Best Love Dark Poems
have you ever felt like
the flashing red light on the roof,
lonely as ever
visible at night, useless by day?
in sync with its partner next door
for a quick kiss over a few flashes only
then arguing again and again
night in, night out.
have you ever felt like
the flashing red light on the roof,
not signaling a warning to keep away
but sending a call for compassion?
using the dark pauses in between
to yell the same name
over and over and over
into the emptiness of each night.
have you ever felt like
the flashing red light on the roof,
being your silent cry
only heard by your eternal love?
She wears
a dark façade -
a charcoal grey
once hot like burning coals.
Consumed by too much passion
she was scorched.
Too long
she has smoldered.
Her dark façade
is cold now. . . and brittle.
She fears that if you touch her
she’ll crumble.

For Nette Onclaud's VIEWS FROM A VIGNETTE Poetry Contest
The orb calls to me, beckons breast beat,
blood in veins permeates, face red with heat,
as I asphyxiate, am dominated, reach climax.
Each time lustful, more powerful, sensual.
I crave this fix, my only reason to exist,
addicted to what only it can give, aahhhh.
Run my hands across thy frame, caress bits,
bite lip, if it wants blood, blood darling dear gets.
Prowl the street cloaked temptress,
lady in the tattered azure dress,
lioness disguised broke innocent.
Stranger approaches flashes bill,
curl thy onyx lipstick, teeth glint,
looks like mama found her kill.
Lustfully signal follow, his pants out fill,
puppy panting as we arrive at house on hill.
Velvet lips embrace his, sinker hook and reel,
downstairs feet flutter, horn dog on my heels.
Stair steps slow when he sees my dark caster,
honey’s veins slither the man spins, foot patter.
Tentacles wrap, bind, whiplash backwards,
shrieks elevate, laced crackle of my laughter.
Appendages worm in orally, lurch, teeth shatter,
man’s skin sinks, bled, swiftly made gray plaster.
Husk flung, tentacles grant thy trophy, fly thigh,
moaning peels into the pale moonlit nigh sky.
Heaving, baby craves more, yes, I too my lovely,
scarlet I will bring you every night, to daylight,
just vow you will pleasure me, my crimson king.
To love something or someone so much comes with a lot of happiness and pain
It comes with a lot of happiness because you finally feel like you have a worth. You have to fight for. You have something to believe in….
But it comes with pain because once you decide to take it away it leaves a giant whole in a heart that can't be filled with no one else
It's hard to smile when you have so much pain.
It hard to fight when you feel like you are losing the war
And it is hard to feel love when it's been ripped away from you…
But I want you to know that it is ok to be sad
It's ok to be depressed
And it's ok to relax for a while
But what isn't ok is to give up
To call it quits
To bring yourself down
You have to fight
You need to fight
I need you to fight with every breath….
They need you to fight with every breath….
But just remember this always…
You don't have to fight alone….
Because I am here….
For you
I grabbed her hand
Hope and love sweling
Mixing into an enticing brew
Whose flavor
brought forth
all the wild creatures
from the desert araound me.
They applauded m success
and ran back for their's
But I had the luck
of the blessed
I held her hand tight
Told her who I was
She nodded
Her light engulfed me
Suddenly my fright swelled inside
What if she left too?
The dark roadis too hard
for me now.
She grabbed my hand
Told me she loved me
In twelve seconds
she smelt my fear
tasted my love
Tired of my existence
and departed
I was rooted to the spot
Her flesh's warmth
had yet to leave my palm
when she passed into the sunset
Shock numbed my feet
Shock numbed my tongue
It was dark
Darker than it had been
Too dark to breath
Too dark to walk
I fell by the roadside
To the vultures
Even crawling was too hard
I poked out my eyes
So no more beauty could touch my soul
I cut off my feet
So I could not walk
It took all of two seconds
for the vultures to come
My end is here
But death is preferable to pain
I welcome the big grey birds."
There was that absolute obsidian in the air,
Not the holy kind -
But the kind you burn,
The dangerous fatal!
I wanted to kneel,
Not to worship -
But to plead with the grace you bled into,
Not to abandon me.
You walked like undone hymns,
A prayer with no mercy,
A pulse with no damnation,
The undoes sanity, dressed in reverence.
A moth that denies its hunger for the blaze,
A dagger veiled in silk,
For I drowned in a gaze -
I was never meant to hold.
We don’t just love, we fall so deep into the emotion
that we’re consumed in the feeling,
we’re terrified of the thought of you leaving,
so we leave before you have the chance.
I always thought this was beautiful, until I realised that when its time for us to leave, we aren’t just sad,
we see suicide and destruction as our only option,
we give you the wings of love and the chance
for you to fly away, but if you do, our hearts are left scarred. That’s why we always run first,
because even though deep down we hope you
will catch us, we pretend that turning the world against us was the only option.
Disdainful moon,
Scrutinized my happiness
And unparalleled delight
Delight that she once felt
Towards her only light
Light that made her beautiful
And displayed her unrivaled might
Might that gradually fading
Because of her shattered pieces heart
Heart that caused her to be secluded,
Torn asunder, and apart
Apart that will no longer be together
And be like exquisite finest art
Art that appreciates beauty
Of the lost and isolated
Disdainful moon
Soft and deep, dark eyes hiding secrets from yourself,
Making up your own realities, while Truth waits upon the shelf.
Haunting, it waits while the spiral ascends you,
Taking you higher and deeper into yourself;
Making up your realities, while Truth laughs upn the shelf.
