Best Blackout Poems

Dawn- Emily Dickinson
Night grows
So that we can touch
The spaces,
Time, 
And faded midnight....

I have all but lost my faith, 
And I am certain I never know 
My Mind is the only safe escape-
As the Woes of Life doth take their toll
Lo, this World is all but fair!
(But 'tis only a brief, short-lived stay) 
Oh, my Soul of...

I sat in my room
Watching TV
When all of a sudden
Something tuned on the screen
A prison escapee not far from here
Was said to have been spotted somewhere near.
I boarded the windows
Locked all the doors
Closed all the curtains
And got to the floor
I told myself there was nothing...

a gray day
Rain falls 
   so pleasant

WIND blows 
       so meek


Come 
       home

Allows to hear nature sounds
In the rainy night...

I was in a bar

I was struck in the head
3 times
The knee
3 times

Didn't step back
Didn't go down
Striking stopped

I walked out

Don't know who hit me
Just know he was 
lucky

Lucky he didn't
take on
a tough guy...

This world seizes to amaze me
as my hate grows stronger for my enemies
same old pattern day and night
so i wake up filled with hate as they constantly fight

i want to see everything black
no more comfort for the spoiled, immature and wack
no more drugs pumping in...

dark tremors do take one to unlighted places,
what triggers this loss of our hold on the paces?
cold scared and alone in reality unknown, 
yet still footprints i leave in a world of my own
drenched, shaking the chill off from journeys in stoned
waking dreams shatter faces...

UNSUPPORTED CODE 

You're one of my favorite moments,
Always takes by me by surprise,
With a flick of the switch, whatever which,
You take all the light from my eyes.

Pure silence always follows,
Whenever our paths' do cross,
For only a moment, maybe another,
If only to ensure we're not lost.

Suddenly...

Blackout

 In the darkness of the pupil
 fragments of chaos float
 like a life belt in a stormy sea
 close enough
 but at the same time
 So far away
 An eternal fight without a winner
 Eyes never lie
 Shadows sleep in them
 and when I...

Disastrous
upended
trajectory 
again and again
bucking efforts
a palpable sense
shifted
knowledge 
even among the most defiant
believe the writing is on the wall....

Eye contact is
grey and clear.
I don't hear
screaming...
then
two small children
fidget
and speak in
fortifying walls...
and then
my lips are parched
and I can't swallow.
I marvel at them,
like two white doves
waiting to take flight.
I tilt my head 
to see
flesh 
and bone
and ash.

I
Excellence in service, equalities
In society: access to every utility
Makes men and me dependent
Until depending on undependables
Makes us meek, mad or uncivilized
But for those accidental attractions

Like stars at night, without man's light
Beautiful, delicious darkness
Sets off the diamonds in domed Crown
Sliver of a moon makes memories
Old and...

Trees and branches sway.
The power has moved outside.
The house is too still.

A wren chirps sweetly,
defying chaotic winds--
innocent solace...
