Best Darksome Poems


Gothic Loneliness

Darksome night and shining moon,
hearken to her echo In blue...
fragmanted woods spreading aroma..
The scars of my karma turn erotica... 
She didnt fly she is coming down...
A faithful eve, wearing a black gown..
I was born in love with thee,
So why this world stands in between..?
I am her posession, She is my darkness..
Oh how I wish this world to embrace..
 I hate this blood soaked field of glory,
I am grateful to her for this soliditary..
A tiny grain of ego, lust and lies...
Divinity told her to break the ice...
Seeing world in such postition...
Universe laugh for the  final perdition...
She blessed me with divine words,
Which never connects me with this world...!

Jewels of Love

When fearful voices in the night began to cry,
Roaring from countless dreams behind the scream,
Dribbled eyes gazing into darkness at the vast sky,
This darksome turn, down into a wet pool of frown.
 
Perhaps the living of everyday hurts so much
Being stuck in this world always fooling around,
Dredged with pain and despair of being watch,
Drowning with whatever pleasure can be found. 
 
But I feel far away from the depressed bridge
Hearing echoes of merry din sounds in the distance,  
Lapping floating charge, cleared and cheered the barge.
Sent in the midst, to bring glorious untwist deliverance.
 
Into space where stars reside in overwhelming glory,
There is only thing in life more radiant and beautiful
As the reflections beaming from an infinite galaxy,
It is a sultry truth that slides down far into our soul.
 
The jewels of love shines brightest in the human heart,
With universal temptations from acres of diamonds,
Shining brightly in the vast atmosphere of perfect light 
Filling all the void of emptiness with unique demands.   
 
Let love break down the walls that surround the region,
With the Eternal Light selected source of happiness,
And move belief to fill our days with deeper expectation,
By discovering love, the smoothest jewel of bliss.

Forever Flow

1.
The clouds flew in embrace with the wind,
In occassions many, they came together,
To bless the land with manna dew and
To bring to rest the flames of the heart,
To call to the winter moon and bring to
The animals a moment of peaceful sleep.
But it stays not long and embarks on a 
Journey new to a new spring. 

2.
The stream laments the pained moments
Of brutal separations and the beautiful
Recollections of the steady comfort in the 
Embrace of her fellow companions when 
They loitered hand in hand with the wind,
But she goes on still with a heavy heart,
Adorned with the memories of glory and  
Dreams of hope.

3.
The stars burn with the 
Fires not extinguished of the past,
They comfort the heart in every journey,
With the pleasing assurance of 
The eternal burning of memories in 
Moments of despair,
The path can be the sweet garden of 
The thousand roses or the darksome valley 
Of the thousand thorns, but there will  
Aways be the little moments of peace, when
The eyes can get lost in the stars, to 
Reminisce about what it was,  
The feet will gain strength and a new
Journey will begin.

Rise

Slowly falling away...losing life's game
Say you love me, but it's not the same
I miss you so much and you know so well
I miss your touch and you can clearly tell

Under your spell in this darksome cell
I fell into your rabbithole and going pell-mell
Is this a heaven, disguised as living hell?
These hardships got a hold of me and I hide in my solitary shell

Slowly falling away...my vibrant voice fails me again
Say you care about me as I dwell in my moonlit den
I miss you tremendously and God knows and you know
I've tried to win your heart of serenity - my efforts will show

The pros and cons of life will make me stronger
I must fight back with might and not be a forlorner
Conjure confidence and cheerfulness in my joyous and woeful lifetime a little longer
Dance to the music of my mesmerizing, meandering mindset and it will be your cure

Remarkable how time flies these eccentrically reckless, dark days
Say you'll be staying with me forevermore, the one I simply adore
Kiss me soft and slow, but sure in many make-believe ways
Turn me on and pretend to fulfill me with satisfaction galore

I feel swell without your doubting spirit of scorching, kindling uncertainty
I fell into the blackhole of your soul of serene sincerity and fearless honesty
You are seven times a seven in my heart's beautiful, compassionate tune
These tribulations have given me difficult tests to conquer, so embrace me real soon

