Best Sad Dark Poems
Some Sad Dark Secret"Temper your enthusiasm,"
She said,
"The extremes of your reactions;
You should have
A more conventional frame
On which to hang
Your unconventionality."
"Don't push people,"
She said,
"You make yourself vulnerable."
She told me not to rhapsodise,
That it would be difficult,
Impossible, perhaps,
For me to harness my dynamism.
The tone of my work,
She...

The RoseOnce bloomed a rose so young and fair
With dark brown eyes and long black hair
Beside her be a tall dark tree
Whose branches stretch to smother thee
Too close beside the shadowy bark
That soon begins to leave its mark
She cries for help, but none shall hear
Her thorns...

My Island HomeThe sand pelts my skin, as it blows with the wind. The waves lap at my toes, once again and again.
All this beauty surrounds me, near this magical sea. But one thing just dumbfounds me, why'd I leave-why'd I leave.
In the crystal blue...

Pockets of MiseryI stuff my pockets with misery and contempt,
overloading their contents, pleasure exempt.
I fill the dark spaces with sadness and dread,
overexerting the capacity, till all hope is dead.
I shove bits of hatred, and pieces of despair,
into tightly bound pockets, I callously wear.
I force fists of fury,...

Don'T Give Up On Me When I'M OutI set my eyes to this future of thine,
And I’ve always seen that one day it would be mine,
But all that it is running into a wall cryin’,
And all for lust, lying in suicide, dyin’,
And right here, right now, I have it all,
You’d never roll...

Confrontation With Evil - Part Ii - FearPart II - Iambic Tetrameter aabb rhyme
Part II
Concealed in dreams, revealed at dawn,
The dark brings demon things thought strong.
No morbid mood can now contain
Feigned pride residing there in pain.
The dreadful dark of dreams means fear,
As shades and shadows now appear,
In early morning forming light,
Selecting scenes...

KaliKali, Kali, Kali
She is the sated navy night
Swathed with soldering white stars
Warm summer air, coastal dream
An unwavering fortune of
deep, red Eden grapes
Hanging like drops of sweet wine
Shifting with dark leaves
the balmy breeze
with trees that sound like tumbling seas,
singing,
“Kali, Kali, Kali”
She is...

A Cold Dark NightAbandoned soul lost in a tempestuous storm
Cascading raindrops stream down the window pane
Oblivious is she to her own mournful wailing
Leeches line up to lay claim on their investment
Darkness falls soundly, hollowing out the pit of her being
Dirty deeds done cheap cost her more than her...

Throw Me In the Dark Blue Sealoving with my heart only to be told i am not the one
loving with my soul
loving with my all
why even love at all
seeing you do not love me
the good times you remember no more
thrown away into the dark blue sea
the times we shared...

Between the Trees In the Dark Forest...Between the trees in the dark forest,
Called a voice filled with fear,
Between the trees in the dark forest,
Everything was dark, and nothing was clear,
Between the trees in the dark forest,
Flowers cried immortal tears,
Between the trees in the dark forest,
Frightened whispers, that's all you can hear,
Between...

Dark Sideand i'm floating away
floating over to the dark side
cant hold it in
i cant do it anymore
my strength has been sapped
my will to live killed
for when you left me
to be with her instead
you took the life right out of my heart
and so i stand here,
and watch...

Who Am IMy life is a smokescreen
You can’t see me
I hide behind dark glasses
Of bright smiles and glee
You can’t find me
When you’re looking around
Because deep down inside me
That’s where I’m found
Down in the dungeon
Of damp dark despair
So don’t think you know me
Because I’m not up there
Where did...

Dark CloudAs the pain rolls over my heart
Like a dark cloud of despair
Pouring drops of hate unto my soul
As the hate rises to drown me in
This ocean of desperation
I look for salvation and see nothing
But the cold blackness that surround me.
With not a flicker of hope...
