Blacken Poems | Examples


Premium Member Her Blacken Silhouette Has a Harden Heart-

was she unruly, unholy
questions placed and asked
she stood before me blacken
in her silhouette she was dark
shade and shape of black
draped down her strains of hair colored dark
nothing but midnight loss of color roth
absent of pigment color loss
invisible at night
yet at daylight, days she shines
she glows out
her spirit soul is light
as her heart is hard and black
questions placed and answers asked
solid black broken as glass
Her Blacken Silhouette Has a Harden Heart-

Premium MemberEbony Blacken Body-

His ebony tongue mouth discord;
Abundant flourished uncured;
Purple Heart death came close;
Browning skies fled past the nose to throat;
Blues blue brews asking hosts;
Blackness is the body of the voice ;

Premium MemberBlacken the Charcoal

Draw the embers into the wood
Stroke it like it's a three-legged stool
Blacken the charcoal of a dying fire
Fasten it to a sun swelling brighter
The object is to lick the smoking flame
Soberly thoughtful to call out His name

Should a flash shine brilliantly
With a radiant outburst of joy hotly
All about warming the frigid darkness
The ocean in which stars are as jellyfish
Will appear to the seers as Lumiere
Clearly my dear it's an Austral Hell

Toss another log into the house of Hades
Balance it on your heaven party gate           
Strum the drum to conjure up the worship
The song that worms the hawthorn brush
Into its strip tease yank along

Moon moss to heavy metal music loudly
Pound the ditty along to His shouting
The anthem of a wench's wrenching
The diddly of concerted celestial voicings
Heard charring with a fire from within
The product of an incandescent spell

See that which is bright always rises twice
Conditions darken before they go black
Then Hell behaves with new eyes
And the story is told in pantomime
About a joy and how it lingered a lifetime

Tear-Tainted Sail

In the beginning this boat was bare, 
Greenest with infant's sinless stare; 
Before soles more selfish than sane
Had trodden its dreary derelict main. 

First to blacken its still-tiptop form 
Were kith and kin as is sin's norm; 
For if brother Cain won't Abel kill, 
Which other bloodier maniac will? 

Then hopped wild neighbors' feet 
Onto this boat's floor sterile neat; 
And like schythes thrust to the hilts, 
Hurt this bud that yet writhing wilts. 

Nor were classmates' limbs and toes
Any kinder to this vessel's prior woes; 
Hasty to sprain its ingenuous naiveté, 
Sterner kilning did than fire dealt clay.

There finally was that first-ever flame, 
Wooled to the wrist like a mild dame; 
Which vulpine swill in flannels guised
Took I, and at last this boat capsized!

Premium MemberBlacken Winter-

It was black winter
Dead grasses and trees mourn
Earth black brown and tan skin
Yet moist is dried and barren
And a few squirrels here wonder
What's for dinner
Tree branches sworn
No fruits are nuts shown
Frost Frozen bearing scorn
So cold and barren
It was black winter

Premium MemberSunset Blacken Night-

SUNSET BLACKEN NIGHT-

Couldn't stop thinking about the sunset
It was just so minuscule and common
But I could never forget the crest

That morning, encountered I such sunset so sweet
Had to calm himself with a rest
So still I couldn’t stop thinking about the sunset
Atop test high hilly crest

Later, was I spooked by an asset
He tried to focus on a packed man
But he could never forget 
Hundred feet so high up into the skies
couldn't stop thinking about the sunset
It was just so minuscule and common

Fairy dust tried to distract me with a whet;
Said it was time to start thinking about a swag man;
While yet still I couldn't stop thinking about the sunset;
As my eyes yet still kiss the skies; 
Like an outlet, The sunset was like toxic; 
never forget I the haze, Soon to be blacken night;
tomorrow yet another solar day;

Premium MemberWinter Blacken Skies Snow Succulent Brights-

Mountain blizzard succulent Whirlpool night knows
Upon the heighten bridge light steadfast stalls
Ranges mountains bucket filled with snow
Frozen is the rain fall and winter calls

Blizzard Blues it storms over
Temperatures frozen air threatens us
Animals run for warrants cover
Where is the Abominable Trust

Succulent ices crunches maze
Autumns gold which is here blizzard season
Popular skiing sledding polar games craze 
Can't swim in frozen lake no reason

Twinkle white powder Frozen dew
Boy suspended fall and Crush sugar cubes
Specs on granulated salt sweetened
Frozen drops rain-- Sleeping

Black as night sparkle snowflakes 
Specs flowing growing drops of Lights 
Glitter Sparkle shine so bright 
Like Dark Skies black snow succulent Whirlpool nights
