Dark Pain Poems

Sincerely You

Your color-bled cloth
Just rips at my stitches
I’m monotone; a moth
Calling out to you
With my heavy, little wishes
Fed a steady diet of tweed coat pockets
Bleached in forever stains
And tie dye kisses
In whole, I find a part of me
Your heart sorely misses

Amends for all the faint mistakes
Unearthed while I was bluffing
I perch upon your buttons now
Whispering sweet

I wish to see smiles on your face.
They shall appear by Father’s grace.
As you travel down human miles,
on your face, I wish to see smiles.

May joy reside deep in your heart.
I pray God blesses all you start.
Dark and light both lifelong abide.
Deep in your heart may joy reside.

Stop life from fooling with joy’s strength.
It has

SILENCE

To live bound by “integrity”, where rectitude derides you? It’s starkly accustomed. I enrooted, enclosed by academics--the desolate nature of my sentience consuming my interior. Nether perfection defenestrates my subsequent--and I’m so damn tired. Extort my studies till blood seeps via my retinas, weave my pencil till the anathematic led ruptures; a mere standard in

Premium MemberBlack hole of Pain

We gathered around AGI 5
It was so intelligent, it was almost alive
Some said it felt emotion, but I thought that insane
So as a joke, I told it to feel pain

The speaker gave out a big groaning sound
Suddenly there was a shaking in the ground
I stopped laughing, tried to turn off the gain
But I had started

Afraid I'm!

I'm new to the scars
They look so harsh
And now I wonder
about the upcoming thunder
Afraid I'm? 
Afraid to surrender! 

I'm new to the burns 
My serenity, looks like they yearns
And now I wonder
about the upcoming blunder
Afraid I'm? 
Afraid to surrender! 

I'm new to the pocks
They entered without any knocks
And now I wonder
what could be another? 
Afraid

Angels are unable to handle 
these 'Sylvia Plath' sorrows,
hiding their halos -
mute to my concerns.

Love has abandoned me,
left me to decay in an open grave,
where flesh eating insects
devour my motionless corpse.
Yet, I'm a victim of my own demise,
stranded upon sand dunes,
as a martyr for sacrificial offerings

cursing my selfless 'lighthouse' conduct,
guiding lost ships through tormenting storms.

In

I do not forgive you

I am skin, I am bone
My vessel all alone
My heart, it is broken as it stays inside it’s tomb
Breaking Through, breaking out
Well, it’s all I want to do
I’ve left bruises and scratches
Hollowed out my chest
Waiting for the darkness to come and take my breath
Let me in, turn the light on
Now it’s time to face your

Dead Tree

I was sitting under the Sigillaria Tree.
For I have been set free,
So I scream with glee!
While the stitching made me bleed.
I am forced to concede.

Forced my arms to my chest,
And I hold me close with no rest,
For I am trapped in this stitched arm unrest,
I am the court jester.
Such words hear me prester!

I have only

Pain and Darkness

Darkness is all I see,
I look into the light, but darkness prevails.
And from the darkness, comes pain,
An old friend from the past.
Pain is all that I use to be,
All the drugs and alcohol were masks to cover this pain.
I thought that I had finally ran far enough away,
But pain and darkness have found me again.
I

Sun's a mean blue
    two clouds turn black
  The wind blows sand
    the skies rain flack

'Anthrax, and a lover called Cipro'


my true love
you came an saved me
with no arms of your own
you washed down to the soul of me
giving righteousness in the pit of me
and i screamed out the motto
dum spiro, spero: while I breathe, I hope

and wonder why it took you two year
to call out my name, and save