Overcome the waves of emotion and collide with me, outlandish ocean, creating erosion
Numb the grief-stricken and be my darling devotion of elegant, empathetic efflorescence
Drastic dreariness damages my cranium of rainbow emotion and creative commotion
Some individuals dream dreams of burning bridges, brewing brazen benevolence

You can truly tell that I miss you so, but you got to reap what you sow
I love the way you make me feel though...let the plants of peace grow
Say you adore who I'm becoming right now - a man of beloved bravery
Fly me to successful heights, for I want to rise above my negativity

You Found Me

Feeling under pressure
Lost a little by pleasure
Due to what I did on my leisure
I’m sorry, God, I let you down for sure

Dealing with the side effects now…right now..
I’m the one that’s a horrible individual anyhow

I can’t keep it all inside
One of these days, 
It’s going to bubble back up
And it’s going to overflow…
Like this guilt…this guilt…
Lord, am I strongly built?

I knew you were troublesome from the start
I knew you were the one that tore me apart
I knew better than to trust you with my heart
I knew you were quite a darksome piece of art

I committed so many nasty sins…I committed so many abominable sins 
It’s not even funny anymore…
I try to forgive myself, but it’s as difficult as walking on needles and pins
It leaves me breathless and sore…

I’m sorry…I apologize greatly…I really do, Father of truth
I gave in to the Father of lies…
I gave in to the heartless goodbyes
I am like rotten teeth that doesn’t have a healthy tooth 

I lost it all in vain –
It feels like it at least
Am I really sane?
I am this hideous beast…
Without his beauty…
Without his eternity…

I am shaken to the core…to the core…
Who is there for me to simply adore? 
Think of me as you spend your days 
Away from me…doing your own ways

I pray I don’t lose my faith today…what can I say?
Keep me in your prayers day by day
I’m crying out tremendously for something more 
I want to be a success just like everybody else…
I’m trying to be stronger than what I was before
I know, on my leisure time, I did wrong...sin sells…
Keep me in your prayers day by day
I was addicted to sick desires that lead me astray

I love You…I don’t show it enough, that’s true 
I hate Satan for all he has done and will do…

Feeling under pressure
Lost a little by pleasure
Left unsure as usual, what’s new?
Left unsure as a fool…time wasted and its consequences seem cruel…

But, actually…honestly…
It’s somewhat fair…
Free me and you’ll see
That I have so much wisdom and experience to share…
Nothing compared to Christ though
Send me happiness when I’m low

I’ve fallen deeper in trouble, I dare say
I’m calling for You, but no answer or any cure…
My prayers and cries, please don’t delay 
I’m looking around for You…I will surely endure…

You found me,
Lifted

The Interlude of Aphradere: Iridescent Turbulence

God, I am overwhelmed within me,
But you are merciful everlastingly
You release your sincere spirit of shameless serenity
And you wash me thoroughly with it wholeheartedly,
For I've been lost for many a year
I must grin in gladness ear to ear
Fill my bathtub with cheer,
Oh waters of Aphradere

I am content, but down low once more…
I've been brought low, but what for?
I have been troublesome to the core, 
For change has been a challenging chore

Engulf yourself into the iridescent island of haven
Eager to reach the highest point in this darksome den
Empathy is in your elevating eyes of mirth
Escape with me to paradise, away from Earth

Drowning in the waters of Aphradere
What's been lost has been lost for many a year
I want to get out of here…
I want to get out of here…

Drowning in the waters of Aphradere
What's been lost can be found, my darling dear
I want to get out of here…
I want to get out of here…

Cheer up, oh sorrowful waters...waters...
Paint a smile upon your sons and daughters
You utter words of wisdom and it gushes so beautifully and oh so bright
You utter words of lost love and it brushes against me day and night

I am disheartened by the removal of your heart against my own
I am discouraged by the disapproval of our togetherness and making very little progress in the making in this bottomless mess
I am on my own in the woods of my meandering mind, feeling alone
I am disdained by the departure of our happiness, abandoned and left behind in the wilderness of meaningless distress 

