Best Blackened Poems
Scarred and BlackenedScarred and Blackened
In Tasmania’s rugged but scenic South West
Lies an ancient land of pristine wilderness
Protected by a World Heritage Listing
An eco-system a thousand years nesting
A land of Aboriginal spiritual dreamtime
Where rare native flora survives, like Pencil Pine
And fauna abound on the Button Grass plains
With rugged...

The BlackenedThis tale is true and mine. A world
Of wonder and color surrounded me
Long-ago. Bliss, fulfillment and freedom
Dwelled by my side. This picturesque planet,
For a person who renders it useless.
Me: an inmate imprisoned in darkness.
Colors bleed out in streams of absence
As...

Hath Thy Blackened Heart Replaced Blood With StoneHath Thy Blackened Heart Replaced Blood With Stone
Why hath thy wanton greed no end in sight
seeking to cover day by dark of night
Why would thy greed led to destroy thy own
as in thy Nature's destruction thus shown,
slash and burn forests in thy awful greed
deny future...

Journey Through Time's Long Blackened MazeJourney Through Time's Long Blackened Maze
Avoiding many pitfalls, I walked a narrow ledge
a tramp searching for treasures that would heal
empty soul since death had stolen so much
had cast sorrows as ocean waves of grief
as solemn shores of jagged glass
bare...

Blackened IWings,
springs and metallic Strings
flesh and bone;
Nails...
In stone.
Sliver shone;
On Blackened Sand death has ran…
Skulls and auto things; blood and sweat...
Blue tears flown
across a desert of Red;
Alone.
Death had ran
under a dark sun
with wings made
of Sting and Metallic Springs!...

Through the Flames of Her Blackened Heart--A cobwebbed threshold
of her festering wound.
The foul rush of shadow and abandonment
spoiled just beyond recognition.
Embers of a chaotic ritual
and venom searing vehemently
through the flames of her blackened heart
becoming death’s latest rendezvous.
Darkness has a tight grip on her
even light refuses to set her...

Across Figurative and Literal Blackened White BoardAcross figurative and literal blackened white board...
Where death of democracy writ large,
nevertheless psychological strength predominates
unlike earlier chapters of mein kampf.
Mine hardscrabble existential debacle
spelled losing game
swept me up in malevolent mindset
far adrift from harbored haven;
I floundered like a fish out of water
entangled...

Blackened SeedsA hot body
was a hymn to the night.
I will drink
the moonlight.
In December-
a poem ? Words freeze
in full bloom. The
corona becomes blue.
A rose bud breached.

Blackened SailsHow often do these tiny blooms
Of sorrow fill my soul?
In songs of fire lit long ago
Left burning by the snow.
How often do these solemn dreams
Speak of my troubled soul?
And sink my heart ten depths apart
From blackened tainted ores.
How often does my ship set sail
To...

Blackened HeartLet's talk about what I don't want you to know
The things that hurt, the ones I never want to show.
They've stuck in my mind and blackened my heart
Its only logical to go to the rape and start.
A day I found how evil man can truly...

Blackened HeartSmoke is everywhere
Deep breath
Inhale
Blow out
You smell it
It smells of death
You poison other people
Around you
Near you
You hate
You know it does no good
You dont care though
You take in another breath
Think of everyone
You're affecting
Blow out
You start to laugh
Smile on your face
You love hurting people
You don't care about them
Breath...

Blackened HeartFreezing cold
New and old
Haunts my soul
Hate is my only foe
Blackened heart
Made from the start
Evil my one true art
My tortured bones
Again alone
Know one dares to break my hate stone
Rants of rage
Fills this page
For the new age
To burn and blame
Inside this devilish flame
Lies my...

Blackened CrozierLet it remain
ovarian pure. After strangulating
the truth,
for hypoxic euphoria.
Flies in your face
the dirt,
the denial, the terracota
of superposition of speech
hiding self-interest.
Blackened crozier
for wrinkeled crotch
drops the ashes of love
on unopened buds.
Weeping willow sways
in warm winds of prayers.
Strawberry in holes
nothing like bruise.
SATISH VERMA...
