Dark Romance Poems

MINE: Allure downfall

Allure downfall 
Embodiment of temptation
Seeped into my bloodstream making your way into my heart 
Ache behind the art 
Tender in the dark , killer with a kiss 
Softer than scars louder than silence 
Moon fire 

Promise are slippery things 
Watching her laugh with him feels like a final goodbye 
I thought giving her space was

Bitter

When the moon turns bitter and cold,
The night starts whispering tales untold.
No caress remains without a scar—
No hand can heal what nights unbar.

You're not just thirsty for the day,
But for a wine that fades away,
That pours from dreams you used to chase—
Now lost in time, now out of place.

A prisoner trapped in silent breath,
A cage

Winter's Cruel kiss

She's out of this world, thinking of no one but herself,
The pain she caused on that fateful day,
A forgotten wound that refuses to heal,
A heartless queen, selfish in her own way."
In the shadows of her mind, the memories linger on,
The day she chose to shatter his heart,
A decision made without thought or care,
A broken prince,

Dreams Dissolve in darkness

In the dead of night, her prince reveals his true form,
A wolf in sheep's clothing, his heart as cold as ice,
She's trapped in a nightmare, no fairy godmother in sight,
Her glass slippers shattered, her dreams left to freeze
Her heart, once on her sleeve, now lies frozen and alone,
Shattered like the glass that once adorned her

The Wicked Wonderment of We

Eyes of black - Heart of cold
He was the missing piece of my soul
He entered my world dressed in leather and lookin' mean
He was a delicious scream within' a dream
The Nevermore of Forevermore - a cut that never bleeds
He was it - a renegade stallion - menacing and powerful
Mystical and magnificent
Just the sight of him

A Haunting Waltz

As I recline, wearied, on this eve so dark and dreary,
Whispers in the shadows, tales of Victorian eerie.
The moon, a spectral lantern, spills its ghastly glow on cobblestone streets,
Where specters of yore, in corsets and top hats, discreetly meet.

Beneath flickering gas lamps, secrets deftly concealed,
In murky alleys, truths unfold, a clandestine reveal.
Gloom, thick

The Wanton Rapture Blazing

"The Wanton Rapture Blazing"

I hear you in the ribbons that sing
tied to poles of gallantry where charged
with acts of misadventure love carried me
to your walls, I wrote on them then, as I do now
to trace each mark, each a scar on the other's groove penned,
a key for the turning buried deep in a forgotten heart

Dark Romance

Let me be longing for the touch
 I've never felt
Or the love I've never had..
Let the cities be doomed
Or the minds be gloomed.
Can I care less?
Oh my love...
As our union is the purest,
dancing on the pyre of myths.
And for you and I, I seek nothing else!!

Before Mourning

"Before Mourning"



Dance? she said
let the moves
grip your mind
bury the words
burning roads
on your tongue
in a deep kiss
tattoo mine 
instead

a promise forewarning
I give this to thee 

I will take you 
before morning 

amuse
mystery

Fantome Du Noir Chevalier

“fantôme du noir chevalier”



whither doth thee cometh from?
Strange voice that I see
Coldness of ire burns 
the skin beneath sheets
paper white guise
black ink heart bleeding within - 
stranger the walls do speak here
in the mirror swimming See
the lost reflections of souls
the misguided forlorn 
disenchanted do scry
their petulant perplexity
ghosts for the haunting
picked like ripe plumbs
legions illuminating dead

Love Hurts

Oh how we danced all throughout the dark night,
We swayed perfectly on the mountains top,
Feeding me lies of love, never thought it'd stop,
No thought you'd leave but there's doubt that you might,
My soul was all yours, you crushed it in spite,
Soon realized you played with me like a prop.

I wonder if you love me like

All the Dark Stallions

"All the Dark Stallions"



Calliope burns 
ecstatic bright star
fire brands, all her marks

both hands 
holding the ropes
firmly fast today 

slow burn 
tomorrow
warm whispers 

gently towards
the unlit shadows
love wanting always stays

driving all 
the dark stallions
towards heaven

where the 
Whicker Man
claps for more Light

and 
Judgement
patiently waits
