Dark Life Poems - Poems about Dark Life

newspaper business has brought us far

newspaper business has brought us far
to these territories where desert rivers
descend from    huge clouds cultivated
but we live on        twisted lips to build
something for              those coming in
oh you who love   

Dark Life

Can we just not talk ?
Everything that will come up
you will only accuse and not understand.
All I got under my feet are unfriendly rock.
And there is no one to light the dark life
that settled on my land.

Reaper

The Reaper I know,
You respect no one. 
When you decide to take one home,
Age, color, accomplishments mean nothing to you
In your court. 

You harvest every soul
At your most convenience. 
In life's prime and low, you strike hard
Without any consideration. 

You cause unexplained weeping
And a void that will never be filled. You take when you want,
Without

The colour of greed

How is it that greed
corrodes thus the heart
that so many are willing
to compromise thoughts of afterlife
so easily discarding aspirations
for eternal peace ?

How sharp those failings cry

I look upon the world today as I have done all my life.
A laugh, a smile, worry or ok, it needs to be met head-on for all its strife.

Some days I’ll wake and feel the sun recharging my fading smile.
Some days I’ll wake and no matter how bright the sky sorrow will darken my mind.

I’ll

Alright? Goood.

Flashbacks

Flashbacks come when I’m alone,
a smell, a sound
and suddenly, I’m back there again.

Light and Dark

Light leads darkness,
Dark follows light,

Both learned to embrace each other,
And listen to each other’s plight.

Light wanted to illuminate the world,
Give every corner the warmth of sun,
Leave no corner untouched.

Dark wanted to calm the world,
And give the peace of night,
Give the world peace of mind, from their little trifes.

Light and Dark so different,
But their bond was

A Spectral Owl

Cloaked in a fitting grey suit and bow tie,
She floats like paper kites across meadows.
From a hollow in a tree, her eyes pry~
Her loud hoot startles nearby sleeping crows.

The spectral owl, with her faint, surprised look,
Watches as the crows flee into the dark.
Then silence reigns, curbed only by a brook,
And chirps of birds in the

Mankinds BS

I tire of the all the B.S

Thats spews from the mouths of mankind

Spoken with false sincerity

Good intentions undermined


No decency , no conscience

Souls darkened by deceit

Void of compassion and kindness

Hearts of solid concrete


Good, kind ,caring humans

Are the saving grace

To still have belief in mankind

To keep and maintain faith












 

Unleashing more fears

my love life is like a plot in a grand novel,
     where dawn stands tall,
yet dusk must kneel
   and grovel.

each chapter of it dims as twilight nears,
     unleashing darkness that feeds on
the carcass of
   waning years.

yet expectation remains high...

The UNIVERSE is the dark conscious intelligent energetic            


                  FORCE that's a SOURCE of cryptic codes


           

The Dark and the Light

The Dark And The Light


I am a poet nether dark or light,
but then there are days, that is what I write.
So when in the sun and everything’s bright,
that’s what I sing in the dark of the night.

The Great Oppression

This the great oppression, only the strong survive/
Never let them press you, stay strong or die/
Make them respect you, you gotta get it how you live/
In the field, it's real, so I can't chill/
Officers caution us, they feel we tough enough/
Behind closed doors and restraints, they tough as us/
Administration Segregation is a safe prison/
I won't

the sound of life

we breath in new
   the air is fresh
we breathe out stale
     the air is old
it's the circle of life
that keeps 
                    all alive

as the machine of existence
drives forward
