Dark Poems | Examples of Dark Poetry

There’s someone that you want to kill, but ride it out, avoid the rope? You’d spare the chair in prisonville? then I am here to give you hope! Number one, you don’t want blood. Don’t be Wilson, be Joe Starrett. You’ll never come to any good the day you spill your victim’s claret. Blood will give the game away. They’ll find the pattern on...

Not once did I blink, Afraid your gaze would fade at twilight’s brink, Drowning silent in your soundless sea, Begging the world to let me be, Even if death walks next to me. No past to flee, No future to believe, Only you — a shadow near, Clutching time in a crystal tear. I won’t let go of your hand, Though skies might break and...

Diving deep in the pond of the sub-consciousness I die every night, you die every night too This is our way of rejuvenating the body This may sound crazy, eerily or even spooky, However, this is absolutely or definitely true Our body makes a special trip to correct the mess Which takes place from a certain time to the other We die...

I can feel it all burning down, the walls I painted in soft colors, the corners I swept clean for company— they crackle in silence. Instead of exploring other ruins, chasing ghosts in forgotten places, I should stop. Sit with the dust in my own lungs. Run my hands along the scorch marks I never let cool. There is wreckage here I never named. I’ve been walking...

Heartache swells like a bruise Sky fades to black Eternity passes And still no light Curled in lonely despair Dawn will not crack Buried so low, I am Dark coal of night!...

I feel it all.. the highs, the lows.. The silent grief that never shows. I smile like I’ve not seen the fire.. But flames still flicker beneath the wire. I play it cool, a practiced game.. While inside burns a nameless flame. A storm of thoughts, both sharp and deep.. That churns beneath what looks like sleep. I’ve danced through hell at a...

We die a little bit Each day and each night As we live every minute Gleeful or glum under the light. We die in our sleep And rise again if we’re lucky And blessed. This is deep Few people are truly canny or savvy. Believe not in all the glitters When it’s time to go or to depart Gravity behaves like deadly creatures. We die every...

At 03:33AM beneath a weeping sky, In a haunted graveyard spirits cry. Thirteen figures in robes of night, Encircled me by candlelight. We faced the moon and chanted low, Thirteen times, the AUM did flow. A silver beam struck through my head, I saw strange colors, blue and red. “You see now what the blind deny, You walk unseen, you’ll never die. Your soul is...

Sian, she sits in a lonely room, Hugging at her knees Should she go to London Town, Or stay where her roads are clean? Sian, she sits on a wooden chair, She falls onto her knees She longs to be in London Town, Where her words aren’t clean She’s let her head go wild, and ride Off into the sun She shakes the dignity from...

I'm standing In a line Patiently waiting For my turn or time Standing in the lane of success. I keep wondering So many had made it Why is mine staying longer Sometimes I admit Maybe mine is bigger Or it will never come to my time or turn. I keep racing for it So many times I work and prayed But...

She's so wise and courageous She's so contagious She's not everyone's type She's good and bad Depends on how you ride Stay on the tide She takes no bribe, even if you're her tribe. She's a God sent With nice cents Like she burns insects She wears unisex Never urge for sex She's offset Don't upset her. She conscious She never reap Where she...
