Best Darkly Poems

Falling through pompous poems, spiraling
Slippery sinking, rhyming rolling
In down directions, foreign for me
Cascading in chalkboard screechy sounds
Hanging by nails that can catch and clasp
Clinging to hollow hopes once grasped
Sliding sorrows, long lost dreams dashed
Descending dusty thoughts that propel
Nothing now left of me, you can tell...

Raging, fierce winds of Mars
marched across Earth’s skyscape,
	in the season of the decline of Man
Fall of the God-chosen specie,
autumn of impending extinction
Twas an apocalyptic mushroom noon
	when the radioactive rains descended
upon the cities of carnage
War-torn topography uterine shelters were closing,
as phallic missiles were radar target trace...

Europe won't survive a cold winter
  Israel's and Saudi's ties to us grow thinner
Latin America now under communism's spell
  Iran, India, Turkey among Russia's clientele

Mr. Putin's grand strategy now nearly in place
  Come say a prayer for the human race
Ukraine can't hold...

Alone upon a foggy night, 
With waxing moon a ghostly light, 
Resounded wings.
My mind contrived a murders flight, 
While lack of cawing did rewrite, 
Infernal things.
Resigned to capture budding fright; 
I drew the curtains snugly tight; 
My nerves hairsprings.
And though a superstitious rite; 
I wore...

Darkness and I have become allies,

 affinity by association's shadowed prayer

     spoken of the same kindred language,

consanguinity in our devout appeal

  of blackening night's smoky exposure,

like a coke whore I obligingly snort it

doomed to partake in a dreadful flight

The poetess walks along a darkened hallway
Listening for the answers in the night
Her heart contained behind a glass doorway

She sees her heart pulsating with white light
Pounding on the opaque glass she screams
listening for the answers in the night

Behind this door imprisoned are her dreams
Heart on...

You keep out everything I don’t want to see
How can I fall for someone else
Feels like theres no escape
From everything I feel that could keep me from being so happy
Its so darkly beautiful when we touch
Like stars colliding creating cosmic dust

Dark beautiful, how is the...

Here I stand
In the arms of a comely apocalypse
Foreseeing my deathly fortune
Reality never served as a good friend

But it was in that moment
When the sun shed her darkly grin
And hummed a song of comfort
In the mass of increasing terror...

The mists of life rise and fall
As we seek to discern our call.
In our human strength,
We stumble,day by day
To find the narrow path;
Then ,enlightened by his grace
We quench the inner quest....

Through a Glass, Darkly

      This first translation of an unwritten poem
      By Jorge Luis Borges stands against
      Invisible Spanish on the left-hand page
      Sadly imperfect...

Through the keyhole darkly,
  he could now remember his name

Through the keyhole darkly,
  his medicine kicked in once again

Through the keyhole darkly,
  he knew his daughter by her face

Through the keyhole darkly,
  he was back home in his space

Through the keyhole...

I know you see me from up there,
from halfway up the steep and twisting lane.
In early half-light as you take your walk
I no doubt seem to loom as you descend,
appear to grow, to rise from earth,
my boxlike rectilinearity,
severe and unadorned geometry,
a silhouette against the solitary...