I watch; my power beside me. Listening, there's nothing I can do.
You choose the path, you choose the weapon,
you choose the enemy. He is you.
Our paths crossed and we loved each other
for an instant in the eternity of our time.
We choose the path, we choose the weapon,
I choose my enemy. You are mine.
Now our time is short and the painful day is ending;
An affair with Power that seems never spent.
I thought you were the supreme answer to loving,
And our jaded love was the main event.
But love no longer blinds me.
I can look beyond your soft, dark eyes into the place
You hide your thoughtless lies.
You're keeping secrets from yourself.
Making up your own realities, while Truth yawns upon the shelf.
Emerged in your desire for freedom,
Why are you so blind to the shackles encircling your feet?
Freedom means responsibility, too, and taking risks.
Like love, it's bitter-sweet.
It means being free to try again when all else has failed.
In peace, you are free to hold out your softer hand
Unabashed to the reasons why you faltered,
Releasing pain and anger in order to understand.
You could rest your head upon my shoulder
Or, you are free to stand and leave.
I can tell you, but you'll never believe it:
You can entrust your heart, or retrieve it.
You think freedom means being able to run away
And never having to explain to me why
You have the right to break my heart,
Leaving me crumbled and alone to cry.
Just remember Freedom encases your love in
Shackles like so many colorful paper chains,
Only to be broken at the stroke of your hand.
Clutch it too hard and it slips away like sand.
But love no longer blinds me.
I now know the greatest love is for my own Self.
and Truth smiles and applauds amidst the dust upon the shelf.
The Darkness fills me
illuminates fingertips
my eyes turn jet black
our dark hearts shatter like glass
your skin is cold blue
once vibrant soul matches suit
paralized with fear
we dance on our graves
holding sober hands
childrens laughter fills my head
flashing dark crimson and white
the grounds set for our last stand
our features are blank
as our last breath expires
embrace and explode
When Thomas went down on Sally
did he curse the weakness
of his white flesh or did he see
her dark thighs as his due?
Did he forget all his philosophy,
or try to use it to justify his lust,
or did he love,
without reserve?
When Sally went down on Thomas,
did she curse her weakness
for white privilege or did she see
her dark thighs as a trap?
Did she forget all her loyalties,
or try to use them to justify her lust,
or did she love,
without reserve?
Is it wrong that the kind I like
Is tall dark and handsome
Am I too high in my standards
I mean really their not standards
Their just a summary of many boy friends
and crushes
All worthy of crowns
For their fine selves
I like em dark
Nice smiles
Dressing to kill
basketball stars
Able to keep up with my intelligence
and still keep it real hood
I love them funny
Comedian style
Muscular and in shape
Sweet and confident
Pretty much that category
Am I to shallow?
Or to demanding?
Are my standards to high?
You don't think I can find a man
Like that?
Well don't tell the world
But I've found a spot where
all they dish out is the absolute
Best
I'm in heaven so I guess my standards
Have to be high
It's just what i'm used to
Please don't get mad
Part I: Sin
Mariah of Magdala
The cursed one among women
Better that you were not born
The one full of black evil
Queen of prostitutes
None of modest can be traced in you
Yet men still Adour you
They still come crawling even in black dark
They do not care if day is scorching bright
Neither if its black pitch in deep groovy woods
They hunt you from the cave you hide
When they smell your shadow Mariah
They cannot hold on their dripping appetite
That made wet their groins
What charm are you using Mariah!
Why don’t you share with other women?
Do you want all the men to yourself Mariah?
cover my love with blood soke
her in wine show her true dark love
give her dark and bloody kisses tell
her that you will be her true dark romeo.
Lets hike through broken lanes, till life make sense
Lets fence fear, give that insane pain a blockage
Till life make sense
Lets page our broken pieces of thoughts and hope
Let climb valleys and hills of sin
Till life make sense
Hold me tight, lets crash those ends that break us to ashes
Walk with me, parade the sour cloudy waves
Till life make sense
Lets throw stones to talks untill they sink
Lets dance till our sweat forms a sea
Till life make sense
Together we can drift, and swim through the sharks
Wrap you in my skin, hold till we start to float
We'll ride though the smoke
Untill life make sense
Lets float till we describe a dream
Freedom can only mean you and me
The world fires at you, roast you bad within
Paint you in black , till you drown in black wine
You dance and wine in pain, closes your heart, embracing the devils wheels within
You steam , role yourself as own enemy, then throw yourself in the bin
You watch as my heart scatter and shrink within
Say that am too good for sting
But I won't just let you fade, you're my beautiful mistake
I'l dive on your skin
Tilt pain, sun-kiss your soul, breath away drama and doubt
Till we fly in flashes
I 'll wear your heart, breaks locks, till love saves us
We'll run the light till we find the truth
I'll breath you, humour you till we find us
I'll stir chances on you , dance with hues
Till I seclude you completely from blues
Babe you're the force behind these traits
You track my mysteries and remind me what life is supposed to be
You're the pioneer of my dreams, the slasher of my big pride
You patron my moods, you're the twin of my smile
Your love is a massive crowd that cheer my heart
Your hand is the sun that catches and warms my soul
You paint all corrodes that threatens my future
You cement my dreams, the stars seems so near
You dish away nonsense, critics are cage as slaves
You're my ultimate king
You're my platinum win
You make me mingle with my spirits
Tatter dark till there's a healing
Meeting you was a mistake
Loving you is a cheeful beautiful mistake