Drowning in the waters of Aphradere
What's been lost has been lost for many a year
I want to get out of here…
I want to get out of here…

Drowning in the waters of Aphradere
What's been lost can be found, my darling dear
I want to get out of here…
I want to get out of here…

I fear for you, my dear…
Shed not a single tear…
Words were meant to fill the grief-stricken solitude
So, let go and let live...
Waters draw near as we meet our mesmerizing interlude
Let happiness and hope appear
Steer your way out of turbulent seas of Aphradere


Ode To Mother

I've seen a face with a thousand flowers
With eyes as pure as the dew
A happy face in my relaxing hours
With a heart thats pure and true.

The loveliest thing is to be loved by you
For you're the greatest love of all
You're the moonlit sea on the starry blue
That stirs me on to stand tall.

In you I've found that precious friend
Rare a pearl in this darksome world
Comfort sweet when stuck in the den
From a loving heart as pure as gold.

So thanks my love,for being you
That sacred royal blossom
Words can never express,my love so true
My friend,my dearest mom.

Today I Die

I often sailed in stormy seas
Against the fiercest winds
And often pleaded on my knees
To blot my woesome sins.

But sweet days would desert me
And sadness would blow a soft tear
The silent nights would greet me
With the bitter notes of despair.

For in the sultry spring she rose
To welcome the day with a sad sigh
Away from me,oh there she goes
And left me gloomed to blasted die!

For days of old my spirit sprung
That fulgent joy,that loving grace
That her tender heart had sung
To save me from this life of waste.

For she gave me a life of meaning and I
Through my darksome life of vain
Would but these few memories ensky
Where the ancient Gods have lain.

Now this may be the last poem I write
And the very last breath I breathe
But today I die for a love so right
As the amour moon recede.

The Monster Inside

There are darksome days
Those storms we all must ride
But the greatest storm of all
Is the monster tucked inside.

It brings out the worst in you
When sullen days would creep
Its like a raging storm reposing
In a gladsome heart so deep. 

Only in moments to come alive
When emotions tough  are grind
But its hard to tame the fires
Of a proud and monstrous mind.

Eve Unearths Eden

Beyond is Jordan, past the great Red Sea,
a distance cov’ring awesome, frightful years.
Invisible her pathway heading home
while Eve awaits the target of her soul.
Through darksome deserts, wand'ring back again
she learns the whereabouts concerning God.

The Holy Spirit is her breath from God;
she praises Him for opening her sea,
for granting ears to hear Him once again.
He’s been her Shield throughout these many years
since Satan hurled his darts upon her soul.
With thanks to God, she’s on the road called home.

She’s found wherever God is, that is home
and stakes her trust in One eternal God.
Like Josh and Caleb, she’s a faithful soul
to celebrate as she outruns her sea.
Her kith and kin show doubt for countless years -
complaining, fearful, time and time again.

When greed and jealous spirits plague again,
she starts to question what she called her home.
Her feet have tread on alleyways for years.
The place prepared by her omniscient God
has boulevards of gold just past the sea
no sun is needed, Christ will light her soul.

No cause for censure, heaven fills her soul
down here on earth. She ponders once again
by trusting God to clear her way of sea
eternal life begins on her way home.
The Holy Spirit lives within as God
and fills her as His temple all her years.

She trusts Him for the distance and for years
and lives with hope down deep within her soul.
Christ is the link that joins her life to God,
creating in her heart the will to gain
sweet fellowship with Him who wants our home
to be with Him well past this earthly sea.

Through endless years here crossing o’er the sea
Eve bares her soul and finds the perfect home
Almighty God spread Eden's gates again.

In Union

I kissed you soft in the sunlight
You held me tight in the night
Together we blazed the fires
Of our darksome souls so bright.

You wrapped your heart in mines
And I felt your love so strong
A new rare joy has just begun
Beating our hearts as one.

