Black Dog Poems - Poems about Black Dog

Trying to live by imaginary rules, We believe we have to follow, Only to think we're always failing, Left feeling useless, empty and hollow. With eyes red raw and burning, From all the tears that's been cried, Your demons begin to take control, Stealing your soul and self pride. Nightmares haunt you if you sleep, Drowning in darkness through the day, Happiness now becomes a...

Its raven skin follows without a 'woof,' no bark no bite, darker than a shadow in sunlight. It reflects in the mirror, staring with 'Edgar Allan Poe,' ebony eyes. At dawn it's at the bedside, wanting to wander into the morning mist. At twilight it rests its head on my pillow, stalking, into my sleep. It sits on the passenger seat, without a seatbelt, unfocused, unconcerned,...

I was soul searching one day, and seen inside of me, a black dog and a white dog, how could this be? What is this, I ask the Lord, show me, that I may know, in your wisdom, Father please let me grow. I thanked GOD, as if the answer, I had already received, He would...

Coloured Dogs Grey is the dog that haunts and whines; Whose boredom curls, whose mist entwines; Whose ennui dulls a lively mind, Whom inspiration deadens. Blue is the dog that grips the heart - Turns melancholia into art, Who tears the light of hope apart, And drowns all joy and laughter. Yellow’s the dog who runs and hides, Who shrinks from life’s high winds and...

The black dog is prowling around Just quietly without a sound The dog sniffs here and there Who it gets it doesn’t care It licks your hand just to say I am not going to go away And when you’re feeling low In it jumps and steals the show. © Paul Warren Poetry...

"Black Dog Barks" I feed the beast pieces of my heart Black Dog Barks prowling inside my parametres silky soft paws Black Dog Barks I feed the Jabberwock pieces of my mind this is how it begins torn and bloody I feed the Jabberwock pieces of my mind the mirror smiles back and says, gracefully “You’re fine” The mirror smiles back and says, malevolently “I own...

A black dog has got hold of her again. She sponges her face to a more rigid mask of brightness. She has been depressed before but this trench she trudges through is full of muddied water and she cannot find a way out. At work she has to teach her hands to do things she has done a thousand times before. Then there is the...

The black dog I don’t always sing a happy song The black dog bites and I’m all gone And I can’t see the sunshine then Wasted days are not my friend So I wait for it to pass To make me want my life to last There is no need to contemplate When all you can do is sit and wait So I...

Morning again without sleep,awake on the quilt,where are the pills? Nightmares shadow lingers in the mind,like under the sea,full of ills. They come at night mostly at night anxious thoughts panic, Is there anyone else awake?walking beneath the sma hours stars, Sweat freezing on brow howling in ears chasing round the fears, He sits and waits with lolling tongue breath...

The Black dog follows me; Down the dark lanes and pathways of the years; Over the wide, cold chasms in the night, With steady, even pace, I am pursued. I lift my torch, to survey the darkness all about; My hand is trembling, and my breath is short, Yet I hear the soft shuffle of his feet as he draws near. Black...

The black dogs barking Sending you mad Howling like crazy Baying and whining Driving you mad Telling you this Telling you that Making up the future Changing the past Invading you’re thoughts With the what and the why and the how and the who No time for logic No room for common sense The black dog is braying Relentless won’t stop Yapping and crying The thing will not stop Growling and snarling Sending you...
