh come to me now
Love's truest Knight
And take me o'er
Help me fight
I will not surrender
I have a hope still
While I'm alive,
It is called...
My Will.

Let us imbibe together
And toast our victory
Our preference is champagne

Raise them high to Heaven
Defiance we shall shout
We will not bow down

Tomorrow brings what it may
Let all take heed and ware
For never shall we care

Drawing from the spirit of Steve
Crowing each morning
singing to the light
Six million dollar rooster
In bionic terms

I would lift him up all proud
Aged about nine at the time
He was the champion
Lifting stones
Feeding him worms

Followed us like a dog
He was the top rooster in the yard
given to me as a pet
I looked after him
like royalty

One sad day
Home from school
He went missing
Calling for him in the garden
Nowhere to be seen

Mother shouts
Dinner will be ready in five
I asked if she saw Steve
No was the reply
A few minutes later

Called in
Sitting down at the table
To a leg of chicken
Accompanied with chips
Finished eating
My father began
Roaring laughing

When I asked about the rooster
He laughed you just ate
one of his legs
I burst out crying
Trying to get sick
What a monster

Balling out
roaring crying
My mother tried to put her arms
around me
I pushed her away

Horrified at what she done
Sure she cooked him
I could not believe it
Thinking she was always
Very kind to me

I was so sick
could not believe
Just ate my favorite pet
Went to the bed
Cried myself to sleep

No more Steve
Food of thought
Watching out the window
Before sleep

As the dogs ate
The last of him
I still remember fondly
With chips

I see the light
In your darkness
Only now
I crow
In the light

I said it would be different
prosperity was mine,
but mine was just a hopeless wish
an idea with no time.

It ebbed and flowed
with fierce desire,
too late I call myself
a liar.

I tried but what was meant
was naught;
a goal I thought that
any sought.

The little girl- a little fool
whose dreams were all for naught.
Twas happiness and friendship,
goodwill was what she sought.

And now the years have
loosed their bounds,
so swiftly and
without a sound.

The grand finale
yet to come,
a song of life
whose end is one.

What fiend attacks me now?

I'm not sure why or how.

It's ice and then it's fire.

Will I reach my one desire?

My moods are like the shadows
that come and go at will,

rising even higher and
falling deeper still.


In solitude, I write and feel.

In solitude, I bend and kneel.

Times are very hard...you see,
the shadows have enveloped me,

Life's trials and tribulations
have beaten down my heart.
My arm,my foot,my very life
have come to fall apart.

Berated , robbed, and
broke for sure,
my melancholy knows
no cure.

Stripped of all
my hearts desire,
greed and pain
have doused the fire.

Yet I struggle to survive,
I'm here just quietly alive.

What have I done??
Why must I pay
for things that
I've not done-no way!
This avalanche of
weighted doom
has locked me in
a small black room.
There are no handles,
doors, or holes-
prolonged detention's
warped my soul.
The jackpot of ill fortune
came
and on the side
it had my name.
The ashes of
the fire left
me burned
and totally bereft.

A little light still
shines inside
after misery's
evil ride.
Do not go out
my sovereign star,
for what I am is
what you are.

Darkness off the night
The kiss of the frost in the air
Moving tree sssss
Flutter
The cold darkness
Shadows
The wind blows hisses sssss in the trees
Shadows envelopes
Darkness scares presenses white glowing outlines
Slow movement
Whispers of voices beware
The glowing spectures
Of them who have been
Life now gone from them
Resident of time past the wind echos from the stone headstones
Their name careved the rememberd they are

A haunting melody drifts through the dark,
Tugging and pulling at strings in my heart,
As I swing and sway the music abounds,
I see the light but move towards the sound,
Slowly as they lower me into the ground,
I'm going to a better place now,
In the empty black is a beautiful song,
Singing of all the things I've done wrong,
Showing what I'll leave behind,
A sad pathetic twisted life,
A horrid world of broken lies,
Now it's not so cold inside,
In a firey room warm and soothing,
This is the doom of my own choosing,
I go to meet my ultimate end,
Come and dance with my friends...

You have left my soul lost in darkness,
I cannot find my way out,
I must let you go...,
Please pass away,
So that I may feel again,
Please let in the light,
So that I may see again,
Please unchain my bonds,
So that I may have freedom,
Please let me be,
So that I may love....