Greek Sonnet

Greek Sonnet 

I write Dionysus poetry 
With a dash of Apollo,
This because darksome poetry
Can kill hope 
And become cynical – we don´t
Want to lose all hope. 
Too much Apollo 
On the other hand
And we lose sight of reality 
Therefor the two gods 
Compliments each other so 
We don´t sink into despondency 
And not into 
Hysterical harp playing lyricism

Lady Death

I travel lonely to find my love
In the stygian caves i crawl
Searching for the chthonic gate
Across the moonlit elysian fields
And a sea of boiling blood
Through a forest of bone 
In the shadows of eternal night
I wonder along listening to an owl’s song
On my way to meet lady death


Santa Muerte we called her
Our lady of holy death
I knew her  only as “my love’
That is all I cared to be


The gods had scorned me 
But she reveled with me 
We played secret games in the moonlight
We played the game of death and life, courage and sacrifice
Even though scorned was I


But all to soon the call had came
And the Widows horse had spun her away
Into the inky shadow of night she faded on the darksome wind 
Riding the ghostly horse away from her friend
How I miss her my love


So now i seek to find the Widows keep
To propose a union between death and life
Ever so meek gladly I would speak
Although I be of the clan of man, I will still gladly offer my hand
My heart is yours, my soul to stay 
And walk beside you every night and day


Through weal and woe as chance may be 
I myself shall be true to you and never be so low
I shall never cheat and never meet any other that is your equal
Or so I believe 


So I walk through a mirrored hall of silvered glass
Lit by candle light amidst the waters of death
To meet with the queen of the keep 
The dark of night Widows Sleep

You can't call back the things you've done,
Nor stop the words you've spoken.
Accusing one another now,
Will not mend pledges broken.

The past is but a memory,
Of old things done and over,
Merely shades of times gone by,
That cannot be lived over.

One cannot live one's whole life through,
Beneath a darksome burden,
To hurl dark spears of wrath o'er long,
Will cause a fearsome burgeon;

A growth that kills the good in life,
And leaves but empty shells;
It's best to leave the past alone,
Just memorys on the shelf.

Someone To Hold 4

I almost lost my balance,
But you rescued me before I fell flat down on the floor
We, in unison, dance
You are the harmony of my symphony...your empathy is what I adore
You are someone I was looking for,
That awesome open door of endless opportunities and more  
I'm alright without sleep at night
But you worry that I won't make it 
But it's all black and white, darling angel 
Your encouragement and you're looking-after-me motive turns me on...now, it rings a familiar bell
I must tell you, you are a heaven, not much of a hell
You are the rare gem that I will never in my dreams sell
You tell me I sing better than Adam Levine and Adele...
Put together...
You are like no other 
My future is clear to me now, it ain't no blur and I'm no longer unsure
What lies ahead is meant to be
I bet it's gonna work out with you and me 
You and I I meant to say
I don't care about grammar, but whatever...I'm so cra-cra 
Odds are that you and I are two peas in a pod
Evens are that we are pleasing to the sight of God

I can't imagine a day without you and every time I think about your absence, I cry myself to sleep and I fear that I'll lose my glow
As Selena Gomez says in her lyrics, the heart wants what it wants...yep, I guess I coveted you a bit
I'm fired up by overwhelming vibes when I am right next to you...it's my fault for letting you go with woe in my heart and my anxieties swing me to and fro
I don't want to waste away your time like I think I do...I expressed my deepest regrets and secrets to you, so DON'T tell a soul or I'll have damage done to me in the darksome pit 

I write this poem to you obvious
I hope I don't seem oblivious 
I want to hold you and you to hold me back 
The aftershocks of being under pressure made me avoid everyone...I'm sorry I am foolish and thoughtless, left to be that lone magazine in the rack 

I hold onto these hardships and feelings on my back in a sack
It's like unpaid debt and homework in a stack 
I need to get back on track

 I need to strengthen all the weakness,
But I need help to make further progress 
Hold up, I missed what you just said
Say that again? Am I alive or dead?
